This plugin provides a simple way to work with scratch buffers in Neovim. It opens a floating window for temporary notes or edits and does not save anything to disk. You can quickly open a scratch buffer without affecting your current workspace. Additionally, the plugin allows customization of the buffer’s default name and appearance.
- Open a scratch buffer in a floating window for quick edits.
- Customize the default name, appearance, and behavior of the scratch buffer.
- The scratch buffer is purely temporary and does not save to disk.
- No interference with existing buffers or files, keeping your workspace clean.
- Markdow support for rich text editing.
To install this plugin, you can use your favorite Neovim package manager. For example:
{
"reybits/scratch.nvim",
lazy = true,
keys = {
{ "<leader>ts", "<cmd>ScratchToggle<cr>", desc = "Toggle Scratch Buffer" },
},
cmd = {
"ScratchToggle",
},
opts = {},
}The default configuration options are listed below:
opts = {
title = " Scratch ",
border = "rounded",
width = 0.8,
height = 0.8,
}The plugin provides two commands:
:ScratchToggle— Opens or Closes scratch buffer.
You can also use the plugin's Lua functions directly:
require('scratch').toggle()— Equivalent to:ScratchToggle.
