⚙️ Config

• hints can be hidden by setting their priority to 0. If you want to hide the entire virtual line, set all elements to prio = 0 in combination with the below.

• showBlankVirtLine = false Setting this option will mean that if a Virtual Line would be blank it won't be rendered

• gutterHints can be hidden by setting their priority to 0.

• highlightColor can be set in two ways:

  1. As a table containing a link property pointing to an existing highlight group (see :highlight for valid options).
  2. As a table specifying custom highlight values, such as foreground and background colors. (more info)

• disabled_fts can be used to disable precognition on specific filetypes.

Hint priorities

Any hints that could appear in the same place as others should have unique priorities to avoid conflicts.

❔Usage

precognition can be controlled with the Precognition user command, as well as programmatically via the Lua API.

Toggling

The hints can be toggled on and off with

:Precognition toggle

or

require("precognition").toggle()

The return value indicating the visible state can be used to produce a notification.

if require("precognition").toggle() then
    vim.notify("precognition on")
else
    vim.notify("precognition off")
end

The subcommands and functions show and hide are also available.

Peeking

The hints can be peeked, this means that the hint will be show until the next cursor movement.

:Precognition peek

or

require("precognition").peek()
