# Indent Blankline

This plugin adds indentation guides to all lines (including empty lines).

It uses Neovim's virtual text feature and **no conceal**

This plugin requires Neovim 0.5 or higher. It makes use of Neovim only
features so it will not work in Vim.
There is a legacy version of the plugin that supports Neovim 0.4 under the
branch `version-1`

## Install

Use your favourite plugin manager to install.

For [lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim):

```lua
{ "lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim" },
```

For [packer.nvim](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim):

```lua
use "lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim"
```

For [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug):

```vim
Plug 'lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim'
```

## Setup

To configure indent-blankline, either run the setup function, or set variables manually.
The setup function has a single table as argument, keys of the table match the `:help indent-blankline-variables` without the `indent_blankline_` part.

```lua
require("indent_blankline").setup {
    -- for example, context is off by default, use this to turn it on
    show_current_context = true,
    show_current_context_start = true,
}
```

Please see `:help indent_blankline.txt` for more details and all possible values.

A lot of [Yggdroot/indentLine](https://github.com/Yggdroot/indentLine) options should work out of the box.

## Screenshots

All screenshots use [my custom onedark color scheme](https://github.com/lukas-reineke/onedark.nvim).

vim.opt.listchars:append "eol:↴"

require("indent_blankline").setup {

#### With custom background highlight

```lua
vim.opt.termguicolors = true
vim.cmd [[highlight IndentBlanklineIndent1 guibg=#1f1f1f gui=nocombine]]
vim.cmd [[highlight IndentBlanklineIndent2 guibg=#1a1a1a gui=nocombine]]

require("indent_blankline").setup {
    char = "",
    char_highlight_list = {
        "IndentBlanklineIndent1",
        "IndentBlanklineIndent2",
    },
    space_char_highlight_list = {
        "IndentBlanklineIndent1",
        "IndentBlanklineIndent2",
    },
    show_trailing_blankline_indent = false,
}
```

#### With context indent highlighted by treesitter

```lua
vim.opt.list = true
vim.opt.listchars:append "space:⋅"
vim.opt.listchars:append "eol:↴"

require("indent_blankline").setup {
    space_char_blankline = " ",
    show_current_context = true,
    show_current_context_start = true,
}
```

`show_current_context_start` uses underline, so to achieve the best result you
might need to tweak the underline position. In Kitty terminal for example you
can do that with [modify_font](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/conf/#opt-kitty.modify_font)
