ellipsis.nvim

Neovim plugin to convert gaps in text into a sequence of horizontal ellipsis. Any sequence of three or more consecutive spaces between non-space characters is considered a gap. For example, the plugin converts this:

foo        foo
bar        bar
quux       quux

into this:

foo ……………… foo
bar ……………… bar
quux …………… quux

Note that this plugin is designed for Neovim's visual line mode only, and will modify complete lines.

Installation

Lazy plugin manager

When using lazy.nvim, the following snippet suffices:

{
  'rseichter/ellipsis.nvim',
  opts = { bindto = '<leader>ell' },
}

There is no default value for bindto. The bound LUA function is Ellipsis.convert().

Manual installation

The procedure for manual plugin installation is described in the Neovim documentation. Use the command :help packages to access it.

Usage

Select lines in Neovim visual mode, then use your defined key binding.
