Find files and code, manage buffers and terminals, view images, and review GitHub pull requests from Neovim.
What you can do with snacks.nvim
Search project text and open buffers and jump to matching lines.
Good to know
Project grep uses ripgrep.
Browse Git branches, commits, status, stashes, and diff hunks from Neovim.
Good to know
Requires Git and a Git repository.
Jump to definitions, references, implementations, and symbols using language servers.
1 other tool for: Jump to definitionsGood to know
Requires an attached language server supporting the requested operation.
Create custom selection lists with configurable matching, previews, and layouts.
Good to know
Requires Lua configuration.
Browse and manage project files in a tree inside Neovim.
Good to know
Requires the Snacks picker. Trash needs trash, gio, a supported KDE client, or Windows PowerShell; deletion falls back to permanent removal if no supported command is found.
View image files and render images and math inside supported documents.
Good to know
Requires a Kitty Graphics Protocol terminal; WezTerm lacks inline rendering and Zellij is unsupported. Non-PNG conversion needs ImageMagick; document rendering needs Tree-sitter parsers.
Open large files while disabling LSP and Tree-sitter attachment to those buffers.
Good to know
The default threshold is 1.5 MB or an average line length of 1,000 characters.
Show all 33
Delete buffers while keeping the window layout and prompting for unsaved changes.
Open recent files, projects, and sessions from a configurable startup dashboard.
Good to know
Session restoration requires a supported session manager; automatic session-manager support uses lazy.nvim.
Focus on the active code scope by dimming surrounding code.
Open a file, branch, commit, or repository in its hosting website.
Good to know
Requires a Git remote; available URL types depend on the host. The default browser opener on Neovim 0.9 uses lazy.nvim.
See indentation guides and the current code scope while editing.
Enter text in floating input prompts that replace Neovim input dialogs.
Use LazyGit in a floating terminal with Neovim colors and editor integration.

See a file supplied on the command line before other plugins finish loading.
Good to know
Requires early setup of the quickfile module.
Rename files with language-server notifications and file-explorer integrations.
Good to know
Language-server updates depend on server support; external explorers need the documented integration.
Select and jump between code scopes using Tree-sitter or indentation.
Good to know
Falls back to indentation when Tree-sitter scope detection is unavailable.
Keep persistent scratch notes and run Lua snippets with inline output.
Good to know
Lua execution applies to Lua scratch buffers; scratch files are organized by directory, Git branch, and count.

Good to know
Terminal buffers are excluded by the default filter.
Display line numbers, marks, signs, and fold controls in the editor margin.
Good to know
Git indicators depend on sign-producing integrations.
Open and toggle shell terminals in floating windows or splits.
Good to know
Requires an available shell or command.
Toggle editor settings with keymaps and optional which-key state indicators.
Good to know
which-key integration is optional.
Highlight and jump between language-server references to the current word.
Good to know
Requires an attached language server with document highlighting support.

Good to know
Requires Lua configuration.
Inspect Lua values and backtraces in Neovim notifications.
Apply keymaps only to matching filetypes or language-server capabilities.
Good to know
Requires Lua configuration; LSP-aware maps need a matching attached client.
Browse GitHub issues and pull requests, manage them, and write inline review comments from Neovim.
Good to know
Requires installed, authenticated GitHub CLI and the Snacks picker. PR diff review comments require the fancy renderer, which is forced for that view.
Jump to project symbols using a ctags file.
Good to know
Requires a tags file.
Highlight another language inside Lua strings with a Tree-sitter injection comment.
Good to know
Requires Tree-sitter highlighting and the relevant language parser.

Read rendered inline math expressions in Neorg documents.
Details
Inline math rendering is updated and extended to Neorg. The explorer selects No first in confirmation prompts, while image concealment now targets math by default.
Also: Remote Git branches can be listed, scope detection can be disabled per buffer, and explorer confirmation defaults to No.
Install tag v2.23.0; Neovim >= 0.9.4. Inline math needs a compatible graphics terminal, a document parser, and math conversion tools.

Find files and jump through a Neovim project with fuzzy selection lists.
Details
This baseline records capabilities already present at the start of the release window, using the v2.22.0 documentation. Modules are selected through Snacks configuration and exposed through `Snacks` functions.
Also: Existing tools cover file browsing, images, scratch notes, terminals, notifications, code scopes, and focused editing.
Install snacks.nvim through a Neovim package manager; requires Neovim >= 0.9.4. Enable the desired modules and initialize startup modules early.
