January 4, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
An indentation plugin born for the pursuit of minimalism, speed and stability.
It renders in the NeoVim screen redraw circle and should keep the NeoVim fast.
Install
Install with any plugin manager or as a NeoVim package.
Configuration
| Key | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| char | Character to draw the indentation guides | <BAR> |
| enabled | Default state of the plugin | true |
| exclude | Disable in these filetypes | {} |
| exclude_nodetype | TreeSitter classes where guides are not drawn | {} |
| key | Hotkey to toggle the guides | '' |
| minlevel | Minimum level where indentation is drawn | 0 |
| only_current | only highlight current indentation level | false |
Example
The plugin supports lazy-loading:
-- Either declare `vim.g.indentmini_key` before you load the plugin:
vim.g.indentmini_key = '<F5>'
-- or use your plugin manager, for example Lazy.nvim:
{
url = 'https://github.com/nvimdev/indentmini.nvim',
cmd = { 'IndentToggle', 'IndentEnable', 'IndentDisable' },
keys = {
{'<F5>', '<Cmd>IndentToggle<CR>', desc = 'Toggle indent guides'},
},
lazy = true,
config = function()
require("indentmini").setup({
only_current = false,
enabled = false,
char = 'โ',
key = '<F5>', -- optional, can be set here if you don't lazy-load
minlevel = 2,
exclude = { 'markdown', 'help', 'text', 'rst' },
exclude_nodetype = { 'string', 'comment' }
})
end
}
Toggle functionality
You can toggle the guides via:
Commands
:IndentToggle- Toggle indent guides on/off:IndentEnable- Enable indent guides:IndentDisable- Disable indent guides
Hotkey
For lazy-loading setups, set the global variable before the plugin loads:
vim.g.indentmini_key = '<F5>'
For non-lazy setups, use the key option in setup():
require("indentmini").setup({
key = '<F5>',
})
API
local indentmini = require("indentmini")
indentmini.toggle()
indentmini.enable()
indentmini.disable()
Colours
The plugin uses IndentLine* highlight groups and provides no default values.
vim.cmd.highlight('IndentLine guifg=#123456')
vim.cmd.highlight('IndentLineCurrent guifg=#123456')
