🚀 Installation

Using lazy.nvim:

return {
  "timseriakov/spamguard.nvim",
  event = "VeryLazy",
  config = function()
    local spamguard = require("spamguard")
    spamguard.setup({
      keys = {
        j = { threshold = 9, suggestion = "use s / f instead of spamming jjjj 😎" },
        k = { threshold = 9, suggestion = "try { of ( instead of spamming kkkk 😎" },
        h = { threshold = 9, suggestion = "use b / 0 / ^ instead of spamming hhhh  😎" },
        l = { threshold = 9, suggestion = "try w / e / f — it's faster! 😎" },
        w = { threshold = 8, suggestion = "use s / f — more precise and quicker! 😎" },
      },
    })
    vim.schedule(function()
      spamguard.enable()
    end)
  end,
}

If a key is not listed in your config, it will fall back to the default behavior.

🧠 Disabling for specific buffers

You can disable spamguard in a specific buffer like this:

vim.b.disable_spamguard = true

This is useful for excluding special-purpose buffers or floating windows where tracking is not desired.
