aucmd-toggle

Super basic toggle for your predefined autocommands.

Usage

Say you want to toggle on/off one or more autocommands.

By event

Choose an event for which you wish to toggle all aucmds, BufWritePre for example.

:ToggleAucmdsByEvent BufWritePre

This is kind of a shotgun approach, for a more fine-grained control...

By autogroup

Create an augroup for your command/s, OnSaveGroup for example.

local on_save_grp = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("OnSaveGroup", {})

Add your desired command/s to it.

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("BufWritePre", {
  group = on_save_grp,
  callback = function()
    vim.lsp.buf.format({ async = false })
  end
})

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("BufWritePost", {
  group = on_save_grp,
  callback = function()
    print("hi mom")
  end
})

Toggle to your heart's content!

:ToggleAucmdsByGroup OnSaveGroup

Use Case

I usually have some sort of format/do stuff on save aucmd set up to help me out while I code.

Often enough, when working with a huge legacy code base, I need to make sure NOT to format a whole file (for obvious reasons).

In general, there are situations where the "always do this on save" approach is just not an option.

I wanted a simple way to tell nvim "ok, now do your thing" or "let me handle this myself", so I made this.

Mind you, if you just want a way to only format the lines you've changed this lovely plugin might suit your needs much better!
