ur4ltz / follow-md-links.nvim

A neovim plugin that allows you to easily follow local markdown links.

follow-md-links.nvim

This neovim plugin allows you to follow local markdown links. It's written in lua and uses nvim-treesitter to identify links. This is alpha stage software and written by someone who's mostly just discovering how to write lua.

This plugin requires neovim v0.5.

Installation

Packer:

use {
  'jghauser/follow-md-links.nvim',
  config = function()
    require('follow-md-links')
  end
}

You also need the nvim-treesitter plugin, and you need to enable the markdown parser (which can trigger crashes in certain situations). To install the markdown parser you need to add this to your nvim-treesitter setup:

local parser_config = require "nvim-treesitter.parsers".get_parser_configs()
parser_config.markdown = {
    install_info = {
        url = "https://github.com/ikatyang/tree-sitter-markdown",
        files = {"src/parser.c", "src/scanner.cc"}
    },
    filetype = "markdown",
}

Configuration

You might also want to add the following keymap to easily go back to the previous file with backspace:

vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('', '<bs>', ':edit #<cr>', {noremap = true, silent = true})
