• Highlight the current block (if, with, range, etc.)
• Jump between the start and end of a block with %
• experimental: Overwrite templates with their current values using virtual text (See Demos)
• experimental: Show hints highlighting the effect of nindent and indent functions (See Demos)

• %: Jump between the start and end of a block (if, with, range)

Installing

Using lazy.nvim

{
    "qvalentin/helm-ls.nvim",
    ft = "helm",
    opts = {
        -- leave empty or see below
    },
}

If you are not using lazy, make sure to call require("helm-ls").setup() in your Lua config.

Requirements

The plugin requires helm-ls and the helm tree-sitter grammar for the additional features. Install the helm tree-sitter grammar using TSInstall after installing the nvim-treesitter plugin.

:TSInstall helm

Configuration

Default config:

{
  conceal_templates = {
    -- enable the replacement of templates with virtual text of their current values
    enabled = true, -- this might change to false in the future
  },
  indent_hints = {
    -- enable hints for indent and nindent functions
    enabled = true,
    -- show the hints only for the line the cursor is on
    only_for_current_line = true,
  },
  action_highlight = {
    -- enable highlighting of the current block
