ts-node-select.

🌳 Modern incremental selection for Neovim using the new Tree-sitter API 🌳

Built with the new vim.treesitter API · Deterministic selection · Hackable & lightweight

---

nvim-treesitter removed the old incremental_selection module. This plugin brings it back using the new vim.treesitter API — works with every language, stays small, and just works.

Custom Keymaps

  keymaps = {
    init   = "<leader>si",

Requirements

• Neovim 0.11+
• nvim-treesitter
• Tree-sitter parser for your language (:TSInstall <language>)

Troubleshooting

If the plugin isn't working, check that the parser is installed and loaded:

:TSInstallInfo
:lua print(vim.treesitter.get_parser(0):lang())
