Print context using treesitter/lsp

[IndianBoy42]

Similar to this old plugin: https://github.com/polarmutex/contextprint.nvim

You might be interested in https://github.com/SmiteshP/nvim-navic to do the work of calculating the context from lsp

Thanks, this is a really interesting idea! I won't be able to look at this this week but will definitely pop this on the backlog for action.

Also look at https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-context

similar issue: #112

Support different external plugins for doing this e.g. navic: https://github.com/PatschD/zippy.nvim

So I've looked at zippy.nvim, and it's too flaky, as it relies on LSP attaches.

nvim-treesitter-context is also not suitable, it looks at what's "in view" on the screen as it uses it for drawing a breadcrumb, this is not what we need.

contextprint.nvim is too basic, dated, and relies on hardcoded TS approaches as opposed to queries.

I'm keeping this issue open, but right now I would like a simple way to do this via TS, or it's just adding too much complexity to this simple tool.

Consider doing something really crude using indentation...

[andrewferrier]

OK, so indentation turns out not to be straightforward, as it's hard to account for blank lines in between blocks of code etc.

Hey! Not sure if this will help, but https://github.com/ThePrimeagen/refactoring.nvim also has some logic for detecting the class / function (at least it works for TypeScript). Should be here in the debug folder.

Thanks, I'll take a look when I get a moment!
