✨ Feature: Keep org_indent's indentation in hybrid mode.

[Zevan770]

🔖 Feature description:

Currently, with org_indent and linewise_hybrid_mode enabled, cursorline(or an alternatively edit_range) won't be renderd. Thus, the extra indentation for org_indent is not applied on cursor line.

My preference is debounce as much as possible. I don't want to see the cursor line deindent and indent frequently.

Is it possible to keep the indentation of cursor line in hybrid mode?

📂 Possible solutions:

I haven't read the source carefully. Is partially rendering possible?

🧾 Feature reference:

render-markdown.nvim does render cursor line in a way like above, with similar (org-like-heading) indentandconceal` enabled.

My preference is debounce as much as possible. I don't want to see the cursor line deindent and indent frequently.

That's why linewise_hybrid_mode is disabled by default. Figuring out what should be rendered on a set of lines is kinda hard since a lot of the elements have weird structure.

What's the issue with using the normal hybrid mode? It's a lot less janky and does what you want.

I have played around with your idea for a bit and I don't think it would work with linewise_hybrid_mode.

Of course, if you have some idea then I am all ears.

Thanks for your time.

Uh, my fault. I wrongly assumed that normal hybrid mode also ignores the org indent without varifying. Normal mode works fine.

That's why linewise_hybrid_mode is disabled by default. Figuring out what should be rendered on a set of lines is kinda hard since a lot of the elements have weird structure.

So currently linewise_hybrid_mode not renderring cursorline at all, is an approach for reducing complexity, right? That makes sense.

For further discussion on linewise_hybrid_mode:

This shows how render-markdown.nvim's renders curosrline, with org-mode indent enabled:

• fenced code block:
  
  still renders block background and indentation.
• bullet list
  
  still renders indentation. doesn't renders bullet mark.

Maybe this is a concept difference? That plugin has an anti-conceal concept:

Anti-conceal: hides virtual text added by this plugin on cursor line

My understanding on anti-conceal is this is a way to stop rendering those virtual text that obstacles editing real text. So that plugin just try to render all those not affecting text-edit, i.e. background, indentation.

What is your opinion on the concept of hybrid mode?

[OXY2DEV]

My understanding on anti-conceal is this is a way to stop rendering those virtual text that obstacles editing real text.

This wouldn't work here as there are things like tables, block quotes, list items etc. that use single extmarks for various things(signs, icons, padding/border etc.) and would require rewriting a fairly large chunk of the plugin.

I will still check if there is a way around.

You can add this in your config to have this behavior,

{
  experimental = {
    linewise_ignore_org_indent = true
  }
}
