Some cool options

[igorlfs]

Hello,

nvim-dap-view is highly customizable. If the defaults do not fit your taste, most likely you can tweak a few options to suit your workflow. This article describes some of these options, but I recommend reading the full documentation, with emphasis on the "recipe" articles, the list of configuration options and the FAQ.

Auto Toggle

Out of the box, nvim-dap-view isn't shown when starting a session. That's a deliberate choice and will not change. You can tweak this behavior by enabling auto_toggle. There are some additional variations which you can look up in the docs.

Follow Tab

Vim tabs do not behave like tabs in other programs. Often, users mix tabs with buffers. If you make heavy use of tabs (even if unknowingly), you can try enabling the follow_tab option. It makes nvim-dap-view "always show up for the current tab". If you like it but find it too aggressive, you can set it to a function, to choose which tabs to "ignore" (e.g., a tab with a single terminal buffer, etc.)

switchbuf

When jumping to a frame (or breakpoint), nvim-dap-view needs to decide which will window will be used for the jump. This can be tweaked with the switchbuf option, which (sort of) mirrors Neovim's built-in 'switchbuf' (see :help switchbuf for details). By default, it uses a "tab friendly" setup, but if you hate tabs with a passion, you can set it to "useopen,uselast". You can read more about switchbuf on the FAQ.

Dynamic Layout

You can define windows.size, windows.position, windows.terminal.size and windows.terminal.position all as functions! This enables switching the position (e.g., right vs bottom) of nvim-dap-view windows depending on the other windows from the current tab! An example setup is shown here.
