How to set indentscope hl_group? about mini.nvim HOT 8 CLOSED

vim.cmd "hi! link MiniIndentscopeSymbol Whitespace"

This looks about right. I'd guess that you have color scheme overriding it later. There are at least two possible solutions:

• Make sure that color scheme is loaded first. I.e. the :colorscheme <name> command is executed prior to that vim.cmd call.
• A more idiomatic approach is to also create an autocommand that will ensure proper MiniIndentscopeSymbol. So add something like this after vim.cmd "hi! ...:

vim.cmd('au Colorscheme * hi! link MiniIndentscopeSymbol Whitespace')

Thank for taking time and looking at source code! You stopped one step too early, though :) vim.api.nvim_buf_set_extmakr() also allows hl_group in virt_text to set different highlight groups for different parts of text. That is what 'mini.indentscope' is doing via its own two dedicated highlight groups for symbol and what comes before it (prefix):

The preferred way of managing highlight groups is do redefine you the way you like. Here is a list of highlight groups of 'mini.indentscope'. So in your case putting the vim.cmd('hi! link MiniIndentscopeSymbol Whitespace') somewhere in the 'init.lua' should solve the issue.

Came here looking for the correct way to set the indentscope character color. Is this something you would consider adding to the docs? From what I can gather, it should be possible to do something like this in my theme config:

MiniIndentscopeSymbol = { fg = theme.waveBlue2 },

?

That has already been answered in previous comment.

Place vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'MiniIndentscopeSymbol', { fg = theme.waveBlue2 }) somewhere in your setup.

Just chiming in to say that this should be part of the docs. Thanks!

It is already part of the docs.

hey @echasnovski, quick Q. Where are we supposed to place the highlight fn? Here's my setup (using lazy.nvim):

  {
    "echasnovski/mini.indentscope",
    lazy = false,
    config = function()
      require("mini.indentscope").setup {}
      vim.cmd "hi! link MiniIndentscopeSymbol Whitespace"
    end,
  }

But the symbol still has the default color. I also tried vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'MiniIndentscopeSymbol', { fg = '#333333' }) but still nothing.

It's worth mentioning that if I just run either of those in the cmdline, it does properly highlight the symbol.

The autocommand works fine 👍🏻 , I had it setup on CursorMoved, but your solution makes more sense 😅. I still don't know why the colorscheme is overriding it, but I'm happy with this solution. Thanks @echasnovski !
