Hello, Neovim users!

Please join me in welcoming 2024 with announce of mini.notify - new module of mini.nvim with functionality to show one or more highlighted notifications in a floating window. It can also be installed using separate GitHub repository.

I personally didn’t use fancy notifications before ‘mini.notify’ but it was on my TODO list. Recently it occurred to me that a demo of at least one upcoming module will look more interesting if several notifications can be shown at once. Thus I decided to move this new functionality up in list and here we are.

Features:

Show one or more highlighted notifications in a single floating window.
Manage notifications (add, update, remove, clear).
vim.notify() wrapper generator (see MiniNotify.make_notify()).
Automated show of LSP progress report.
Track history which can be accessed with MiniNotify.get_all() and shown with MiniNotify.show_history().

For full documentation see help file.

Please, check it out and tell me what you think! You can leave your suggestions either here in comments or in dedicated beta-testing issue.

Thanks!
