Small.nvim

This is a collection of small plugins that I created just because.

I don't plan on doing good maintenance, so I might change things without warning.

Some of the plugins are a complete hack while others are top quality

The documentation is not up to date.

Optional dependencies:

• nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim: many plugins use a selector
• rcarriga/nvim-notify or something similar: many plugins use vim.notify

Beacon
