Mini.ai and Mini.clue integration

[DanWlker]

In light of this https://www.reddit.com/r/neovim/comments/1i6zu8i/miniclue/

Here's the hacking done, referring to lazyvim's implementation

local function ai_clue()
  local objects = {
    { ' ', desc = 'whitespace' },
    { '"', desc = '" string' },
    { "'", desc = "' string" },
    { '(', desc = '() block' },
    { ')', desc = '() block with ws' },
    { '<', desc = '<> block' },
    { '>', desc = '<> block with ws' },
    { '?', desc = 'user prompt' },
    { 'U', desc = 'use/call without dot' },
    { '[', desc = '[] block' },
    { ']', desc = '[] block with ws' },
    { '_', desc = 'underscore' },
    { '`', desc = '` string' },
    { 'a', desc = 'argument' },
    { 'b', desc = ')]} block' },
    { 'c', desc = 'class' },
    { 'd', desc = 'digit(s)' },
    { 'e', desc = 'CamelCase / snake_case' },
    { 'f', desc = 'function' },
    { 'g', desc = 'entire file' },
    { 'o', desc = 'block, conditional, loop' },
    { 'q', desc = 'quote `"\'' },
    { 't', desc = 'tag' },
    { 'l', desc = 'line' },
    { 'u', desc = 'use/call' },
    { '{', desc = '{} block' },
    { '}', desc = '{} with ws' },
  }

  local modes = { 'x', 'o' }
  local ret = {}
  ---@type table<string, string>
  local mappings = {
    around = 'a',
    inside = 'i',
    -- around_next = 'an',
    -- inside_next = 'in',
    -- around_last = 'al',
    -- inside_last = 'il',
  }

  -- print(vim.inspect(mappings))

  for _, prefix in pairs(mappings) do
    if prefix == '' then goto continue end
    for _, mode in ipairs(modes) do
      for _, obj in ipairs(objects) do
        local desc = obj.desc
        if prefix:sub(1, 1) == 'i' then desc = desc:gsub(' with ws', '') end
        ret[#ret + 1] = { mode = mode, keys = prefix .. obj[1], desc = desc }
      end
    end
    ::continue::
  end

  return ret
end

in your setup() call

    miniclue.setup({
      clues = {
        ai_clue(),
      },
      triggers = {
         -- ... other triggers
        { mode = 'x', keys = 'a' },
        { mode = 'o', keys = 'a' },
        { mode = 'x', keys = 'i' },
        { mode = 'o', keys = 'i' },
      },
    })

Hope it helps

Thanks for sharing!

There are couple of problems with integrating 'mini.ai' and 'mini.clue':

• There can be custom textobjects in 'mini.ai'. And not only global, but buffer-local also. Ideally, 'mini.clue' should account for that.
• And this caveat.

yeah, this is more of a hardcoded half solution tbh. I switched from which-key because of the submode_resize and needed something comparable.
