PackMan

A lightweight, highly customizable plugin manager UI built for Neovim's native vim.pack functionality. This tool provides a floating-window interface for viewing, updating, and managing plugins installed via standard packages.

📦 Installation

This plugin follows the standard Neovim directory structure. Installation is straightforward.

Using vim.pack.add()

vim.pack.add({ "https://github.com/onaforeignshore/PackMan.nvim" })
require("packman").setup()

⚙️ Usage

Open the UI: Execute the command:

:PackMan

Navigation: Use standard Neovim movement keys (j, k) or the custom jump keys below to navigate the list.

Keymaps (In the Floating Window):

Key	Action
q	Close the PackMan window (you can also use <Esc>)
C	Check for updated plugins
U	Update ALL active and inactive plugins (vim.pack.update())
u	Update the plugin under the cursor (vim.pack.update(plugin))
d	Delete the plugin under the cursor (vim.pack.del(plugin))
?	Toggle Help view
p	Move to the previous plugin entry (upward)
n	Move to the next plugin entry (downward)

🎨 Configuration

You can customize the appearance by passing an options table to the setup() function.

Default Options (Overridable)

require("packman").setup({
    ui = {
        border = "single", -- "single", "double", "rounded", "none", etc.
    }
})
