ppebboard

Small lua plugin to create a dashboard on launch. Clone of dashboard-nvim, because it broke my config one too many times...

Setup/Configuration

Installation with packer -

use({
    "pollen00/ppebboard",
    config = function() require("ppebboard").setup(your_config) end,
})

Configuration is straightforward, with the available options being -

require("ppebboard").setup({
    header = {
        lines = {
            [[ ____             _     _                         _ ]],
            [[|  _ \ _ __   ___| |__ | |__   ___   __ _ _ __ __| |]],
            [[| |_) | '_ \ / _ \ '_ \| '_ \ / _ \ / _` | '__/ _` |]],
            [[|  __/| |_) |  __/ |_) | |_) | (_) | (_| | | | (_| |]],
            [[|_|   | .__/ \___|_.__/|_.__/ \___/ \__,_|_|  \__,_|]],
            [[      |_|]],
        },
        highlight = "PpebboardHeader", -- Optional highlight group to apply to the header. Can be set to DashboardHeader if your colorscheme supports dashboard-nvim
    },
    center = {
        items = {
            {
                icon = "  ",
                text = "Recently opened files                 ", -- Can have an item containing only text, in the event you want no icon, shortcut, or action
                shortcut = "f h", -- Will be used for the actual hotkey, with the spaces removed
                action = "Telescope oldfiles", -- Can be a vim command, in which case the string will be wrapped with : and <CR>, or a lua function
                icon_highlight = "PpebboardIcon", -- Highlights can be set per item. All optional
                text_highlight = "PpebboardText",
                shortcut_highlight = "PpebboardShortcut",
            },
            -- Add as many as you want
        },
        icon_highlight = "PpebboardIcon", -- These options will highlight every item, unless set inside of the item. All optional
        text_highlight = "PpebboardText", -- Can be set to DashboardCenter if your colorscheme supports dashboard-nvim
        shortcut_highlight = "PpebboardShortcut", -- Can be set to DashboardShortCut if your colorscheme supports dashboard-nvim
        spacing = true, -- Should each item have an empty line between them
    },
    footer = {
        lines = {
            "",
            "",
            "Neovim loaded " .. #vim.tbl.keys(packer_plugins) .. " plugins" -- Plugin count example for packer
        },
        highlight = "PpebbaordFooter" -- Optional highlight group to apply to the footer. Can be set to Dashboardfooter if your colorscheme supports dashboard-nvim
    },
})

For examples of possible center items, see my config

If you use indent-blankline, add "ppebboard" to filetype_exclude in indent-blankline's setup. Example.
If you use vim-better-whitespace, add vim.g.better_whitespace_filetypes_blacklist = { "ppebboard" } to your init.lua.
