Is there really no plugin that provides this kind of feature?

I haven't found anything.

[mightyiam]

Nvim don't want it. Do you think there's a potential plugin here?

[jfly]

Sure! Either it's useful for people, or someone tells us about an existing plugin.

This piece of my config feels related:

snow/packages/neovim/git.nix

Lines 28 to 54 in 360f9ec

	{
	desc = "When creating a new file in a Nix Flake, create it with --intent-to-add";
	event = "BufWritePre";
	callback = mkRaw ''
	function(args)
	local file = args.file
	local function in_git_repo()
	local cp = vim.system({'git', 'rev-parse', '--is-inside-work-tree'}):wait()
	return cp.stdout == "true\n"
	end
	local is_new_file = vim.fn.filereadable(file) == 0
	if is_new_file and in_git_repo() then
	vim.fn.writefile({}, file)
	local cmd = {'git', 'add', '--intent-to-add', file}
	local cp = vim.system(cmd):wait()
	if cp.code ~= 0 then
	vim.notify("Failed to run: " .. table.concat(cmd, " "), vim.log.levels.ERROR)
	else
	vim.notify("Marked new file with git --intent-to-add", vim.log.levels.INFO)
	end
	end
	end
	'';
	}

. I could imagine a version of it that would be reasonable to put in the same plugin (perhaps a configurable "should I git add --intent-to-add this file" predicate)?

[mightyiam]

I imagine a 'better-gf.nvim' plugin, with scope limited to improving upon the default gf/gF action:

• better path resolution
  • (does LSP offer module resolution API?)
  • support omitted extensions
• open buffer and set path (I'm guessing that's a thing) if nonexistent
• open file explorer thingy when path to directory (or even language specific, such as default.nix.
