feat(conflict): add virtual text formatting and action lines (#101) 
## Problem

Conflict resolution virtual text only showed plain "current" /
"incoming"
labels with no keymap hints. Users had no way to discover available
resolution keymaps without reading docs.

## Solution

Default virtual text labels now include keymap hints: `(current — doo)`
and
`(incoming — dot)`. A new `format_virtual_text` config option lets users
customize or hide labels entirely. A new `show_actions` option (off by
default) renders a codelens-style action line above each `<<<<<<<`
marker
listing all enabled resolution keymaps. Merge diff views also gain hunk
hints on `@@` header lines showing available keymaps.

New config fields: `conflict.format_virtual_text` (function|nil),
`conflict.show_actions` (boolean). New highlight group:
`DiffsConflictActions`.

Syntax highlighting for diffs in Neovim

Enhance vim-fugitive and Neovim's built-in diff mode with language-aware syntax highlighting.

diffs.nvim preview

Features

  • Treesitter syntax highlighting in fugitive diffs and commit views
  • Character-level intra-line diff highlighting
  • :Gdiff unified diff against any revision
  • Background-only diff colors for &diff buffers
  • Inline merge conflict detection, highlighting, and resolution
  • Vim syntax fallback, context padding, configurable blend/debounce

Requirements

  • Neovim 0.9.0+

Installation

Install with your package manager of choice or via luarocks:

luarocks install diffs.nvim

Documentation

:help diffs.nvim

Known Limitations

  • Incomplete syntax context: Treesitter parses each diff hunk in isolation. To improve accuracy, diffs.nvim reads lines from disk before and after each hunk for parsing context (highlights.context, enabled by default with 25 lines). This resolves most boundary issues. Set highlights.context.enabled = false to disable.

  • Syntax flashing: diffs.nvim hooks into the FileType fugitive event triggered by vim-fugitive, at which point the buffer is preliminarily painted. The buffer is then re-painted after debounce_ms milliseconds, causing an unavoidable visual "flash" even when debounce_ms = 0.

  • Conflicting diff plugins: diffs.nvim may not interact well with other plugins that modify diff highlighting. Known plugins that may conflict:

    • diffview.nvim - provides its own diff highlighting and conflict resolution UI
    • mini.diff - visualizes buffer differences with its own highlighting system
    • gitsigns.nvim - generally compatible, but both plugins modifying line highlights may produce unexpected results
    • git-conflict.nvim - diffs.nvim now includes built-in conflict resolution; disable one or the other to avoid overlap
