Fidget.nvim is a Neovim plugin that provides an extensible, unobtrusive UI for displaying notifications and LSP progress messages in a corner window. It supports configurable vim.notify backends, ASCII spinner animations, and manages its own window lifetime.

Use cases

• show LSP progress messages in Neovim
• replace vim.notify with a nicer notification UI
• display spinner animations while rust-analyzer indexes
• manage unobtrusive floating notification windows in Neovim
• customize notification appearance and animations in the editor

When to choose

• you use Neovim and want better visibility into LSP progress
• you want a configurable, extensible vim.notify backend
• you want lightweight eye-candy status notifications without leaving the editor

When to avoid

• you don't use Neovim
• you need a full notification system outside the editor
• you're on an older Neovim version below the required minimum
