## What it is
mini.nvim is a library of 45+ independent Lua modules for Neovim (0.10+) covering common editing tasks like textobjects, commenting, completion, alignment, and key mappings. Modules share a consistent design and can be used individually or together as an all-in-one plugin.

## Use cases
- improve my neovim editing experience with one plugin
- extend and create a/i textobjects in neovim
- add LSP-aware autocompletion to neovim
- interactively align text in vim
- smart tab and enter key mappings in insert mode
- move and exchange text regions with operators
- replace multiple single-purpose neovim plugins with one collection

## When to choose
- you use Neovim 0.10+ and want consistent, minimal, well-documented modules
- you want to adopt editor features incrementally, one module at a time
- you prefer Lua-based plugins with shared configuration principles

## When to avoid
- you use Vim or Neovim older than 0.10
- you need a single highly specialized plugin with more depth than mini's focused modules
- you want a preconfigured distribution rather than building your own config

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, editor, ui-components, search-engine, testing, documentation
- domain: text-editors, developer-tools
- platform: windows, editor-plugin, lua
- tags: neovim, lua, editor-plugin, textobjects, swiss-army-knife, modular, color-schemes, statusline, linux, macos
