A Neovim plugin that displays the enclosing code context (functions, classes, blocks) at the top of the window using Tree-sitter parsers. It is a lightweight alternative to context.vim supporting dozens of languages.

Use cases

• show current function context while scrolling in neovim
• sticky header showing class or function scope
• keep code context visible in long files
• treesitter-based context line in vim
• see which block I am inside while editing

When to choose

• you use Neovim >= 0.9 with Tree-sitter parsers installed
• you want a lightweight, actively maintained context display
• you work in deeply nested code and lose track of scope

When to avoid

• you use Vim or Neovim older than 0.9 without the compat tag
• your language's parser is unsupported or community-maintained and unstable
• you prefer full-file minimaps or other navigation aids
