      quote_chars = { "'", '"', "`" },
      jump_behavior = "auto"
    })
  end,
}

Using packer.nvim

Manual Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-username/jquote.nvim.git ~/.config/nvim/lua/jquote

# Or use the Makefile
make install

⚙️ Configuration

Default Configuration

require("jquote").setup({
  hotkey = "<leader>tq",              -- Key binding for quote toggle
  quote_chars = { "'", '"', "`" },    -- Quote characters to cycle through
  jump_behavior = "auto"              -- "auto" or "manual" jump behavior
})

Configuration Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
hotkey	string	"<leader>tq"	Key mapping for toggling quotes
quote_chars	table	{ "'", '"', "" }`	List of quote characters to cycle through
jump_behavior	string	"auto"	Jump behavior when cursor is not in quotes ("auto" or "manual")

Custom Configuration Examples

-- Minimal setup with custom hotkey
require("jquote").setup({
  hotkey = "<leader>q"
})

-- Custom quote characters
require("jquote").setup({
  quote_chars = { "'", '"' }  -- Only single and double quotes
})

-- Manual jump behavior
require("jquote").setup({
  jump_behavior = "manual"  -- Don't auto-jump, only toggle quotes at cursor
})

-- Full customization
require("jquote").setup({
  hotkey = "<C-q>",
  quote_chars = { "'", '"', "`", "«", "»" },  -- Including Unicode quotes
  jump_behavior = "auto"
})

🚀 Usage

Basic Usage

1. Toggle Quotes: Place your cursor inside or on a quoted string and press <leader>tq (or your configured hotkey)
2. Auto Jump: When cursor is not inside quotes, the plugin automatically jumps to the next quote pair forward

Examples

-- Before: cursor anywhere in 'hello world'
'hello world'

-- After pressing <leader>tq
"hello world"

-- After pressing <leader>tq again
`hello world`

-- After pressing <leader>tq again (cycles back)
'hello world'

Auto Jump Feature

-- Before: cursor at beginning of line
hello 'world' and "test"
^

-- After pressing <leader>tq (auto-jumps to first quote)
hello 'world' and "test"
      ^
-- And toggles the quotes
hello "world" and "test"

Multiple Quote Pairs

-- Works with multiple quote pairs on the same line
print('Hello', "World", `Template`)

-- Handles nested quotes intelligently
outer "inner 'nested' text" end

🔧 Commands and Functions

Available Functions

local jquote = require("jquote")

-- Setup the plugin
jquote.setup(options)

-- Toggle quotes at cursor position
jquote.toggle_quotes()

-- Get current plugin version
local version = jquote.get_version()

-- Get plugin health information
local health = jquote.health()

Health Check

Check plugin status and configuration:

:lua print(vim.inspect(require("jquote").health()))

Output example:

{
  hotkey_configured = true,
  jump_behavior_valid = true,
  options = { ... },
  plugin_version = "1.2.0",
  quote_chars_count = 3
}
