🎭 Motivations

Although there's other (amazing!) alternatives that provide a zen-distraction-free-center mode, they usually make assumptions that might alter your workflow, or at least require some configuration to suit your needs.

no-neck-pain.nvim aims at providing a seamless non-opinionated buffer centering experience, while being super customizable.

About

☕ Dead simple yet super extensible plugin to center the currently focused buffer to the middle of the screen.
