- Simple plugin that centers the main buffer.
- Compatible with side buffer plugins (like neo-tree.nvim).
- Automatically toggles side buffers whenever a side buffer is opened/closed without flickering.
- Responsive during resizing.
- Supports tabs, horizontal and vertical splits.
- Layout and positioning options.
- Removes the need for a visual guide showing the maximum line width
(
ColorColumn). - Reduces neck strain and improves focus.
