Disable plugins from the :Lazy screen

[m-fonseca]

I recently had a problem I was trying to debug, and wanted to start removing plugins to see which one was causing my problem. Perhaps theres an easy way to do this that I don't know of (and couldn't find), but an easy way to disable plugins from the :Lazy screen could be quite useful (especially if there are a lot of mods).

Its already designed to be able to individually install and update individual plugins, and it seems natural to also have a disable/enable individual plugin as well from the same place.

Just an idea anyway.

Just add enable=false to the plugins you want to disable. Not going to add anything else for this

[m-fonseca]

Yeah, thats what I had done, and it worked. It was just a little cumbersome when you have to disable a lot of them. Either way, thanks for the plugin work!

I append # to plugin_name.lua ,It become plugin_name.lua#.It can disable plugins

I created lazyflex.nvim. The plugin facilitates the enabling/disabling of multiple plugins using a few well-chosen keywords.

How does one add "enable=false"? it's not in the modal, and if not there, which file?

[dpetka2001]

It's mentioned in the Plugin spec. The key is enabled.

Really wish this was an option - you can do so much from the :Lazy screen...update, (delete!), inspect, even view a diff... a key for "toggle" or "enable" etc. would fit nicely.

Just an up-vote on this as a feature --- latest updates broke the editor --- and I just presumed I could disable from the Lazy screen since that's where I enabled them.

It is actually very easy, just move everything to a folder and that's it. lazy matches on the folder based on the first level, unless you explicitly included in your lazy init those in nested folders wouldn't be loaded at all.

E.g. If you setup to do this in your lazy

-- load plugins
require("lazy").setup({
  {
    "NvChad/NvChad",
    lazy = false,
    branch = "v2.5",
    import = "nvchad.plugins",
  },

  { import = "plugins" },
}, lazy_config)

You should have a folder called "plugins" under "lua"
You can separate each pluigin in a file, so your plugins folder look like this

/016   alpha.lua
/017   auto-session.lua
/014   init.lua
/015   lspconfig.lua
/013   oil.lua
/019   rooter.lua
/018   zellij-nav.lua

Then create a folder like "disabled" in the plugins folder, and move all the relevent plugins files you want to disable into that folder and that's it.
