🔌 plugin-addict.nvim

Ever find yourself constantly adding new plugins to your config? Yeah, me too. That's why I made plugin-addict.nvim - a dead simple plugin that does one thing: makes adding new plugins to your config blazingly fast™, so you can spend even less time working and more time tweaking your config.

✨ Features

• Creates a new plugin config file with one command
• Automatically names and places it in your plugins directory
• Opens it for editing immediately
• That's it. That's the plugin.
