Headers

Native generator

dogshitnorm can insert the standard 80-column 42 header for:

• .c
• .h
• .cpp
• .hpp
• Makefile

It no longer needs 42Paris/42header for this workflow.

Commands

• :Stdheader inserts or refreshes the header in the current buffer
• :StdheaderAll [path] inserts or refreshes headers recursively for supported files under a project tree
• :HeaderToggle toggles the visual styling layer
• :HeaderHide [toggle|on|off] folds the real header out of the active window while keeping it in the file
• :Protoheader inserts the selected or current .c function prototype into the resolved header file

Save-time update

With update_42_header = true, saving a buffer updates the Updated: line while preserving the original Created: timestamp.

Visual styling

The visual styling from fancy-header.nvim is merged into dogshitnorm. Configure it with:

• header_style_enabled
• header_style_keybinding
• header_colors

Example:

header_colors = {
  box = { fg = "#6e6a86" },
  filename = { fg = "#f6c177", bold = true },
  author = { fg = "#9ccfd8" },
  date = { fg = "#c4a7e7" },
  logo_42 = { start = "#eb6f92", end_ = "#31748f" },
}

Hidden view and line numbers

Use these options if you want the header to stay in the file for norminette, but not get in your way while editing:

header_hide_enabled = true,
header_hide_keybinding = "<leader>4H",
prototype_header_keybinding = "<leader>cp",
header_line_number_offset = true,

With header_hide_enabled = true, the header is folded out of the current window and buffer-local gg jumps to the first non-header line. With header_line_number_offset = true, gutter numbers start at 1 on the first non-header line instead of counting the 42 header.
