feature: Provide indication in :Lazy modal that shows when local plugins are used vs not

[Drew-Daniels]

Did you check the docs?

• I have read all the lazy.nvim docs

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Thanks for making this plugin! lazy.nvim has been incredibly easy to use and massively helpful in my development workflow.

Feature Request

It seems like when you run :Lazy there are different colors that are supposed to indicate whether or not you are using a plugin locally or one downloaded from a remote source like GitHub. In my case, downloaded plugins have an orange circle and local ones have a pink circle.

I think this is helpful, but I've noticed a couple issues with this:

1. It looks like the "local" color is just based on whether or not you have configured a plugin with the dir property set

• I.e., it doesn't matter if the dir points to a non-existent folder on your filesystem

2. This doesn't tell users if the local or remote version of this plugin is actually being used

• I have forks of many plugins, where I just leave the dir property set in my plugin configuration, but comment out the dev = true property, so I can use the remote version in most cases, but use my local version when I need to debug something (by uncommenting the dev = true line.

I would expect that the circle would be colored orange in this case, because I'm using the remote version of the plugin, but it still remains the "local" color, which I feel like it gives users the wrong idea that a local plugin is being used when it may not be.

Describe the solution you'd like

I think it would make more sense for:

• The "local" (pink) color to be used when all of the following conditions are true:
  • You have configured the dir property of a plugin configuration
  • This dir property points to an existent folder
  • The dev property of a plugin configuration is set to true
• The "remote" (orange) color to be used when one of the above is false

Describe alternatives you've considered

N/A

Additional context

The screenshot below shoes that the codeium.vim entry has a pink circle next to it, when I think it should be orange to indicate that this local plugin is not being used (in this case, because I have dev = false for this plugin)

local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  vim.fn.system({
    "git",
    "clone",
    "--filter=blob:none",
    "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git",
    "--branch=stable", -- latest stable release
    lazypath,
  })
end
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)

return require("lazy").setup({
  -- ...
  {
    "Exafunction/codeium.vim",
    event = "BufEnter",
    dir = "~/projects/codeium.vim",
    -- dev = true,
  },
  -- ...
})
