Differences with CodeSnap.nvim

Sorry, I was a bit busy, the main differences I think between CodeShot.nvim and CodeSnap.nvim are:

• Codeshot can take a snapshot using the theme you have configured in neovim (or use one that sss_code comes with by default) (image 0).
• There is a difference in highlighting concept, CodeShot has more of a Focus approach and CodeSnap has more of a line selection approach.
• Codeshot does not have a Breadcrumbs system because you could place it as a title in the windows bar (even use a custom function to generate a dynamic or smart title).
• A feature I'm working on is to render the identation, similar to ibl, so CodeShot will soon receive this feature. (Currently I have just integrated this feature into the PR [Code] Add indent and hidden characters render sss#49)
• Both can copy to the clipboard directly and in the case of CodeShot you can customize the command to execute.
• CodeShot has more flexibility in terms of backgrounds, you can have a solid color, a gradient (only 2 colors, for now) or an image (image 1).
• CodeShot allows you to have a code background as flexible as the background surrounding the code block (image 2).

I hope this has solved your doubt, if you find any other outstanding difference feel free to add it 😄

what about speed? like how much time does it take to generate the image? like codesnap requires a few seconds and it uses some skia engine to generate images, before 0.1 release they used some rust library to do that (it was slow)...

I have no idea about this and I would not like to do a benchmarking between the two as they are usually very variable and subjective.

Well, unlike CodeSnap, CodeShot (or sss_code for that matter), generates the image pixel by pixel using the image-rs crate, At the moment it doesn't even take me a second to generate an image, so I'd say it's Blazing Fast!!

Does it mean the code color in the screenshot is consistent with the code color displayed by nvim?

This is indeed the idea
