Adding custom queries

[ranjithshegde]

Since setting conceal from treesitter has been merged in core, I have been trying to set my own queries for org bullets like this

(
((stars) @stars (#eq? @stars "*")) @_conceal
(#set! conceal "◉")
)
(
((stars) @stars (#eq? @stars "**")) @_conceal
(#set! conceal "○")
)
(
((stars) @stars (#eq? @stars "***")) @_conceal
(#set! conceal "✸")
)
(
((stars) @stars (#eq? @stars "****")) @_conceal
(#set! conceal "✿")
)

When I append the above snippet to packer/*/orgmode/queries/org/highlights.scm it works perfectly. However when I do it in my ~/.config/nvim/after/queries/org/highlights.scm it does not apply.
I have tested similar conceal in config path for markdown and it works.
Does orgmode override the queries?

Oh nice, i wasn't even aware of it. There are only some additional queries loaded for todo keywords, but stars shouldn't be overwritten. Does it happen if you try to override some "Normal" highlight?

[ranjithshegde]

I tried setting conceal via after/syntax/ directory like this

syntax match OrgHeadlineStar1 /^\*\ze\s/me=e-1 conceal cchar=◉ containedin=OrgHeadlineLevel1 contained

Same. It does not work

Do you have additional_vim_regex_highlighting = {'org'} in your treesitter config ?

[ranjithshegde]

Yes i do. is that an issue? Just tried with it off and on. Same!

EDIT: If you are on the latest nightly, would you mind trying to reproduce? using the highlights queries snippet from the first post?

[kristijanhusak]

No, you need to have that in order to get old Vim syntax working.
I'm assuming this is causing the issue. Could you try comment that out and see if it works then? I'm still not updated to the latest Neovim.

[ranjithshegde]

Indeed that works! I do lose todo highlights (of course!) but this works for now!

[kristijanhusak]

Cool. Open up an issue for this, and I'll see if there is a way to address it somehow. If not, I can add a hook function which can be triggered after todo highlights are set
