my neovim configs

The config is complete but still work in progress as I am new to lua and slowly learning vim stuffs. I'll keep adding new features like snippets etc and clean the config , make neovim (cli version) as functional as an IDE while being eyecandy.

Very Useful lua plugins to used in my config -

lspkind-nvim

This tiny plugin adds vscode-like pictograms to neovim built-in lsp completion items :

nvim-tree.lua

fast file tree :

telescope-nvim -

A fuzzy file finder, picker, sorter, previewer and much more:

galaxyline -

fastest statusline plugin I've used so far:

gitsigns.nvim -

Shows git signs of a repo on the signcolumn to indicate diffs/changes etc (needs plenary.nvim)

nvim-bufferline.lua -

As a top bufferline like thing which lets me handle tabs like switching, closing tabs.

nvim-web-devicons -

Lua fork of vim devicons which lets me change icons of filetypes

nvim-treesitter

Better syntax highlighting for programming languages ( my config just has html,css,js support for now ).

Guides to migrate to init.lua -

• https://github.com/nanotee/nvim-lua-guide

• https://alpha2phi.medium.com/neovim-init-lua-e80f4f136030

• https://oroques.dev/notes/neovim-init/

• https://icyphox.sh/blog/nvim-lua/

Clone my setup -

• Install neovim-nightly , also use a nerdfont on your terminal.
• Install packer.nvim

git clone https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim\
 ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim

• copy all config files in from this repo except ( plugin folder as it has config related to my system's username! )
• Open neovim and install all plugins , :PackerInstall and :TSUpdate
• Install language servers and prettier ( for autocompletion etc and code formatting , nodejs should be installed too!)

sudo npm install -g vscode-html-languageserver-bin typescript typescript-language-server  vscode-css-languageserver-bin prettier

To setup any language server , follow this guide https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/CONFIG.md and search up the needed LSP. For example if I needed clangd's lsp server :

I'd install it first and add its setup line : `` -- in /lua/nvim-lspconfig/lua.lua file

   require'lspconfig'.clangd.setup{}  `` 

Default Mappings to make stuffs easier!

space is the leader key

• Ctrl b Open terminal vertically over right
• Ctrl x Open terminal horizontally below the current window
• Ctrl b toggle neovim tree
• Ctrl a copies everything in the current file
• select any text + y copies the selected text
• leader + f b open all buffers , with telescope
• leader + f p search and preview images with telescope
• leader + f f find files in the current DIR , with telescope
• leader + f o open recently edited files , with telescope
• leader + f f find files in the current DIR , with telescope
• leader + f h opens up a manpage like thing but for all vim related things , with telescope
• leader + f m formats or beautifies the code in current window via neoformat (currently only html ,css , js can be formatted . To be able to use this keybind you need to install the formatter locally for your language , in my case prettier was required only so I installed it. check this https://github.com/sbdchd/neoformat)

Troubleshooting -

if you get any errors with packer.nvim , then remove the ~/.config/nvim/plugin/packer_nvim.vim file since it just has file paths for my system and re-install packer.nvim
