Personal nvim-config

This is my neovim config, stored here mainly so I can quickly copy it to a new computer, but feel free to see if you find something interesting.

Under here follows a list of some useful stuff that I now won't ever forget again!

List of dependencies

• codelldb: debugging C/C++/Rust code, found in most package managers, or with Mason. Important: edit path to executable in lua/plugins/adapters/lldb.lua
• silicon: pretty code screenshots, install with rust: cargo install silicon, with gruvbox added
• ripgrep (optional-recommended): for Telescope, installable with most package managers or cargo
• fd (optional-recommended): for Telescope, installable with most package managers or cargo, as fd or fd-find
• typst: markup language, mix between latex and markdown, install using your package manager
• pylatexenc (optional): for inline latex in Markdown, installed using pip
• shellcheck (optional): for bash scripts

Oh, and nvim is needed as well, version 0.10 I think (for some plugins).

Maybe others I didn't think off. I'll add them once I installed nvim on a new pc and saw that my config didn't work like it should.

Structure

This follows the Lazy directory structure. All plugins can be found under lua/plugins/. Each separate plugin has its own file, those who work closely together sit together in a file (f.e. completions).

All plugin-specific keybinds are specified in the file that adds the plugin, and all are added using which-key, with <leader>x, with x the first letter of the action that it does (f.e. <leader>l for everything lsp related).

Other broader keybinds are specified in lua/keybinds.lua.

There are 3 other files under lua/ that aren't plugins:

• functions.lua: currently only has the Discord function, that works by selecting text in visual mode and calling :<,>Discord. The command will yank the selected text to your global clipboard, and surround it with Markdown-style codeblock, ready to paste in Discord (or any other app/site capable of rendering Markdown code blocks), with the language from the current file.
• folds.lua: I honestly don't really know how it works anymore, it just improves default folds a bit without a fold-specific plugin (uses Treesitter)
• autocommands.lua: my collection of autocommands:
  • One to turn off relative numbers where they are not needed (special buffers and in command-mode, or unfocused buffers)
  • One to remove all trailing whitespace on entering command-mode
  • Some settings for certain programming languages

Default settings

These are my highly opinionated vim-settings found in init.lua

• numbers and relative numbers on the side
• tabs stay as tabs and render as 4 spaces (why would you write a tab explicitly as 4 spaces and take away the freedom of others on how they want to render their tabs?)
• softwrap disabled, otherwise things get difficult to read. You should wrap yourself, and that's also why I use colorcolumn.
• scrolloff on 2
• signcolumn shows signs over the numbers, because I want as much horizontal space as I can get (mainly for split views)
• laststatus to 3 to only show 1 statusline, even on split windows, I think it looks a bit cleaner
• signcolumn on 80 to prevent me from writing lines that I cannot read anymore in split-screen
