🛸 nvim

This is the neovim configuration I use both personally 🏠 and professionally 💼

🚧 Dependencies

Make sure you have installed the following:

• git
• ripgrep (for Telescope file/text search)
• NerdFont (for icons)

Optionally, you can install LSPs:

• bash-language-server
• pyright
• lua-language-server

And autoformatters (system-wide):

• stylua
• ruff and isort
• shellcheck

🔦 Highlights

🦥 Plugin Manager

I use lazy.nvim as plugin manager. If you cloned this repository and want to use this configuration yourself, run :checkhealth lazy first. Then, run :Lazy to install plugins.

😎 Interesting Key Bindings

• <Space> (or <Enter>) is the leader key - optimized for both regular keyboards and ergonomic layouts with thumb clusters
• <Space>; opens command mode (:) - more comfortable than Shift+;
• <Space>g opens a popup window with recursive grep search in the current directory. Blazing fast ⚡ thanks to ripgrep
• <Space>f does the same but with file names using Telescope 🔥
• <Space>t opens a terminal in vertical split on the right already in insert mode. Ready to type commands 👨‍💻
• <Space>n opens neogit 🌳
• <Space>o opens file manager in a floating window 🛢️
• <C-s> shows git diff of the current line thanks to gitsigns
• <C-\> (un)comments either current line, or visually selected block of code 🔎
• m activates leap motion for quick navigation within visible text

📖 Status Line

Using lualine, I built a status line which also includes tabs, and shows some other goodies:

The colors are hardcoded to work independently of the colorscheme, and stay consistent with tmux look.

📋 List of Plugins

• cmp - autocompletion

💡 Non-standard features

• Dual leader key: Space for regular keyboards, Enter for ergonomic keyboards with thumb clusters
• Smooth animations: Smear cursor and neoscroll for better visual feedback
• Leader-based command mode: <Space>; instead of Shift+; for more comfortable command entry
