ShayyVim

ShayyVim is designed to be perfect, minimal, functional, and aesthetic for my POV. It has a custom dashboard, fast LSP setup, treesitter, telescope, and a clean UI based on my personal preferences.

Features

• Discord Presence with cord.nvim
• Custom Alpha Dashboard with unique ASCII art
• Clean UI with icons, borders, and colors
• Blazing fast startup using lazy.nvim
• Built-in LSP with autocompletion ( rust, go, zig, c, c++, ts, etc. )
• Treesitter enhanced syntax
• Fuzzy searching with Telescope
• File explorer with Nvim-Tree or Oil.nvim
• Highly optimized defaults and keymaps
• Clean modular Lua structure for easy customization

Installation

Prerequisites

• Neovim 0.11++
• A Nerd Font (e.g., JetBrainsMono Nerd Font)

Install

git clone https://github.com/shayyz-code/shayyvim.git ~/.config/nvim

Open Neovim:

nvim

Lazy.nvim will automatically install all plugins.

Customize Dashboard (with alpha.nvim)

My setup includes a fully custom banner:

You may replace it with your own.

dashboard.section.header.val = {
  ... (your ASCII art)
}

Already prompted a custom highlight color:

vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "ShayyHeader", { fg = "#7dd3fc", bold = true })

This lets the dashboard stay consistent across colorscheme changes.

Mode	Key	Action
