neovim-config/README.md

An attempt to make neovim (cli version) as functional as an IDE while being very eyecandy.

Very Useful lua plugins 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:

---

indent-blankline.nvim -

adds indentline :

using indenLine plugin on left and blanklineNvim on right

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 ).

without / with Treesitter :

nvim-base16 -

contains a collection of all base16 themes for vim , plugin written in lua (comparison of base16-vim and nvim-base16):

nvim-base16 doesnt even take time to load unlike base16-vim which was eating half of the loadup time! ( the below screenshot was taken and tested on my old pentium laptop , so results might differ)

(neovim loads pretty fast on ssds)

Config structure

     nvim
      ├──init.lua
      └──lua
          └──anything.lua

• The init.lua is used instead of init.vim.
• The lua folder contains modules ( config files ) , in the example above anything.lua file in lua folder could be considered as a module.
• The anything.lua file is supposed to have any neovim config written in lua , its like splitting the overall config into small bits and make it more organized , like one module for highlights and colors , another one for statusline and so on!.
• To load or source that "anything" module (like making it load with init.lua ) ,add this is in init.lua : require "anything".
