# TODO

It would be nice if NvChad focuses on existing plugins and config before adding new things , some plugins like whichkey , telescope , treesitter still have basic configs! Also adding new features that'd make NvChad slow or its startuptime slow wouldnt be encouraged , if that feature's really needed then It'll be mentioned in the wiki with its config.

- Debloat the config
- Add more themes.
- Add a theme switcher.
- Add a global configuration so it doesnt get hard to update :c 

# Contibute 

- PR's are always welcomed however NvChad aims to be less bloated and suckless. So PR's regarding existing plugin's enhancement , bug fixes are more encouraged. 
- PR's regarding adding new plugins and their configs must be given some thought since NvChad aims to have a minimal config and meant to be used as a "base" neovim config so it will have only a set of important plugins. So adding more and more plugins, making NvChad bloated + slow wont help!.
- NvChad isnt a Framework. NvChad wont keep adding more and more features ( adding new plugins most likely)  as requested , no spoonfeeding!! If you think the plugin you want to be added is very useful and many NvChaders would find it useful, then such feature's PR is welcomed!
- But adding specific features like adding config for https://github.com/wakatime/vim-wakatime etc will be added in this (section)[https://github.com/siduck76/NvChad/wiki/Chad-user-configs]. This lets the user select the things only they want ( from extra configs ) .
