Raw Blame History

The config is complete but still work in progress as I am new to lua and slowly learning vim stuffs. I'll keep adding new features like snippets etc and clean the config , make neovim (cli version) as functional as an IDE while being eyecandy. Pull requests are welcome.

Screenshots -

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".

Features

File navigation with Nvimtree
mouse works
managing tabs with bufferline
autosave
icons on nvimtree , telescope , bufferline/statusline and almost everywhere! with nvim-web-devicons
minimal status line ( galaxyline)
gitsigns (colored bars in my config)
using nvim-lsp
nvim-lspconfig for nvim-lps configuration
nvim-compe for autocompletion
lspkind to show pictograms on autocompletion items
telescope for file finding , picking , previewing (files and even images)
nvim-treesitter for syntax highlighting
nvim-autopairs , for autolosing braces and stuffs
neoformat for prettifying / formatting code
packer.nvim as package manager
indent-blankline.Nvim for indentlines
smooth scrolling
Snip support from VSCode through vsnip supporting custom and predefined snips (friendly-snippets)

Guides to migrate your nvim configs to init.lua -

Clone my setup -

Install neovim-nightly , also use a nerdfont on your terminal.
Use these colors for your terminal , Its in xresources format so it'd would be easier to use a terminal that supports xresources like st , urxvt , xterm , My st build.
run the install.sh (this might work only on nix systems),this opens neovim (press enter or y to skip the errors , the errors will only show once).
Install ripgrep , fd , ueberzug for telescope media extension to work.
Manual installation , incase the install.sh doesnt work for you :
Install packer.nvim


git clone https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim\
 ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim

copy lua folder and init.lua into ~/.config/nvim
Open neovim and install all plugins , :PackerInstall (let treesitter install all its extensionsm
Install language servers and prettier ( for autocompletion etc and code formatting , nodejs should be installed too!) , this usually depends on the language support you want to add in your neovim config.

npm config set prefix=~/.node_modules
npm install -g vscode-html-languageserver-bin typescript typescript-language-server  vscode-css-languageserver-bin prettier

(ADD ~/.node_modules at your PATH)

To setup any language server , follow this guide https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/CONFIG.md and search up the needed LSP. For example if I needed clangd's lsp server :

I'd install it first and add its setup line : `` -- in /lua/nvim-lspconfig/lua.lua file

   require'lspconfig'.clangd.setup{}  ``

Default Mappings

space is the leader key.

Opening terminals!
Ctrl l Open terminal vertically over right
Ctrl x Open terminal horizontally below the current window
File tree (nvim-tree)
Ctrl n toggle neovim tree
Shift h show hidden files (use these keybinds when cursor's in the filetree, same for the keybinds below).
Ctrl + v open files in vertical split
Ctrl + x open files in horizontal split
Toggling stuffs
leader + n toggle line number
leader + z toggle truezen.nvim's Ataraxis mode
leader + m toggle truezen.nvim's minimalistic mode
Copy text
Ctrl a copies everything in the current file
select any text + y copies the selected text
Telescope
leader + f b open all buffers
leader + f f find files in the current DIR
leader + f o open recently edited files
leader + f h opens up a help page like thing
Ctrl + v open files in vertical split
Ctrl + x open files in horizontal split
Formatting code
leader + f m formats or beautifies the code in current window via neoformat (currently only html ,css , js can be formatted . To be able to use this keybind you need to install the formatter locally for your language , in my case prettier was required only so I installed it. check (this)[https://github.com/sbdchd/neoformat].
Neoscroll
<C-u>, <C-d>, <C-b>, <C-f>, <C-y> and <C-e> : Smooth scrolling for window movement commands.
Managing tabs with bufferline!
TAB or Shift TAB cycle through opened tabs
Shift x close current tab
Shift t open new tab

Nvim-lspconfig (major ones)

K hover and show the definition
gd jumps to the definition (works for user and language definitions)
[d jumps to the previous error
]d jumps to the next error
leader D jumps to the definition
leader w + q list all the errors in a new buffer
leader r + n rename all instances of this definition (user functions and declaration)

TODO

Make the statusline more elegant.
Add more themes.
