My nvim-lua setup

What's in this repo?

My personal neovim lua config (requires neovim >= 0.8)

• Minimum changes to default key mapping
• A good selection of carefully hand-picked plugins
• Lazy load plugins where possible
• Which-key to rule them all
• Misc utilities and goodies

Plugins & Packages

• lazy.nvim: lua plugin manager to auto-install and update our plugins

• mason.nvim: automatic installation of LSP servers using the :Mason command

Basics

• smartyank.nvim: only pollute the clipboard when you really mean it!

• mini.surround: adds the missing operators (ds, cs, ys) for dealing with pairs of "surroundings" (quotes, tags, etc)

Git

• vim-fugitive: git porcelain and plumbing in one by tpope, the Swiss army knife of git

• gitsigns: git gutter indicators and hunk management

• diffview.nvim: powerful git diff/merge tool (<leader>gd|yd to invoke for project|dotfiles)

Coding, completion & LSP

• Comment.nvim: use gc and gcc to comment visual-blocks and lines

• mini.indentscope: add indentation markers based on tabstop | shiftwidth

• nvim-cmp: autocompletion framework

• treesitter: text parsing library, provides better syntax highlighting and text-objects for different coding languages (e.g. yaf yank-a-function), see treesitter.lua for defined text objects

• lspconfig: configuration quickstart for nvim's built in LSP

• conform.nvim: formatter plugin where LSP formatting isn't what you need, format js|json|html with prettier or lua with stylua using the gQ mapping.

• nvim-dap: set breakpoints and debug applications using Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP)

• fidget.nvim: Eye candy LSP progress indicator above the status line (top right)

Fuzzy search & file exploration

• fzf-lua: the original, tried and tested fuzzy finder, lua plugin that does pretty much everything, written by yours truly

• telescope.nvim: fuzzy search framework for searching project files, buffers, ripgrep and much more

• nvim-tree: file-explorer tree

Misc

• which-key: a must plugin in every setup, when leader key (and some built-ins) sequence is pressed and times out which-key will generate a help window with your keybinds and also let you continue the sequence at your own pace

• toggleterm.nvim: better term and REPLs (use gx and gxx to send REPLs to an interpreter)

• previm: live preview markdown files in the browser with <space>r

• render-markdown.nvim: magical plugin rendering markdown files inside neovim

Appearence

• heirline.nvim: DIY status line plugin, semi-minimalistic setup.

• nvim-colorizer.lua: color code highlighter, use ColorizerAttachToBuffer to provide a live preview of color codes in your buffer (e.g. #d4bfff)
