Init.nvim

Why?

Modern Vim distributions are really huge and bloated with way too many fancy features that you won't ever use or need, for example directory trees like Nerd tree, you don't need a tree, you can view a project structure with fzf which is faster and has search. Another example is ThinkVim has a separate extension for formatting while also having ALE which can do that as well, this double functionality is very common, thats one of the things this distro avoids, KISS!

Features

• Single file (you don't want your dotfiles to be all Vim script)
• Super minimal (~400 lines)
• Super fast startup (less than 40ms!)
• Lazy loading plugins
• Highly customizable
• Beautiful Material ocean color scheme
• Various IDE features via coc.nvim
• Smooth Scrolling (its really smooth!)
• Fully integrated with fzf (see demos)
• Live Markdown preview
• Simple, Intuitive shortcuts

Supported Languages

Neovim provides support for a wide range of languages by default. For more languages install vim-polyglot.

Requirements

• Linux (not tested on other platforms)
• Neovim (you can try regular Vim)
• Properly set up environment

Setup

To check if your current environment is correctly set up run :CheckHealth.

Environment

• python3: pip3 install --user pynvim
• javascript: yarn global add neovim

Tools

• Any patched nerd font
• tmux (not required but recommended)
• prettier
• clang (much better C and C++)
• fuzzy finder (fzf)
• ripgrep
• bat
• black for python formatting

Installation

After installing the requirements:

• git clone https://github.com/Blacksuan19/init.nvim ~/.config/nvim
• Start nvim and it will do the rest
• press enter if there are any errors (don't worry its fine)

Plugins

Thanks to vim-plug the plugins are lazy loaded (anything that is not needed for the current buffer is not loaded) for example opening a python file means all other non python related plugins are not loaded. Coc extensions are lazy loaded as well, they work the same way as vim-plug plugins.

Customizations

Since the file is pretty small its very easy to interpret by even those who don't have any knowledge about vim script, most of the sections have comments about their functionality, and can be removed, commented out or swapped easily, there are some defaults that are not everyone's cup of tea (after all this is highly opinionated).

• Disabling Plugins: comment out the plug's 'Plugin/name' line from config and also remove the plugin settings

• Disabling CoC Plugins: comment out the plugin from coc_global_extensions variable and uninstall it via :CocUninstall plugin name

• Installing CoC plugins: open :CocList and search for marketplace, you can find all available plugins here
