Vimacs

A Neovim Configuration. Inspired by JetBrains, Emacs, VS Code. Built on top of NvChad's UI.

Preface

This Neovim Distribution is heavily focused on performance, feature and beauty.

Vimacs is Beautiful

Vimacs uses a base configuration called NvChad which is beautiful out of the box.

Vimacs is Feature-rich

Vimacs comes with dozens of neovim plugins optimized for your daily use

Vimacs uses external programse to enhance it's functionality. (e.g) Vimacs has an optional mail client based on neomutt

The following image shows the which-key.nvim help for <leader> (aka space) key

<!-- deno-fmt-ignore -->

[!NOTE] Green text means the top of the keymapping tree (e.g <leader>a includes everything related to AI, <leader>ai opens the Cody AI assistant in a vertical split) Red text means the direct cmd (e.g <leader>. opens the file manager)

Vimacs is Performant?

Because of the extensive ecosystem of Vimacs, Performance optimizations are crucial.

With the power of lazy loading (~%97.5), you only pay for what you use (lazy.nvim)

<!-- Vimacs You only pay for what you use thanks to lazy loading (**~%97.5**) -->

In addition to that, external programs use the system shell as an interface which doesn't reduce performance.

Prerequisites

Vimacs requires Neovim Nightly for all the features to work properly. Although It's possible to use Vimacs with stable neovim, It's not recommended.

Also vimacs comes with a lot of dependencies. Follow the instructions on this page to install them.

<!-- deno-fmt-ignore -->

[!NOTE] Some of the vimacs features will require additional setup. (e.g AI Assistant, Project Surfing etc.) And some of the advanced features will require additional installation (SEE for more info)
