Neovim Config

Simple but featured. Focused on ergonomics, mnemonics and consistency.

Cherry pick the lines you need and totally understand.

Always a WIP 🏗️

✨ Features

I'm a minimalist, adhering to the KISS principle and embracing the philosophy of "do one thing and do it better". I only install the plugins that are absolutely essential, avoiding all-in-one solutions. I favor plugins that enhance Vim’s native functionality while steering clear of those that alter its original behavior. For features that are straightforward to implement, I prefer to create them myself, maximizing reliability and control.

Functionalities I implemented:

• Comprehensive and aesthetic statusline: Statusline
• Concise LSP progress message in bottom right: LSP progress
• Lightbulb with VSCode-style: Lightbulb
• Minimalist indent guide built on listchars: Indent guide
• Neat indent scope display with support for motions and text objects: Indent scope
• Appealing winbar showing file path, diagnostics and breadcrumbss: Winbar
• Elegant tabline: Tabline
• Simple yet efficient statuscolumn: Statuscolumn
• Clean and visually pleasing quickfix window: Quickfix window
• Comprehensive set of lightning-fast fuzzy finders built on fzf.vim: Fuzzy finders

Plugins essential to my setup:

• Minimal plugin manager minpac
• Nvim builtin LSP client configured by nvim-lspconfig
• Treesitter support nvim-treesitter
• Ultra-fast auto-completion backed by blink.cmp
• Fully Git integration with vim-fugitive, gitsigns.nvim, vim-flog, etc
• Consolidated code formatting via conform.nvim
• Snippet engine LuaSnip
• Undo history visualizer with undotree
• Improved code search via vim-grepper, vim-asterisk, etc
• Enhanced text objects with targets.vim, etc
• Symbol outline and tags with aerial.nvim and tagbar

🚀 Key mappings

I assign the key mappings rationally aiming to make them efficient and easy to remember.

• Multiple leader keys

  In addition to <Space> that is the general leader key, , serves as the leader key for git, while yo for toggling.

• Mnemonic

  Key bindings are organized using mnemonic prefixes like <Leader>b for buffer, <Leader>f for fuzzy finder, <Leader>w for window, and so forth.

• Consistent

  Similar functionalities have the same key binding throughout my dotfiles. For example, , and . for moving tabs in both kitty and Neovim.

🎪 Showcases

Fuzzy finders

I implemented a series of fuzzy finders based on fzf.vim instead of using ready-made fuzzy finder plugins because I find them bloated and slower in extreme environments. Additionally, I prefer full control and not having to worry about essential plugins becoming unmaintained.

Lightbulb

I use a lightning icon instead of a bulb.
