An attempt to make neovim (cli version) as functional as an IDE while being very eyecandy.

This tiny plugin adds vscode-like pictograms to neovim built-in lsp completion items :

fast file tree :

A fuzzy file finder, picker, sorter, previewer and much more:

adds indentline :

using indenLine plugin on left and blanklineNvim on right

fastest statusline plugin I've used so far:

Shows git signs of a repo on the signcolumn to indicate diffs/changes etc (needs plenary.nvim)

As a top bufferline like thing which lets me handle tabs like switching, closing tabs.

Lua fork of vim devicons which lets me change icons of filetypes

Better syntax highlighting for programming languages ( my config just has html,css,js support for now ).

without / with Treesitter :

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)

     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".

• 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)

• 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/bin 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{}  ``

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.

• 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)

• Make the statusline more elegant.
• Add more themes.
