My nvim-lua setup

What's in this repo?

My personal neovim lua config (requires neovim >= 0.7)

• 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

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

Basics

• 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

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

• nvim-lsp-installer: automatic installation of LSP servers using the :LspInstall command

• null-ls.nvim: a lua in-memory pseudo LSP server providing custom functionalities via the Neovim LSP API, provides spelling word completion and lua code formatting using stylua

• 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

• nvim-bqf: better quickfix and location list, provides quickfix previews, history and fuzzy search, great companion for both telescope and fzf after sending search results to a list

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)

• oscyank: copy text over ssh terminals using OSC52

• nvim-reload: properly reload your nvim configuration and lua modules with <space>R

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

Appearence

• express_line: TJ's status line plugin, customized and highlighted by me and, LSP/diag patched to work on any neovim >= 0.5

• nvcode-color-schemes: a collection of treesitter compatible color schemes

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