Simpleman’s Neovim Config

Hi. This is my config for Neovim.

Get Started

1. Clone the repo:

   Linux, etc.

   git clone https://github.com/majamin/neovim-config.git ~/.config/nvim

   Windows (PowerShell)

   git clone https://github.com/majamin/neovim-config.git $env:LOCALAPPDATA/nvim

2. Edit lua/user/opts.lua to specify LSPs, formatters, and other options.

3. Review :checkhealth

4. Optional: add plugins as separate (lazy-spec) files in the lua/plugins/ directory.

5. Restart neovim and enjoy!

Tips

• Browse all keymaps with :Telescope keymaps or :WhichKey

• Run :Copilot to turn on Github copilot

Features

• No UI affects, loading screens, etc. to get in the way

• backspace acts in the original way (vi behavior).

• Which-key pop-up delay is high on purpose - that way it doesn’t pop up constantly.

• No debuggers implemented in this config (yet).

• Two choices for colorschemes: Rosepine and Tokyonight

What I use

• wezterm using Fira Code Nerd Font

• tmux)

• zsh)

• dwm with a simple bar.sh xsetroot script

Troubleshooting

• Read :mes for any errors

• Ensure :checkhealth looks ok. As a bare minimum, we should have a clipboard and npm in path.

• Install any missing LSP clients, formatters, via :Mason if user/opts.lua was not enough

• Does your LSP need special handling? E.g. If you already have an LSP installed, tell Mason to ignore install by adding it to user.opts.servers_setup_only. This is useful for LSPs that require special handling or, for example, can’t be installed by the usual Mason methods.

• (CAUTION) Clear share and state: rm -rf ~/.local/{share,state}/nvim
