Neovim configuration

This is my nvim configuration. I use it to work with rust and go lang programs (LSP). But highlight works for all maintained languages with tree-sitter. It should be easy to add new languages.

Installation

Requirements

There can be more binaries that are required but some could be installed already in my OS use checkhealth

Arch-linux based systems

sudo pacman -S ripgreap \ # for telescope
    tar curl \ # nvim-treesitter
    community/wl-clipboard # allow copy/past to `+` register (system) on Wayland

pamac build stylua-bin
go install github.com/lighttiger2505/sqls  # for SQL support with LSP (need configuration file in $HOME/.config/config.yml)

LSPs:

sudo pacman -S \
    lua-language-serve \
	rust-analyzer rust \
    go gopls revive \ # golang
	

Ubunut based systems

TODO

Plugins

Download neovim configuration:

git clone https://github.com/xoac/nvim ~/.config/

Next you need to run nvim (you got some errors) and then :PackerSync. Unfortunately you need to close nvim and repeat procedure until you are out of errors (this is bug).

Structure

This configuration uses a different approach than the standard ones. Most of them have a struct of files like this:

Standard structure

├── init.lua
├── lua
│   ├── keymap
│   │   ├── buffer.lua
│   │   ├── escape.lua
│   │   ├── global.lua
│   │   ├── init.lua
│   │   ├── lsp.lua
│   │   ├── move.lua
│   │   ├── neovide.lua
│   │   ├── resize.lua
│   │   ├── toggleterm.lua
│   │   └── window.lua
│   ├── lsp
│   │   ├── config
│   │   │   ├── init.lua
│   │   │   ├── rust.lua
│   │   │   ├── s-lua.lua
│   │   │   ├── styl.lua
│   │   │   └── ts-js.lua
│   │   ├── init.lua
│   │   ├── lsp-setup.lua
│   │   └── ts-js-deno.lua
│   ├── packer
│   │   ├── loader.lua
│   │   ├── plugins.lua
│   │   └── settings
│   │       ├── alpha.lua
│   │       ├── autopairs.lua
│   │       ├── bufferline.lua
│   │       ├── compe.lua
│   │       ├── format.lua
│   │       ├── kommantary.lua
│   │       ├── luasnip.lua
│   │       ├── nvimtree.lua
│   │       ├── snippets
│   │       │   ├── global.lua
│   │       │   ├── init.lua
│   │       │   ├── lua.lua
│   │       │   └── rust.lua
│   │       ├── toggleterm.lua
│   │       ├── treesitter.lua
│   │       ├── which-key.lua
│   │       └── windline.lua
│   ├── settings.lua
│   └── terminal.lua

My approach should be simpler, and looks like this:

One plugin one file approach

├── init.lua
├── lua
│   ├── packer
│   │   ├── loader.lua
│   │   └── plugs
│   │       ├── bufferline.lua
│   │       ├── comment.lua
│   │       ├── formatter.lua
│   │       ├── gitsigns.lua
│   │       ├── indent-blankline.lua
│   │       ├── init.lua
│   │       ├── lightbulb.lua
│   │       ├── lsp
│   │       │   ├── go.lua
│   │       │   ├── init.lua
│   │       │   ├── rust.lua
│   │       │   └── sql.lua
│   │       ├── luasnip.lua
│   │       ├── nvim-treesitter.lua
│   │       ├── packer.lua
│   │       ├── renamer.lua
│   │       ├── telescope.lua
│   │       ├── tokyonight.lua
│   │       ├── trouble.lua
│   │       ├── twilight.lua
│   │       ├── which-key.lua
│   │       └── windline.lua
│   └── settings.lua

The rules are:

1. In lua/packer/plugs/init.lua - one line, one plugin
2. in lua/packer/plugs/<plug_name>.lua - one file, one plugin with settings and key mapping
3. In lua/packer/plugs/<folder> - a group of plugins that add special functionality. In my case LSP
4. There are 2 plugins that should be accessible everywhere:
   • packer with global variable packer - used to add more plugins
   • which-key that should be accessed with local wk = require("which-key") and this is suggested way to add new key mapping

Example benefits of this approach:

• disable one plugin with all settings and key mapping, all you need is to comment one line in /lua/packer/plugs/init.lua
• conflict key mapping you can check with checkhealth which-key
• if you want modify plugin settings you only look in one file.
• should be simpler for beginners
