Neovim Dot-files

This repository contains Neovim config files for both Linux and Windows-based environments.

Features

1. Basic Options

• I have set basic options like tabstop, relative number, etc., which you can find here.
• This also includes fetching two color schemes: catppuccin and material.

2. Lazy.nvim

• Lazy.nvim is a new plugin manager for Neovim, replacing the now deprecated packer.
• The setup file for this plugin is here, and the list of plugins to be installed is mentioned here.

3. LSP (Language Server Protocol)

• Neovim comes with built-in LSP support, enabling features like code suggestions, autocompletions, etc. The setup for this is here.

  • Snippets: With LSP and language servers installed using mason, I also utilize nvim-cmp for autocompletion, whose setup is here.

  

4. Telescope

• Telescope makes navigation, file finding, and searching for keywords in entire projects very easy. The setup is here.
  • I've also used the treesitter plugin for syntax highlighting and more.

5. Discord RPC Integration

• Additionally, I've integrated nvimcord to enable Discord Rich Presence in Neovim. This feature enhances collaboration and showcases your activity to others on Discord.
• To update your Discord Rich Presence, open and edit a file in Neovim, then press Esc to enter normal mode. Type :nvimcordupdate, then press Tab and Enter to update and display your Rich Presence on Discord.

6. Markview Plugin (discontinued...)

• This plugin helps to render markdown in terminal itself.
• This helps to understand and take notes easily without opening browser for markdown_preview.

• Using this for markdown rendering.

7. Notes and Notification

• Some custom files have been added to after/plugin that help in linking and taking notes easily.

• keymaps.lua has been updated accordinly along with one more file being added.

• Notification features added using notify.nvim

Background

• The background is removed by default. If you want to enjoy your Neovim with a background, simply comment out line 29 here.

• being a UNIX based environment, if you follow the same steps in Linux Installation, you can get the neovim config working for you. (tested on my friend's system).

• TLDR: Just follow Linux steps
