NeoVim Configuration

This is my personal NeoVim configuration. Just stored in a repository for being flexible, when experimenting with third-party pre-configured scripts (e.g. NvChad).

Requirements

• NeoVim in version 0.9.0 is required!
• Nerd Fonts are required for nice display of icons (currently Cousine Nerd Font is configured, which is packed into this directory)
• Because telescope is included in this configuration, ripgrep package is required.
• Because tree-sitter is configured for Rust and Python linting, pyright needs to be installed.
• Some package needs nodejs, so needs to be installed.
• Currently integrating ms-jpg/coc, which needs python + pip + venv.

Installation

• Step 1: Install requirements mentioned above
  • Install nodejs, e.g.

    sudo apt install nodejs
    sudo pamac install nodejs

  • Install ripgrep, e.g.

    sudo apt install ripgrep
    sudo pamac install ripgrep

  • Install python, e.g.

    sudo apt install python python-pip
    sudo pamac install python python-pip

  • Install venv or virtualenv for Python:

    sudo apt install python3-venv
    sudo pamac install python-virtualenv

  • Install pyright with the tool of your choice, e.g.

    npm install --global pyright

    or

    pip install pyright

• Step 2: Install some Nerd Font of your choice (this config uses Cousine Nerd Font)
  • Cousine Nerd Font is available here: Cousine Nerd Font
  • Extract and copy to your local TTF folder, e.g.

    unzip Cousine.zip
    sudo mv *.ttf /usr/share/fonts/TTF

    For using another Nerd Font, see this section.
• Step 3: Remove existing configurations completely, to avoid conflicts:

  rm -rf ~/.config/nvim
  rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim
  rm -rf ~/.local/state/nvim

• Step 4: Clone this repository and install VimPlug:

  git clone https://github.com/neutrinoks/nvim.git ~/.config/nvim
  sh -c 'curl -fLo "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}"/nvim/site/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
         https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim'

• Step 4: When running NeoVim for the first time execute:

  :PlugInstall
  

• Step 5: Restart to make all changes applied properly.

Current contained plugins

• nvim-tree/nvim-tree:
• nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons
• nvim-lualine/lualine
• nvim-telescope/telescope
• nvim-lua/plenary
• nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter
• lukas-reineke/indent-blankline
• romgrk/barbar
• hrsh7th/nvim-cmp & several addons
• neovim/nvim-lspconfig
• L3MON4D3/LuaSnip

Using another Nerd Font

If you want to use another Nerd Font, you have to specifiy it in init.lua line 75, e.g.

opt.guifont = "Cousine Nerd Font"

or

opt.guifont = "Hack Nerd Font"
