my-vim-conf

I have moved on to using Neovim with Lua, given the plethora of next-gen tools and improved integration with LSPs. Lua is a sweet language to work with, and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with it.

This repository contains my current vim configuration as I find it helpful

I concentrate on using vim for my text editing tasks and also for programming in C/C++, Python, and Web development

Requirements Outlined for Vim config

• Package Manager

  Packer is fast and has all the required features.

• Tag Explorer

  TODO: Look for some other plugins or some adaptation of Telescope finder.

• Version Control System

  • Git

    Fugitive and other small plugins

  • others

    TODO: Be prepared for any other VCS integration

• Completer

  nvim-cmp works great with LSP, also provides some other perks.

• Commenting

  Comment.vim does a great job.

• File Explorer

  NERDTree is okay for me for now. Nvim-Tree is a faster alternative, but we need to give it time to develop further.

• Folding

  Treesitter handles it better.

• Languages

  LSP Clients are easy to install using LSP Installer.

• Platforms

  • Maya

    Vimya has some quirks but is very useful

  • Unreal

    TODO: Find out seemless way of working with unreal C++ and Python code and set maps etc.

  • Unity

    TODO: Find good way of working with Unity.

  • Wordpress

    TODO: Find a great way to work with wordpress. Does not have to be vim based solution only.

  • Django

    TODO: This should not be very difficult to get completion for code.

  • React:

    TODO: Probably there is a LSP Client out there. Need to learn the tech first.

• Startup and Session Management

  • Startup

    Alpha.nvim is a great platform, can definitely work with this.

  • Sessions

    xolox/Session.vim is pretty good for me, but needs some modernization.

    TODO: Maybe I should adopt its development and integrate it with an alpha theme.

• Status Line

  Lualine is fast, so let us leave it at that!

• Undo Management

  TODO: Find a nice, modern solution possibly shinier than Gundo

• Linting and Correction

  LSP and Null-ls with Linters should do the job.

  TODO: keep on searching for the best configuration for each language / scenario

• Which Key

  What can I say Which-Key works great

  TODO: Find a way of keeping it quiet in insert mode.

• Colorscheme

  Got a couple good options. this will keep on evolving I guess.

  Nothing better than Telescope these days. Bye bye Denite!
