Configuration

All settings are modularly organized in lua/core/:

• options.lua: Editor settings (tabs, line numbers, etc.)
• keymaps.lua: Key mappings and leader configuration
• plugins.lua: Plugin specifications for Lazy.nvim
• plugin_config/: Individual plugin configurations:
  • colorscheme.lua: Gruvbox setup with transparency
  • completions.lua: nvim-cmp configuration
  • copilot.lua: GitHub Copilot integration
  • lsp_config.lua: LSP server configurations
  • lualine.lua: Status bar setup
  • nvimtree_config.lua: File explorer settings
  • treesitter.lua: Syntax highlighting configuration
  • And others for specific plugins

Installation

Since this is already configured in ~/.config/nvim, simply ensure you have:

• Neovim >= 0.8.0
• Git
• A Nerd Font (for proper icon display in plugins like nvim-tree and lualine)

Plugins will be automatically installed by Lazy.nvim on first launch.

Compatibility & OS Support

This configuration is Linux-Focused, specifically optimized for Ubuntu-based distributions (tested on Ubuntu 25.10/Zero OS).

While Neovim is cross-platform, this setup relies on a Unix-like environment for the best experience

Keybindings

Navigation

• <C-h>, <C-j>, <C-k>, <C-l>: Move between split windows
• <Leader>h: Clear search highlights

(Additional keybindings are defined in lua/core/keymaps.lua and individual plugin configs)

• Lazy-lock.json: Do not delete the lazy-lock.json file in the root of this configuration. This file is generated by Lazy.nvim to track the exact versions of plugins installed. Deleting it may cause plugins to be reinstalled or updated to unintended versions, potentially breaking the setup.

Feel free to customize this configuration to your workflow!

Notes

• Transparent background requires a terminal that supports true colors
• Leader key is set to Spacebar
• Clipboard integration uses system clipboard where available
• Swagger preview requires swagger-ui-watcher installed globally
• Markdown preview requires Node.js and npm
