This is based on Ecovim with a lot of useless eye candy thrown in to demonstrate how useful Neovim is even loaded up with candy.
- Configured for TypeScript Development (React.js, Next.js, Vue.js, Angular, Node.js etc.)
- Great default theme: Tokyonight
- Lazy loaded via lazy.nvim
- Highly performant (90ms load time)
- Extendable LSP configuration via mason.nvim
- Support for 🤖 AI: ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Codeium and Tabnine
- Support for TailwindCSS with highlighted colors
- JSON autocompletion for most popular Frontend configs
- NPM packages autocompletion in package.json
- Internal Jest testing and Coverage support
- Debugging with nvim-dap (works with React.js & React Native)
- Automatic Treesitter-based folding with imports folded by default
- Current code context via nvim-navic
- Beautiful and functional custom statusline built with galaxyline.nvim
- Git management with Lazygit, custom telescope commits view with git-delta, gitsigns & diffview, custom git blame
And of course usage of telescope, nvim-tree, barbar, cmp, treesitter, blankline & more!

Prerequisities
- Make sure you have installed the latest version of Neovim v0.9.0+ (nightly is preferred).
- Have wget, curl, unzip, git, make, pip, python, npm, node, luarocks, fd, ripgrep and cargo installed on your system. You can check if you are missing anything with
:checkhealthcommand. - Have any nerd font installed. Fira Code has been used in screenshots. You can download it from nerdfonts.com.
After install configuration:
- Selected treesitter Languages are installed by default.
To check it run
:TSInstallInfo. Make sure to run:TSInstall <lang>for specific language you want to install. - LSP servers are enabled by default. You can check installed LSP servers by
:Masoncommand.
To change CandyVim related config use the config/CandyVim.lua file.
To change vim settings use the config/options.lua file.
To change plugin related settings use the specific plugins/[name].lua file. Some of the plugin config can be set up during plugin installation in config/plugins.lua file, where you can add new plugins.
Currently I have no idea how to write for you my whole workflow of using CandyVim config in React.js projects I am working on,
but I can write you the most useful custom key bindings by the frequency I use them.
Comma (,) is my Leader key.
File Explorer
| Key Bindings | Description |
|---|---|
| <C - e> | Open File Explorer |
| Backspace | Back to file explorer (in editor normal mode) |
| g? | Open commands menu |
| a | Create new file/directory |
| x | Cut |
| c | Copy |
| y | Copy name |
| r | Rename |
| I | Toggle git ignore files |
Searching
| Key Bindings | Description |
|---|---|
| <C - p> | Telescope git files |
| <S - p> | Telescope live grep |
| s | Enables lightspeed |
| , s d | Search dotfiles |
| , s h | Search file history |
| , s s | Search history |
Working with LSP
| Key Bindings | Description |
|---|---|
| <C - Space> or , c a | Code action |
| <S - K> | Show documentation under cursor |
| gd | Go to definition |
| gr | Go to references |
| ]g | Go to next diagnostic |
| [g | Go to prev diagnostic |
| , c f | Format document (usually ESLint/Prettier) |
| , c r | Rename |
| , c q | Quick fix - when I exactly know if it will fix it |
| , c d | Local diagnostics list |
| , c o | Organize imports |
Working with Git
| Key Bindings | Description |
|---|---|
| , g g | Lazygit - for committing and branch change |
| , g s | Telescope status - when I want to change/search file I am working on with git changes |
| ]c | Go to next change hunk |
| [c | Go to prev change hunk |
| , g d | Advanced powerful diff view with many filters for debugging code, checking previous changes etc. |
| , g m | View hunk diff of a line under cursor |
| , g h r | Reset changed hunk under cursor - I like to check quickly what I have changed in that line and then just type 'u' to go back |
| , g h s | Stage hunk under cursor - Sometimes it's faster than selecting lines in Lazygit, so I can stage specific lines and then just do a commit |
| , g l c | Quick check of previous commit in current buffer, inside to switch preview |
| , g w c | Creates a new worktree. Recommended directory is ../path |
| , g w w | Switches to a worktree. removes worktree. |
Working with Project
| Key Bindings | Description |
|---|---|
| <C - e> | Toggles nvim-tree file explorer |
| , p w | Find word under cursor in project - very useful to find where component is used. Just use binding and type '<'. There is a lot of alternatives like LSP references but I like it with telescope and to not find only references but whole text under cursor. |
| , p f | Find file under cursor in project - it finds files in project which contains text under cursor. Useful when you name directories by component name in React and wants to go quickly to file. 'gd' is better but in some projects without TS or with mixed JS/TS it cannot work properly |
| , p t | Finds TODOs/NOTES in project |
| , p l | Switch between projects |
| , p s | Save session to load it later from Dashboard |
Commenting
| Key Bindings | Description |
|---|---|
| gcc | Create/remove comment |
| gc (visual) | Create/remove comment |
| gcO | Create comment line before |
| gco | Create comment line after |
Table Mode / Alignment
| Key Bindings | Description |
|---|---|
| ga (visual) | Aligns selection based on separator (comma, semi-colon, colon etc.) |
| , t m | Enables Table Mode. Do it in markdown file with some table and you will see magic |
| , t i C | (Only when Table Mode Enabled) Insert column before |
| , t i c | (Only when Table Mode Enabled) Insert column after |
| , t d c | (Only when Table Mode Enabled) Delete column |
| , t d r | (Only when Table Mode Enabled) Delete row |
| , t s | (Only when Table Mode Enabled) Sort table alphabetically |

Other
| Key Bindings | Description |
|---|---|
| <S - q> | Smartly closes current buffer without breaking UI |
| <C - a> | It is not only increases number, but switches between true/false/const/let/function/arrow function/increment dates etc. |
| <C - n> | Finds next occurrence (like *) of word and puts multi-cursor there. Then you can go to Insert mode, Append, Change or Delete. Read more |
| <C - o> | Jumps to previous cursor in jumplist. I use it very often. |
| v | Smartly selects next subjects of current treesitter context |
| s | Standalone jump to any word with folke/flash.nvim |
| ciq | Change inside ANY quotes (`` or '' or "" etc.) with mini.ai |
| cib | Change inside ANY brackets ({} or [] or () etc.) with mini.ai |
| za | Toggle folds. By LSP and nvim-ufo they are automatically added to supported files in smart way. |
| zM | Close all folds |
| zR | Open all folds |
| zr | Open all folds except imports/comments |
| gJ | Smartly joins lines based on treesitter |
| gS | Smartly splits lines based on treesitter. I do if VERY often when I want to put import element to new lines (e.g. import { A, B, C, D, E } from ...) |
| < F12 > | Opens/closes terminal |
| ~ | Switch function arguments smartly |
