Nvims

Neovim Configuration Fuzzy Selector

The lazyman installation and configuration automatically configures convenience aliases and an nvims shell function for the installed Lazyman Neovim configurations. See ~/.config/nvim-Lazyman/.lazymanrc.

The nvims shell function, when executed, presents a fuzzy searchable menu of the lazyman installed Neovim configurations. The lazyman installed Neovim configurations are maintained in the file ~/.config/nvim-Lazyman/.nvimdirs. Entries in this file are what nvims uses for its fuzzy selection menu. When Neovim configurations are installed or removed with lazyman this file is updated accordingly.

Note also that a convenience key binding has been created to launch nvims with ctrl-n.

The nvims Neovim configuration switching shell function was created by Elijah Manor. He created an excellent Neovim Config Switcher video in which he provides details on use and customization of the nvims shell function.

Lazyman has incorporated and adapted the nvims shell function for use with the Lazyman installed Neovim configurations. The nvims shell function is automatically configured during lazyman installation.
