This is my neovim and terminal based development setup: Neovim in Tmux in Wezterm in MacOSX. Always a work progress!

Neovim

Configuration: init.lua

• Plugin Manager: lazy.nvim
• Colorscheme: onedark/catppuccin
• Smart stuff: Treesitter, LSP, completion, snippets, fuzzy finder
• Visuals: statusline, tabline, scrollbar, whichkey, startpage
• Motions/operators/jump: textobjects, comments, surrounds, sorting
• Terminal Integrations: lazygit, ranger

Set up below.

Terminal

Shell + Framework: zsh + oh-my-zsh

• autocompletions, vi-mode, syntax highlighting, fzf, z jumping

Terminal Apps

Tools

• bat better cat (syntax highlighting and pager)
• eza better ls
• fd better find
• fzf fuzzy finder
• git-delta better diff
• ripgrep better grep (and faster than ag)
• zoxide directory jumper
• ncdu ncurses disk usage viewer
• tldr community written short man pages

TUI

• lazygit git interface
• neovim better vim (async, community developed)
• ranger file manager (install with pip install ranger-fm)
• tmux terminal multiplexer
• yazi file manager, seemingly faster than ranger
• nchat telegram

Less common

• hyperfine commandline benchmarking
• neofetch display system info
• qrcp qr code generator for wifi transfer

Dependencies

• unar for yazi, archive preview
• poppler for yazi, pdf preview
• gnu-sed for vim-spectre
• zsh-completions for zsh, command line autocompletions

Terminal Multiplexer: tmux

• Configuration: tmux.conf
  • keymaps, session keybing toggle

MacOSX Setup

Install brew (this will also install x-code command line tools if you don't have them yet)

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Disable mouse acceleration

defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling -1

Enable key repeat

defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

• Settings -> Keyboard -> Key repeat rate & Delay until repeat

Applications:

• Raycast: launcher, see ./raycast
• Karabiner Elements: remap keys; RShift -> Backspace; Fn -> Fn on external keyboards (maintain for builtin)
• Mac Mouse Fix: invert mouse scrolling, fancy remaps, add smooth scrolling
• Shortcat: keyboard shortcuts everywhere
• Bartender: keep menubar tidier
• Choosy: browser launcher
• Shottr: screenshot tool
• Arc: brower
• Hammerspoon: mac scripting
• Stats: menubar system monitoring
• Dato: menubar calendar and meetings
• Monitor Control: menubar monitor brightness
• BetterTouchTool: add shortcuts; 3 finger tap -> middle click

oh-my-zsh

Install zsh framework

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Install zsh plugin manager

https://github.com/tarjoilija/zgen | git clone https://github.com/tarjoilija/zgen.git "${HOME}/.zgen"

Set up fzf

$(brew --prefix)/opt/fzf/install

Neovim setup

Install neovim and pynvim (to support python plugins in nvim)

brew install neovim
pip3 install --upgrade pynvim

Ensure python is working with :checkhealth

Dependencies

• deno - for peek.nvim
• fzf

Hammerspoon

Configuration: init.lua

• window management, sleep toggle, toggle apps

Keyboard

Keyboard layers (0-index), global keyboard bindings are managed through ZSA Oryx firmware, Hammerspoon

• Symbols, numbers
  • Layer 1
• System control, arrow keys
  • Layer 2 + ,./: media
  • shift + ctrl + ,./: media
  • Layer 2 + hjkl: arrow keys
  • shift + ctrl + hjkl: arrow keys
• Window movement
  • cmd + ctrl + hjkl mnbv: move, resize
  • cmd + ctrl + shift + hjkl, change display

Configure git for github

• Create ssh key for git (press enter for default file location)
• https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "youremail@domain.com"

• Start ssh-agent in background

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

• Add SSH key

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

• Set config file to automatically load key

echo "Host *\n AddKeysToAgent yes\n UseKeychain yes\n IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa" > ~/.ssh/config

• Add key to GH account at https://github.com/settings/keys, using this command to copy key to clipboard:

pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

• Copy over or symlink .gitconfig. Example:

ln -s ~/dev/dotfiles/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig

Mods

• Spicetify: theme spotify
  • install cli tool, install marketplace, restart app

    spicetify --config
    spicetify backup apply
    spicetify update
    

RaspberryPi Setup

See detailed instructions in the raspberrypi directory

• fish (shell) + fisher (plugin manager) + tmux (terminal multiplexer)
