NVIM Setup

Built off kickstart.nvim . Made for my own iTerm2 setup using oh-my-zsh but should be able to be loaded onto anything. Also includes my tmux configuration which I basically just stole from Josean Martinez with the most minor of changes. It contains all the usual stuff like a package manager ( lazy.nvim ), fuzzy finder ( telescope.nvim and telescope-fzf-native.nvim ), tree sitter ( nvim-treesitter ) and some more, but that's boring, so here's a list of the stuff I've added.

Theme

starry.nvim

• Lets me swap between a bunch of different themes without having to reinstall new ones

dashboard-nvim

• Dashboard plugin, just so it looks nice when I first open this up

transparent.nvim

• For when I have a fun background

Editing QoL

nvim-autopairs

• Bracket autocompletion - can play up sometimes but has been mostly nice to me

nvim-surround

• Plugin to surround selected blocks - super useful for parentheses and the like

git-conflict

• Highlights and visualises git conflicts

cmp-spell

• Spell checker because I'm and engineer and can't spell

markdown-preview.nvim

• Plugin to preview markdown

nvim-ufo

• Plugin for folding code sections - works out of the box which is super nice

Navigation

neo-tree.nvim

• File tree is a bit nicer to look at than netrw

symbols-outline.nvim

• Shows tree of all the symbols in the currently open file

nvim-tmux-navigation

• Used for tmux integration

oil.nvim

• So this is pretty cool, you can navigate through files in a netrw like interface but can add, rename and remove files just by editing the lines in the buffer

hop.nvim

• Fun plugin which I'm using to redefine 'f' and 't' motions. Currently being used for jumping to different points in the line quickly.

Other

vim-wakatime

• Why do I even look at these stats, I barely even program

ros-nvim

• Lets me finally navigate through launch links and peek at message definitions

cmp-matlab

• MATLAB completion source for nvim-cmp, not super extensive but it does the trick

There are a few others included but I don't really use them so I won't mention them.

NOTES

Wanted to put a note here as a reminder that some packages and plugins will not compile on AppleClang. This is rather annoying but I guess it's easier to always target standard LLVM if possible. To do this make sure to set CC (and CXX, though this actually isn't necessary) in .zshrc or .zsh_profile.

• Install ripgrep

brew install ripgrep

• Install npm

brew install node

• Install tpm for tmux integration

git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm

• Also install clangd locally and not through Mason as every machine I use should have clangd

I've missed a lot of dependencies so oh well. Whoops
