This is a set of config files for the brilliant configuration project LunarVim by Christian Chiarulli. I've been using VI on and off as my daily editor since the early 1990's and Christian's setup is the best I've seen so I've just plagiarized it and added a few of my own twists.

The main changes are documented below:

• My config for status line.
• My dashboard.
• Custom Keybindings.
• Custom Colours.
• and much more.

I intend to merge Christian's changes into my config regularly to keep up with his brilliant work.

Installation

• Follow the instructions on Christian's site

Visual Appearance

• I use zenburn theme. One of the reasons for this is that its available in virtually any plug-in/app/program that allows theming, so I can near consistent code theming everywhere.

• I've added vertical markers at 80 and 120 characters.

  • The status line displays the current column and line length, these change colour at 80 and 120 characters.

• The current cursor line is highlighted in light red

• The current cursor column is highlighted in light blue

• Whitespace at the end of a line in highlighted in bright red.

• Margin:

  • Current line number is highlighted in Yellow
  • Relative line numbers are shown in RoyalBlue
  • Markers are shown
  • Git changes are shown
  • Folding marks are also shown in the margin

• Codeium "Free, ultrafast Copilot alternative for Vim and Neovim"
