nvim-config

Neovim config requires Plug (and maybe copilot). You should clone this repo into ~/.config/nvim, or the configuration directory for your nvim. Some of the plugins do have additional dependencies, like fzf, clang-format and black. Also, if you want a JetBarains-like file search, you should install ripgrep.

Installation

For those unfamiliar with Plug, you simply need to :PlugInstall. If you don't want some of the plugins, simply comment them out from init.vim.

Fonts

Some of the plugins require a Nerd Font. I recommend the Regular JetBrains Nerd font.

Key Bindings

The additional key bindings are quite standard:

• Moving between splits with <C-h>, <C-j>, <C-k> and <C-l>. For those unfamiliar with splits, for horrizonal splitting you can do <C-w>n, while for vertical you can do <C-w>v.
• Toggle terminal with <C-Enter>. Note that terminal mode can be both insert and normal. To ensure that the standard terminal key bindings work (like <C-l> for clear), we use <C-ESC> to go into normal mode.
• <TAB> in normal mode formats the file (C/C++/Java with astyle, Python with black).
• For browsing files, toggle nvim-tree using C-`.
• There are a few search file funcionalities that are available through Telescope. The keybindings use the <leader> which I've set up as <SPACE>. For example, <leader>ff searches for files based on name. For the JetBrains-like search, I use <leader>fg which runs ripgrep. Check init.vim for more details.

(Optional) Copilot

Follow the installation on https://github.com/github/copilot.vim, and add it ot pack/. You will be prompted to login from a browser, or put a 6 digit code.

Dependencies

Nowadays, the ones that I use are:

• ripgrep and fzf for search.
• clang-format for formatting C/C++/C#/Java.
• black for formatting python.
