# My Neovim configuration

## Motivation

After doing my first steps with <https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim>,
I decided to roll my own, custom, "lightweight" Neovim configuration in order to
better understand Neovim and its configuration/customization, package managers,
LSP etc. and have "my own" config that only includes things I really need.

## Installation

1. Install Neovim 0.9.x
1. Install OS dependencies documented in `init.lua`
1. Clone this Git repository to `~/.config/nvim`


### Finishing touches

- Install Treesitter comment parser (to highlight `FIXME:/NOTE:/TODO:/XXX:`) with `:TSInstall comment`
- Create a `$HOME/.ignore` file and add big, useless directories to it, so Telescope/ripgrep/fd can ignore those. Details in `lua/weeheavy/plugins/telescope-fzf-native.lua`

## Speed

Output from lazy.nvim profiling (`:Lazy`, then `P`):

```bash
Startuptime: 33.68ms

Based on the actual CPU time of the Neovim process till UIEnter.
This is more accurate than `nvim --startuptime`.
  LazyStart 10.87ms
  LazyDone  31.22ms (+20.35ms)
  UIEnter   33.68ms (+2.45ms)
```

## Command cheat sheet

### Vim/Neovim

#### Basics

- `Space` is the leader key and shows key combinations thanks to `which-key.nvim`

#### Plugin fiddling/changes

- `:so` Source file
- `:checkhealth <pluginname>` check for problems with plugin. Use `:checkhealth` to check base and all plugins

#### Navigation

- `Ctrl+t` to open a file in e.g. a Telescope finder in a new buffer
- `gt` or `gT` to navigate open buffers
- `Ctrl+wq` close window
- `Ctrl+ws` split window horizontally
- `Ctrl+wv` split window vertically
- `Ctrl+<h/j/k/l>` switch between split windows

### Lazy

- `:Lazy` to show the package manager UI

### Telescope

#### Telescope file search

- `Ctrl+n` scroll down (**n**ext) file list
- `Ctrl+p` scroll up  (**p**revious) file list
- `Ctrl+d` scroll **d**own in preview
- `Ctrl+u` scroll **u**p in preview

### Treesitter

- `:TSUpdate` update all parsers
- `:TSModuleInfo` show installed parsers

## Open issues/TODOs

- Git handling in general
- Directory browsing with Telescope
- Solution to show short Git logs (potentially without fugitive)
- Hinting for trailing spaces (EOL) and blank space on line
- LSP setup/config (mason?), consume <https://blog.pabuisson.com/2022/08/neovim-modern-features-treesitter-and-lsp/>
