# 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,
plugins etc. and have "my own" config that only includes things I really need.
More on the "why's" are explained [in my blog post](https://lugh.ch/neovim-lessons-learned.html).
## Installation
1. Install Neovim 0.10. or newer
1. Install the dependencies documented in `init.lua`
1. Clone this Git repository to
1. `~/.config/nvim` on macOS or Linux
1. `c:\Users\foobar\AppData\Local\nvim` when on Windows
### Finishing touches
- Create a `$HOME/.ignore` file and add big, useless directories to it, so
Telescope/ripgrep/fd can ignore those. My current list of files/directories is
available in `lua/weeheavy/plugins/telescope-fzf-native.lua`
- Install Mason LSP/linter/formatters from the table down below
## Speed
It's not too important. Still, I try to balance increasing startup time with
the usefullness of a plugin.
Output from lazy.nvim profiling (`:Lazy profile`) on a MacBook Pro M2 Max,
macOS 14 on Neovim 0.10.1.
### Start and open init.lua
Around 10% of the plugins are lazy-loaded.
```bash
Startuptime: 96.76ms
Based on the actual CPU time of the Neovim process till UIEnter.
This is more accurate than `nvim --startuptime`.
LazyStart 13.3ms
LazyDone 41.06ms (+27.76ms)
UIEnter 96.76ms (+55.71ms)
```
### Starting with an empty file
Around 50% of the plugins are lazy-loaded.
```bash
Startuptime: 49.82ms
Based on the actual CPU time of the Neovim process till UIEnter.
This is more accurate than `nvim --startuptime`.
LazyStart 13.75ms
LazyDone 40.39ms (+26.64ms)
UIEnter 49.82ms (+9.43ms)
```

## Mason essentials
This lists the LSPs/linter/formatters I consider ok for my use cases. Tools may
support many more languages than I document in the "Language" column. The
formatters installed here are used via `conform.nvim`.
