cjokes nvim config.

This is a fork from cpow/neovim-for-newbs, I did breake out and started to do my own research/voyage pretty early. I thought that would be a nice start. Where cpow also had a nice youtube tutorial about his config aswell.

I forked this because of the other neovim distros where too complicated for me to both understand and exstend.

I have tried to be minimalistic as possible and at the same time have all the cool things. If you read through the commits you will se that this has been a real rollercoaster. I have'nt figured out all things yet. But Im closing in.

For debugging in python, you will need to pip install debugpy package and check out the keymappings d-(t,c,o,x) nvim-dap with dap-ui is awesome.

To use all of the configuration in my repo, there are some packages you will need to install from your package manager and pip.

Some of the plugin authors claim that you will need the latest from neovim I use latest stable as for now 0.9.5.

git
lazygit
python3-pynvim (if you dont use virtual environment)
copilot subscription (optional)

I also use pyenv for handling my virtual environments - optional

if you encounter any problems you should check out requirements in the package :checkhealth is complaining about.

Whats installed in mason plugin.

These plugins are needed for various configurations and plugins to work mainly linters, languageservers and formatters for the lsp configuration.

◍ black
◍ clangd
◍ cpptools
◍ debugpy
◍ flake8
◍ lua-language-server lua_ls
◍ prettier
◍ pyright
◍ stylua

Remote plugins.

Ive installed CopilotChat.nvim from a fork of the original plugin by gptlang to update changes you need to :UpdateRemotePlugins. The python packages is in ~/.config/nvim/rplugin/python3 directory. you should set IS_DEV to false unless you fork the plugin and make changes.

Howto use this configuration

Remove or make a backup.

# remove
rm -rf ~/.config/nvim ~/.local/share/nvim ~/.local/state/nvim

# copy a backup
cp -a ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim-backup
cp -a ~/.local/share/nvim ~/.local/state/nvim-backup
cp -a ~/.local/share/nvim ~/.local/share/nvim-backup

Now you clone this repository and place it in neovims config directory.


git clone git@github.com:cjoke/neovim-for-cjoke.git ~/.config/nvim

To remove this configuration and start from scratch with default neovim config repeat the first step and just start neovim.

Final words

I have made a virtual environment where I run pynvim which is required for some plugins in neovim. you can make your own environment or just install it through your packagemanager. e.g debian/ubuntu sudo apt install python3-pynvim you should also change the setting in options.lua to point to your own environment you make.

vim.g.python3_host_prog = "$HOME/.pyenv/versions/nvim/bin/python"

If you want to check out my awesome config and I have forgotten to mention something of importance, make an issue and I'll help out the best I can.

Have fun sharing Cheers!
