How to setup Neovim

Setup

My nvim config is based on the following tutorial series Neovim from scratch

Clone repository:

git clone git@github.com:owodunni/nvim.git ~/.config/nvim

Install packages:

sudo pacman -S --needed - < pkglist.txt

Fonts

Make sure to install the fonts in the fonts folder. I have not managed to find nerd fonts that support all the icons I use. But the fonts from the gnome-terminal works well. I think its because they package in all the variants (bold, italic, etc).

LSP

Javascript Install the following

npm i -g prettier eslint eslint-plugin-vue yaml-language-server tree-sitter-phpdoc neovim vls

pip install flake8 black beancount

cargo install beancount-language-server

To find LSP servers for different languages run :LSPInstallInfo also look at nvim-lspconfig

fzf + ripgrep

FzF and ripgrep promise increased productivity.

Articles

Install:

fzf
ripgrep
