Neovim :: M Λ C R O

Neovim :: M Λ C R O is a collection of Neovim configuration files inspired by Emacs / N Λ N O.

The goal of macro-neovim is to provide a clean and elegant user interface while remaining practical for daily tasks, striking a balance between a streamlined design and effective functionality. See showcases to get a glimpse of the basic usage and what this configuration looks like.

This is a highly personalized and opinionated Neovim configuration, not a distribution. While it's not meant for direct use, you're welcome to fork, experiment, and adapt it to your liking. Feel free to use it as a starting point for your configuration or borrow elements you find useful. Issues and PRs are welcome.

Currently only supports Linux (X11/Wayland/TTY).

  

Table of Contents

Features

  • Modular design
    • Install and manage packages in groups
    • Make it easy to use different set of configuration for different use cases
  • Clean and uncluttered UI, including customized versions of:
  • VSCode-Neovim integration, makes you feel at home in VSCode when you occasionally need it
  • Massive TeX math snippets
  • Jupyter Notebook integration: edit notebooks like markdown files, run code in cells with simple commands and shortcuts
  • Fine-tuned plugins with custom patches
  • Optimization for large files, open any file larger than 100 MB and edit like butter
  • Fast startup around ~25 ms

Requirements and Dependencies

Basic

Tree-sitter

Tree-sitter installation and configuration are handled by nvim-treesitter.

Requires a C compiler, e.g. GCC or Clang, for building parsers.

To add or remove support for a language, install or uninstall the corresponding parser using :TSInstall or :TSUninstall.

To make the change permanent, add or remove corresponding parsers in the ensure_installed field in the call to nvim-treesitter's setup() function, see lua/configs/nvim-treesitter.lua.

LSP

For LSP support, install the following language servers manually using your favorite package manager:

To add support for other languages, install corresponding language servers manually then add lsp.lua files under after/ftplugin to automatically launch them for different filetypes.

Some examples of lsp.lua files:

DAP

Install the following debug adapters manually:

  • Bash:

    Go to vscode-bash-debug release page, download the latest release (bash-debug-x.x.x.vsix), extract (change the extension from .vsix to .zip then unzip it) the contents to a new directory vscode-bash-debug/ and put it under stdpath data (see :h stdpath).

    Make sure node is executable.

  • C/C++: install CodeLLDB.

    Example for ArchLinux users:

    yay -S codelldb     # Install from AUR

  • Python: install DebugPy

    Example for ArchLinux users:

    sudo pacman -S python-debugpy

    or

    pip install --local debugpy # Install to user's home directory

  • Go: install Delve

For more information on DAP installation, see Debug Adapter Installation.

Formatter

  • Bash: install Shfmt*
  • C/C++: install Clang to use clang-format
  • Lua: install StyLua*
  • Rust: install Rust to use rustfmt
  • Python: install Black*
  • LaTeX: install texlive-core to use latexindent

*Need EFM Language Server to work with vim.lsp.buf.format()

Installation

  1. Make sure you have required dependencies installed.

  2. Clone this repo to your config directory

    git clone https://github.com/Bekaboo/nvim ~/.config/nvim-macro

  3. Open neovim using

    NVIM_APPNAME=nvim-macro nvim

    On first installation, neovim will prompt you to decide whether to install third-party plugins, press y to install, n to skip, never to skip and disable the prompt in the future (aka "do not ask again").

    The suggestion is to use n to skip installing plugins on first launch, and see if everything works OK under a bare minimum setup. Depending on your needs, you can choose whether to install third-party plugins later using y/yes or never on the second launch.

    Some notes about third-party plugins

    Installing third-party plugins is known to cause issues in some cases, including:

    1. Partially cloned plugins and missing dependencies due to slow network connection
    2. Building failure especially for plugins like telescope-fzf-native.nvim and markdown-preview.nvim due to missing building dependencies or slow installation process
    3. Treesitter plugins can easily cause issues if you are on a different nvim version, check nvim-version.txt for the version of nvim targeted by this config

    To avoid these issues,

    1. Ensure you have a fast network before installing third-party plugins
    2. If the building process failed, go to corresponding project directory under g:package_path and manually run the build command from there. The build commands are declared in module specification files under lua/modules
    3. Ensure you are on the same version of nvim as specified in nvim-version.txt if you encounter any issue related to treesitter

  4. After entering neovim, Run :checkhealth to check potential dependency issues.

  5. Enjoy!

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issue, please try the following steps:

  1. Run :Lazy restore once to ensure that all packages are properly installed and patched

  2. Run :checkhealth to check potential dependency issues

  3. Check :version to make sure you are on the same (of above) version of neovim as specified in nvim-version.txt

  4. Try removing the following paths then restart Neovim:

    • :echo stdpath('cache')
    • :echo stdpath('state')
    • :echo stdpath('data')

  5. If still not working, please open an issue and I will be happy to help

Uninstallation

You can uninstall this config completely by simply removing the following paths:

  • :echo stdpath('config')
  • :echo stdpath('cache')
  • :echo stdpath('state')
  • :echo stdpath('data')

Tweaking this Configuration

Managing Plugins with Modules

In order to enable or disable a module, one need to change the table in lua/core/modules.lua passed to enable_modules(), for example

enable_modules({
  'lib',
  'treesitter',
  'edit',
  -- ...
})

Installing Packages to an Existing Module

To install plugin foo under module bar, just insert the corresponding specification to the big table lua/modules/bar.lua returns, for instance,

lua/modules/bar.lua:

return {
  -- ...
  {
    'foo/foo',
    dependencies = 'foo_dep',
  },
}

Installing Packages to a New Module

To install plugin foo under module bar, one should first create module bar under lua/modules:

.
└── lua
    └── modules
        └── bar.lua

a module should return a big table containing all specifications of plugins under that module, for instance:

return {
  {
    'goolord/alpha-nvim',
    cond = function()
      return vim.fn.argc() == 0 and
          vim.o.lines >= 36 and vim.o.columns >= 80
    end,
    dependencies = 'nvim-web-devicons',
  },

  {
    'romgrk/barbar.nvim',
    dependencies = 'nvim-web-devicons',
    config = function() require('bufferline').setup() end,
  },
}

After creating the new module bar, enable it in lua/core/modules.lua:

enable_modules({
  -- ...
  'bar',
  -- ...
})

General Settings and Options

See lua/core/general.lua.

Environment Variables

  • $NVIM_NO3RD: disable third-party plugins if set
  • $NVIM_NF: enable nerd font icons if set

Keymaps

See lua/core/keymaps.lua, or see module config files for corresponding plugin keymaps.

Colorschemes

cockatoo, nano, macro, and sonokai are three builtin custom colorschemes, with separate palettes for dark and light background.

Neovim is configured to restore the previous background and colorscheme settings on startup, so there is no need to set them up in the config file explicitly.

To disable the auto-restore feature, remove the plugin plugin/colorscheme.lua.

To tweak this colorscheme, edit corresponding colorscheme files under colors.

Auto Commands

See lua/core/autocmds.lua.

LSP Server Configurations

See lua/utils/lsp.lua and lsp.lua files under after/ftplugin.

DAP Configurations

See lua/configs/dap-configs, lua/configs/nvim-dap.lua, and lua/configs/nvim-dap-ui.lua.

Snippets

This configuration use LuaSnip as the snippet engine, custom snippets for different filetypes are defined under lua/snippets.

Enabling VSCode Integration

VSCode integration takes advantages of the modular design, allowing to use a different set of modules when Neovim is launched by VSCode, relevant code is in autoload/plugin/vscode.vim and lua/core/modules.lua.

To make VSCode integration work, please install VSCode-Neovim in VSCode and configure it correctly.

After setting up VSCode-Neovim, re-enter VSCode, open a random file and it should work out of the box.
