lua/config/options.lua

Key Mapping

lua/config/mapping.lua and keys in plugin configs.

Plugin Management

Plugin system is built with lazy.nvim.

Add plugins by editing lua/plugins/init.lua. Or add a {plugin_name}.lua file in lua/plugins/configs and require it in lua/plugins/init.lua.

Open lazy.nvim panel with command :Lazy.

Add Language Support

Language Parsers

Built with nvim-treesitter.

Modify nvim-treesitter.opts.ensure_installed in lua/plugins/language/treesitter.lua.

Treesitter usage:

• :TSUpdate {language}/all to update Parsers
• :TSInstallInfo to check installation information for different languages
• TSUninstall <package_to_uninstall> to remove an installed package

LSP, Linter and Formatter Management

Mason is used to management language support packages.

Add new packages by modifying vim.list_extend(ensure_installed, {}) in lua/plugins/configs/language/lspconfig.lua.

Open Mason panel by :Mason command.

Mason usage:

• :Mason - opens a graphical status window
• :MasonUpdate - updates all managed registries
• :MasonInstall <package> ... - installs/re-installs the provided packages
• :MasonUninstall <package> ... - uninstalls the provided packages
• :MasonUninstallAll - uninstalls all packages
• :MasonLog - opens the mason.nvim log file in a new tab window

LSP Configuration

LSP configuration support is built with nvim-lspconfig.

Add LSP name to servers in lua/plugins/configs/language/lspconfig.lua (check server_configurations for support for specific LSP).

Format & Lint

Formatter is built with conform.nvim.

Lintter is built with nvim-lint.

Trun on a formatter or linter by editing lua/plugins/configs/language/conform.lua for formatter and lua/plugins/configs/language/lint.lua for linter.

Debugging Support

nvim-dap, nvim-dap-ui plugin have been added for debugging. Plugins for specific language debugging can be found in Debug Adapter installation.

Tips

• To share clipboard with system, install xclip on Linux with X11. But install win32yank and uninstall xlibp for WSL.
• If nvim-treesitter output error Invalid node type at position x for language x, you can use :echo nvim_get_runtime_file('parser', v:true) to check whether more than one parser is used or not, than rename the nvim parser folder to another name to use treesitter parser only.
• set venv searching path by modify conda_command and venv_command in lua/plugins/config/venv_selector.lua
• Debugging C/C++ in Windows with codelldb need a program compiled using clang with --target=x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
• To use fish in Windows, set bash_path and auto start fish every time entering bash
• To use plugins that depend on curl within MSYS bash, you need to use mingw curl. A solution is set MSYSTEM to MINGW64 in /etc/msystem and /etc/fish/msystem.fish
