💤 LazyVim

My LazyVim config, a sequel to runyanjake/nvim.
Based off of https://github.com/LazyVim/starter.

Installation

0. The OS may not be bundled with GCC which is required for neovim variants. It is part of build-essential, a bundle of useful build tools.

sudo apt install build-essential

1. Install Neovim if not installed.
   Homebrew:

brew install neovim

Ubuntu (installing newer version of neovim):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install neovim

2. Back up existing nvim config

mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim_BAK

3. Clone this repo to wherever you're gonna keep it.

gh repo clone runyanjake/lazyvim  ~/repositories/lazyvim

4. Link all nvim related items to the nvim config folder.

mkdir ~/.config/nvim
ln -sfn /path/to/dotfiles/lazyvim/stylua.toml ~/.config/nvim/stylua.toml
ln -sfn /path/to/dotfiles/lazyvim/lua ~/.config/nvim/lua
ln -sfn /path/to/dotfiles/lazyvim/init.lua ~/.config/nvim/init.lua

5. Start nvim, and let all the packages install. Done!

Plugins/Addons/Extras

Mason (Language Servers)

Enter Mason UI view from nvim: :Mason. Enter g? to toggle help page if you've forgotten the hotkeys. Some ideas of what to install:

• java-language-server
• python-lsp-server

Clipboard Support

By default LazyVim can't copy things to the clipboard.
Install vim-gtk3 to support this:

sudo apt install vim-gtk3

Now, right click > copy will copy to system clipboard. Alternatively you can copy to the + or * register ("`` + ++y` ) and paste outside.

Shortcut Reference

<LEADER> key is space key. I don't see a need to change it for me.
