ov

• my neovim setup with
  • lazy.nvim
  • mason for managing lsp
  • harpoon for file navigation
  • noice for floating cmdline
  • lualine for status line
• configs for plugin can be found under lua/plugins
• for rust, python, golang, lua, hcl and typescript dev
• for java, I recommend using idea + ideavim
  • dependency resolving much faster and easier than jdtls

prerequisite(separate installation)

• pip & pynvim: python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade pynvim
• node: >= 20.19.0 (for fish-lsp)
• formatting
  • ruff: for python formatting
  • stylua: for lua
• npm (used by mason)
• build-essential(gcc, git, etc.)
• ripgrep
• fzf
• golangci-lint & golangci-lint-langserver
• for ts_ls: npm install -g typescript

manual installation

• to 01/14/2023, mason.nvim doesn't officially support ensure_installed (see this issue)
  • need to manually install codelldb via MasonInstall codelldb and ensure $PATH includes ~/.local/share/nvim/mason/bin

faq

• why neo-tree instead of chadtree, nvim-tree and nerdtree for file management?
  • chadtree doesn't support open a dir
  • nvim-tree doesn't support to enter a dir in the tree
  • nerdtree is no longer maintained (actually I like it)
• why leap.nvim instead of easymotion, vim-sneak, hop.nvim for metajump?
  • when I switch to lua config and lazy.nvim, vim-sneak stop working.
  • hop.nvim is buggy
  • leap.nvim is more actively maintained, and the design is better
• why nvim-cmp instead of coq.nvim, mini.completion for autocompletion?
  • coq.nvim makes my neovim crash from time to time; nvim-cmp never.
  • mini.completion is neat, but it's not as feature-rich as nvim-cmp.
• why nvim-dap instead of vim-inspector?
  • more convenient to debug unit tests
• about neovim's folding
  • here expr fold is used
• my leaderF doesn't work
  • execute :checkhealth and see pynvim is ok or not
