Neovim Configuration

Built to be both minimal but still have some bells and whistles that make the experience enjoyable.

Inspired by:

• The modular version of Kickstart.nvim
• nvim-lite
• minimal-nvim-0.11-lsp-setup
• Evgeni's guide to vim.pack

Installation

Clone this repository to where Neovim expects the config to be.

macOS and Linux

~/.config/nvim/

Windows

~\AppData\Local\nvim

Core

Required or else it won't work:

• neovim 0.12+
• ripgrep
• lazygit

Useful (Optional) Tools

• Ghostty with smooth cursor shader.
• A patched font (like JetBrainsMono NF).
• Write per-machine configurations into the lua/config/local.lua file. They will be run last if it exists and not tracked in git.

Example local.lua:

-- Configure Neovide scale.
vim.g.neovide_scale_factor = 0.8

-- Use Skim for LaTeX (macOS)
vim.g.vimtex_view_method = "skim"

-- Use Powershell in ToggleTerm
require("toggleterm").setup({
  shell = "powershell.exe",
})
