init.vimango
My personal Neovim configurations.
This repository was created for personal usage.
Main guidelines:
- Highly Documented and well organized.
- Organize everything by what it relates to, like the main editor, a specific plugin, etc...
- Document options/features to save the need for scanning :help files all the time.
- Fairly portable - everything is in a single directories tree!
- Minimizing the number of plugins:
- No unused plugins.
- No duplicate plugins.
- Prefer builtin features over plugins when results are similar.
- Configs for each plugin are stored together making it easily removeable/replaceable.
- Prefer plugins that dont require external dependencies (such as python/nodeJS).
- Scaleable: No features that only work for small code bases and break or become unuseable for bigger ones.
- Usually prefer built-in shortcuts or highly standardized shortcuts (like the default lsp shortcuts)
over shoftcuts specific to this configuration.
- Let vim be vim - dont force behaviors of "regular" editors on vim,
Features:
- Language specific configs: cpp, python, lua.
- Easy to add more languages.
- Easy use of tabpages, buffers and windows. Each used the way it was meant to be.
- Useful, efficient and consistent shortcuts for many actions.
- Enhancements to some built-in features.
- A personal wiki with summaries of vim-related articles, unknown features and neat tricks.
