  • tsserver launching multiple times
    1 project | /r/neovim | 17 Jun 2023
    I found myself with the same problem and found a solution in LazyVim's maintainer's dotfiles. You have to configure `tsserver` like this, so it doesn't spawn multiple instances. Take a look [here](https://github.com/folke/dot/commit/aef729a076970e770ed84d817419551e82951d2c) to include it in your own configuration.

  • Tradeoffs of using home manager for neovim plugins
    2 projects | /r/NixOS | 10 Jan 2023
    Iā€™m very happy with the new plugin manager lazy.nvim: 1. Powerful control over lazy loading plugins. Example: lazy load when command is run, or on certain events in neovim 2. I like how Iā€™m able to layout the config. Each plugin I have has their own lua file for config (example from someone else dotfiles)
