awesome-copycats VS nvim-lua-guide

Not sure how I can start applications in /etc/xdg/autostart/ in awesomeWM. Have this in my rc.lua (from lcpz/awesome-copycats rc.lua.template): awful.spawn.with_shell(

I wouldn't pick a distro based on this. If you want a pre-config check out awesomewm-copycats

I'm working from a theme from here: https://github.com/lcpz/awesome-copycats/tree/master/themes that I've tweaked a little bit. So there are two files involved:

You can look at the docs for awful.wibar to see all of the options, and have a look at some example configs like awesome-copycats to see what's possible and actual examples of how the wibar options are used.

https://github.com/lcpz/awesome-copycats Powerline-Dark is the theme used here.

Start exploring official documentation, there is section about default configuration. You can also take a look at existing themes like awesome-copycats or manilaromes glorious dotfiles and see how they do things and start experimenting.

Hi, I've been using awesome for some months already, most of the confix coming from https://github.com/lcpz/awesome-copycats.

My config is mostly based on awesome-copycats with some custom additions.

Nvim Lua guide

My main struggles beyond a simple problem are just the inability to find a way to easily debug things and the general process for setting up a plugin. I mostly work with Python/Jupyter, some C and Lua/Bash scripts, and usually you can either write tests/print debug for smaller scale things or get some stack trace if you have an error. With Neovim development, it just feels like there's nothing more besides update plugin, try on neovim, fail, bash head against wall, and repeat, and that doesn't quite seem efficient or correct - I'm sure there's something out there that should make the process easier. I tried looking online but I haven't found many that really fit my needs (most of the resources here seem more targeted towards creating your own init.lua, and Luadev plugin's commands are all broken (:Luadev-RunLine and any other command keeps telling me I got some trailing space). I'm really just looking to see how to make a snippet library, but there doesn't seem to be much that helps me. If someone could let me know how they debug their plugin or point me to any external resources, please let me know!

I have no guidance for the first point. For the second, checkout the neovim lua guide or : lua-guide

A quick google search turned up this codeacademy class on learning to program in Javascript. I didn't vet the whole thing, but it appears to assume you know nothing, which is what you need. If you go through that, you can then consume one of the resources that /u/luascriptdev post to equate that back to Lua. Again, the concepts translate.
