  • 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.

    I spent two weekends searching online repos about how to migrate from packer.nvim to lazy.nvim, and finally, I'm done! Big thanks to folke/lazy.nvim, folke/dot, and LazyVim!
  • Tradeoffs of using home manager for neovim plugins
    2 projects | /r/NixOS | 10 Jan 2023
    I’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 I’m able to layout the config. Each plugin I have has their own lua file for config (example from someone else dotfiles)

  • How to override the colors of NeoSolarized in NeoVim
    3 projects | dev.to | 21 Apr 2024
    First, I installed NeoSolarized.nvim via lazy.nvim, so the code would be simple like the following one.
  • Easy Access to Terminal Commands in Neovim using FTerm
    6 projects | dev.to | 18 Mar 2024
    In my case, I have switched to Lazy.nvim for all of my Neovim plugin needs ( Thanks again Folke! ), so it would be great if you were at least minimally familiar with how Lazy works as well.
  • Neovim: creating keymaps in lua
    4 projects | dev.to | 11 Mar 2024
    If you've read old tutorials about Neovim configuration you've find the way they create keymaps is a little bit different from what people do now. And if you check other people's configuration sometimes you'll find they create their keymaps using lazy.nvim. This is causing confusion among Neovim users.

    The basic plugins will be downloaded on the first run using Lazy, a package manager for Neovim that loads only the necessary plugins as you use them. Once it's done you should be looking at a full-fledged IDE.
  • It’s been an hour and I have made no progress
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 9 Dec 2023
    it looks more like something is wrong with your neovim install rather than your config. based on this lazy.nvim issue you may have an updated neovim binary but your neovim runtime files are not up to date. try completely reinstalling neovim.
  • Do I need NeoVIM?
    11 projects | /r/neovim | 7 Dec 2023
    It is possible to manage plugins yourself, but I would recommend a plugin manager such as Lazy (https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim). There are many more plugins that most would argue are virtually essential, but these should at least be able to get you some autocompletion and highlighting without too much messing about. Be sure to read the install instructions for each of these plugins!
  • neorg problem, all other plugins deactivate when added to init.lua

    whenever i add this: ``` -- bootstrap lazy.nvim local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim" if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", "--branch=stable", -- latest stable release lazypath, }) end vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)
  • Ansible-based dotfiles with fancy nvchad-based neovim + tmux setup
    4 projects | /r/dotfiles | 23 Oct 2023
    Easily updatable. Versions are stored in manifests and can be easily updated with a single command. neovim's lazy-lock.json however is managed separately by lazy.
  • Packages only work when I install a new one
