guess-indent.nvim VS NvChad

Instead of setting setlocal tabstop=2 shiftwidth=2 softtabstop=2 in each file, I recommend using the following plugin: guess-indent.nvim. It provides automatic indentation style detection for Neovim, which can simplify the process.

The fantastic nmac427/guess-indent.nvim package is used to automatically detect the indentation scheme when a file is opened.

In addition to editorconfig, which other comments have mentioned, there are also plugins that can set your indentation options based on the presence of tabs or spaces in the files you have open. I like guess-indent.nvim.

I use a combination of guess-indent.nvim and :h listchars. Here's how I use them together in my config.

If you want to have a different indentation based on the current file context, take a look at this plugin: https://github.com/NMAC427/guess-indent.nvim

I'd add guess-indent to that list as well, if you're working on a project that doesn't have a set standard on indentation.

I use this plugin guess-indent.nvim

NvChad

If you use Android device, you can try Termux , and in Termux I recommend NavChad as IDE . You can also find a lot of other useful packages .

git clone https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad $HOME\AppData\Local\nvim --depth 1 && nvim # if the above path doesnt work, try any of these paths : %LOCALAPPDATA%\nvim %USERPROFILE%AppDataLocal\nvim C:Users%USERNAME%AppDataLocal\nvim

line 1: you would have to copy it and remove all the nvchad keymaps and additionally reformat your keymaps to adopt this format. for example, if you copied the file in the link to lua/user/mappings.lua I believe you can just replace the first line with:

I'm confused as to why this is happenening as I have been able to load LunarVim and NvChad with any problems whatsoever.

I would suggest to start getting into vim by first trying out popular vim keybinding plugins available on your favorite code editor and get used to those first. Then, if you want to dive deeper into the power of Neovim, try out popular configs like LazyVim, LunarVim, NvChad... Taking Neovim from a mere text editor to a full-featured IDE with features like intellisense, debugging, testing, etc... on your own takes quite a lot of work and configuration.
