.config VS NvChad

I've done my best to keep my config simple and sane: https://github.com/heygarrett/.config/tree/main/nvim

One option the docs don't list is using an autocommand, which is what I do because I overrule the indentation options for all file types.

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

I even wrote my own autocmd for auto-completion, which was a lot of fun and helped me learn a lot about Neovim. Together with nvim-snippy it meets all of my needs (so far).

I'm late to the party, but I did configure my statusline without a plugin: - Screenshot - Config

I added an autocmd to make it automatic.

I learned a lot, and I created my own automated workflow for sessions that I’m quite happy about. I think the best part is it may not cover every use case I encounter, which means I get to keep learning and I get to become more familiar with a tool I use daily.

I use this in my custom statusline config, which you can see here.

This is how I currently configure my indentation. The autocmd overrides anything set by the ftplugin files during startup, and that's the easiest method I've found keep my preferences across every file type.

I think the built-in filetype plugin files are sourced after your vimrc. I got around this by adding an autocmd to re-set my indentation preferences after the ftplugins are loaded.

The default mappings are defined here.

lazy.nvim is the most popular plugin manager of Neovim. Typical Neovim distributions, such as LazyVim or NvChad, use lazy.nvim in base, so many users use lazy.nvim without knowing it. Here I wrote one point advice to use lazy.nvim.

After a short chat with my colleague I began with NvChad, a preconfigured setup that promised a modern UI and essential plugins. It provided a solid foundation, but the real magic happened when I started customizing it to suit my needs.

My first attempt at a distro was NvChad. NvChad is well-liked, polished, and a really good place to start. I know as of this writing, Rakesh is still flying high with NvChad and enjoys it very much. Something about it felt too proprietary though. Custom loaders, dealing with packages in certain ways, and that sort of thing. I wanted something prebuilt but felt more like KickStart in that plugin adds and configurations felt more Neovim "native".

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 .
