How to override the colors of NeoSolarized in NeoVim
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
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
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.

Pimp your CLI
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
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?
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
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
