My personal dotfiles and dotfiles installer project (by mikeslattery)

My neovim configuration, as it is my weapon of choice. Setting it up for nim-lang was a priority, autocompletion and navigation. (by Rosen-Popov)

    Yes there is and just makes it so for insert mode and search and stuff. I made this for myself with the same issue: https://github.com/rdpopov/nvim/blob/master/configs/lang.vim

    Aight, here you go. I have some modifications i have made for me, that might be useful. Some of the photos are outdated, statusline very much so, i use something plain and clean of weird characters. But it works for generic text editing as well. https://github.com/rdpopov/nvim. Strongly recommend tmux too

    You could try this as an alternative to sneak - phaazon/hop.nvim. And im not sure what the grep plugin does but vim has grep integrated. I use it like a ripgrep though. Look into liuchengxu/vista.vim if you haven't, it kinda does like an outline and does not require an lsp( but it can use it) so its more versatile. Look into undotree if that is something that might interest you, it's useful, and maybe set up persistent undo and undodir. Since there is someone else that said about native lsp.. I'll just say its way easier to set up a language server to work correctly. Another cool plugin to use is ray-x/navigator.lua, used it mainly to look at references but it's got more uses. I find airline to slow startup time so if you are experiencing a slowdown thats a possible culprit. Here is my config, steal if you want to. neovim
