modes.nvim VS dotfiles

How about this plugin ?

hm, I did a similar thing for my heirline.nvim config and replicated modes.nvim, but with my statusline's highlights. code is here.

If you don't mind a plugin, either of these are close to what you want: https://github.com/mvllow/modes.nvim https://github.com/mawkler/modicator.nvim

You can use mvllow/modes.nvim, under the hood it manipulates the 'winhighlight' and 'guicursor' options

Try mvllow/modes.nvim, you can play around with Modes*CursorLine and Modes*CursorLineNr highlight groups

You can also use modes.nvim to achieve similar effect

Maybe this one https://github.com/mvllow/modes.nvim ?

modes.nvim, different highlight for your cursorline based on current mode

i find event = { 'BufReadPre', 'BufNewFile' } is enough

i use a bare git repo that manages files in my $HOME, (two actually, one for both windows and Linux and one just for windows). within my dotfiles i have a script (for only windows right now) that installs everything and sets up ssh for a new machine.

i version both in the same repo. here: https://github.com/pynappo/dotfiles/tree/main/.config/nvim

you can see a more explicit setup in my config without the opts stuff and my server configs here

here was an old version of my dotfiles that did that with lazy

your original code has the correct idea if you wanted to load a script with require() (and it's what i did back when i used packer.nvim), but you're misunderstanding what require("lazy").setup("plugins") does. check the readme again.

you're supposed to have a /lua/plugins/ folder with lua files with your lua specs. like I have my lazy.nvim get it's plugin specs from the /lua/pynappo/plugins folder

anyways my config isn't great but I do use it on windows

basically I have a file that stores all my keymaps grouped into different tables, and I have a tiny helper function that can either set all of those keymaps immediately or convert them into lazy's keys format to be lazy loaded, and then I just refer to the file every time I want to setup keymaps

I do group LSP + neodev + mason into a group of plugins and have a single config for all of them but that's for a combination of readability and because they need to be set up in some order.
