neoscroll.nvim VS nix-darwin-dotfiles

I use [neoscroll](https://github.com/karb94/neoscroll.nvim) for scrolling. I use : and L for scrolling. So I added below keymap configs to lua/config/keymaps.lua. First I removed existing mappings and added the mappings. However L works as expected while : doesn't work at all. Weirdly enough, semicolon ; which I have mapped to colon : stops working and I had to resort to to quit.

karb94/neoscroll.nvim or echasnovski/mini.map for scrollbar ui

neoscroll seems to pass in a string of keybinds through vim.cmd.exec([[normal! ]] .. [[insert keybinds here]] .. [["]])

If you want smooth scrolling on a per line basis, use neoscroll or something.

i assume the smooth scrolling is neoscroll but could be some other plugin

This snippet might interest you if you like the idea of centering after / , but also like the smooth-scroll plugin neoscroll. Now you can combine them together.

Neovim has Neoscroll to replace jump scrolls with smooth scrolling:

There is a Helix issue (and poll, see last comment) requesting the same feature you could vote on:

https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/1671

There is also neoscroll

https://github.com/karb94/neoscroll.nvim is all that you need.

Editor - I use a modified version of nx-ace, its essentially just the ace/cloud9 editor with a few personal tweaks https://github.com/shaunsingh/nix-darwin-dotfiles/blob/main/configs/nyxt/ace.lisp. Then I can launch grip in a panel buffer for a markdown preview

You can view my config here: https://github.com/shaunsingh/vimrc-dotfiles/tree/main/.config/nvim, if you want examples of what's described in this post. My config is fully lua, and starts up in about 9ms as per --startuptime

Yes and no. Neovim itself won't load any faster, but there are tools that work better with lua (e.g. packer.nvim). You can also pull some tricks to make neovim load faster (see https://github.com/shaunsingh/vimrc-dotfiles/blob/main/.config/nvim/init.lua)

Nothing related to this bug but you have useless stuff in packerInit.lua.

Here's how I do it: Piecing out the config: https://github.com/shaunsingh/vimrc-dotfiles/tree/main/.config/nvim/lua

Instead of VSNIP I switched to luasnip. You can see my installation here (https://github.com/shaunsingh/vimrc-dotfiles/blob/ea94504185b7315259c901c89fc8cf4bc11ebaf6/.config/nvim/lua/pluginList.lua#L78) and my configuration with nvim-compe here (https://github.com/shaunsingh/vimrc-dotfiles/blob/main/.config/nvim/lua/compe-completion.lua)

And it doesn't look like im setting guifont anywhere. Heres my init.vim in case something else looks off: https://github.com/shaunsingh/vimrc/blob/main/init.vim
