nyx VS vim-plug

Here is a link to my dotfiles managed by nix. My setup is well structured and commented for others. It also has a lot of useful lua libraries and extensions functions that might be useful for others.

The right file tree is nvim-tree. The status line at the top is called a tabline. The tabline I am using is tabby.nvim. I do use tmux as well but this picture does not have a tmux session attached. You can find my configuration for tabby here. For my statusline I use feline and you can find my configuration for feline here. Note that for both tabline and statusline my config generates its own highlight groups based on my current theme. This is done here

You can check out my config here. The relevant sections are reload.lua and bootstrap.lua.

If you are interested in the complete setup you can find my config here: nyx. For the individual action components (as of time of writing):

If you would like to see a more complete setup/structure of a nix configuration you can check out mine: nyx

I was able to get something to work. For those who stumble upon this here is an example nyx

You can use flakes and home-manager. If you want an example of how to structure/setup your configuration you can check mine EdenEast/nyx. My configuration defines my nixos machines, darwin machines, and generic home-manager output (used for things like wsl).

Current config [nix](https://github.com/edeneast/nyx)

If you are looking for an example of a fully lua configuration that I hope is well structured you can check out my neovim config nyx

I also generate highlight groups based on the current colorscheme. I do this for my feline status line and tabby bar. You can see that in my config.

vim-plug

Did you really install VimTeX? Did you run :PlugInstall? Ensure you installed and set up vim-plug correctly (https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug). If VimTeX is installed, it should be installed to '~/.vim/plugged', thus you can open a terminal, then cd ~/.vim/plugged/vimtex and you should find the files there.

If you're determined to use vim for some reason, I'd suggest checking out vim-plug: https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug. Quite useful for installing and maintaining all of the plugins that you're going to need to get vim to provide even a subset of the features offered by modern editors.

I encourage you to add plugins to your vim (tip: use vim-plug). Use vimawesome.com for inspiration.

Personally, I like https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug

But the plugin manager https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug can also install from offline sources, without accessing Github:

To get started, simply install the plugin using your favorite plugin manager, such as vim-plug or packer.nvim. You can find detailed installation instructions in the README.

Not sure if Vundle did anything particularly fancy, but I'm using vim-plug [0] and have no complaints. It stays out of my way to the point that I had to look at my .vimrc just now to make sure that's what I was using.

I chose to move on to vim-plug and can report it was a simple switch from Vundle.
