dotfiles VS nvim

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.

You might want to check out OPs dotfiles https://github.com/milanglacier/nvim, they showcase what you can do with computational notebooks such as quarto right inside of neovim (https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-nvim) very well.

I also have a config (at the branch windows/vscode) that focuses specifically on using vscode-neovim on windows.

my config is here, remember to switch to the Windows/vscode branch.

Here is my config and the [commit change](03f660607188c4f0395bb95ce63b338a7c46e6f5) you can take a reference from.

Here is my config on windows for using neovim with vscode-neovim plugin: my config, when I am using windows, I just want things simple.

I used vscode-neovim extension too, you can check my config for what I did for integration between neovim and vscode (and I use vscode only for jupyter notebook now, I do rest things via neovim) my config

See my own nvim config files line 49-85 line 108-109 if you are switching but also missing the smart_scroll in lspsaga.
