dotfiles VS nest.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.

However, I will shamelessly plug my plugin nest.nvim which I wrote to have a nice API to manage keymaps in Lua :-)

(shamelessplug) nest.nvim supports binding lua functions directly while also cleaning up your kenind code ;-) (/shamelessplug)

I will shamelessly plug my plugin nest.nvim here - it is a small lua utility to set your keybinds in lua config in a nice syntax. It also supports binding lua functions.

A few other plugins exist that provide similar functionality, like nest.nvim and nvim-cartographer, but what differentiates Mapx is that my goal was to build upon and improve Vim's familiar style of creating mappings that many of us are used to.

I just released version 1.1 of nest.nvim, adding several new core features:

(shameless plug) May I recommend nest.nvim to manage your keybinds in Lua? :-) (/shameless plug)

nest.nvim ;-P

While that cannot work for "normal" bindings when you pass `expr`, I could actually handle that special case (`expr` + `lua` rhs) within nest.nvim pretty easily 🤔
