dotfiles VS nvim

Oh you'd still use a Git repository (e.g. like I do here), stow just takes care of creating the necessary symbolic links (and skipping those that already exist).

I experimented a bit with running rust-analyzer under Bubblewrap when using it through NeoVim's LSP integration (see here). Overall it's doable, but it's a tedious process of finding out what needs to write and where, what capabilities you need, etc. I don't see this seeing adoption unless it becomes a first-class feature of the tool in question.

You can also use Bubblewrap, but getting it up and running requires a lot more fiddling around. For example, this is what I use to isolate Zoom from the rest of my system: https://gitlab.com/yorickpeterse/dotfiles/-/blob/0a0492c78b6...

In my case I'm using Bubblewrap because Firejail was only used for Zoom, and this felt a bit of a waste considering Bubblewrap was already installed.

This is implemented using some custom Lua code.

There's no first-class API for this. I use this setup. This is OK, though I only have two abbreviations, and it does feel a bit overkill for just that.

I've been using neovim-remote for quite some time, and it works perfectly fine. Here is what I use to open NeoVim as usual outside of an existing NeoVim session, and inside the existing session whenever I run nvim from NeoVim's terminal emulator.

You can use this code I wrote for that. You then hook it up like this.

Adjust the icons LSP uses for various symbol types like this. If you leave this out, you need to adjust these lines to use the correct text/icons instead.

The documentation is there, but it's a bit lacking/confusing here and there. It's also mostly foundational work, and you still need to cobble things together (either manually or using a plugin).

With that said, you can build things quite nicely with it. For example, I have a custom linter setup, custom loclist/quickfix list formatting and populating from LSP data, and a bunch of other things; all using the foundational work coming in NeoVim 0.5.

If anybody is curious, you can find my NeoVim configuration here: https://gitlab.com/yorickpeterse/dotfiles/-/tree/master/dotf...

p.s. In case anybody wonders "why Lua?", for me this mostly comes down to this: I hate Lua, but I hate Vimscript even more.

personal nvim

I wish every vimer could have their own configuration instead of using some huge configuration. This is not the right way to use neovim I think. Most people don't have time to invest in neovim due to work or other reason, and recently I've found that many people are interested in my configuration glepnir/nvim . But it has too many of my personal habits and my own hacks. Some less experienced vimers have a hard time reading it. Combine these reasons. I removed some of my hacks and made Fernvim. You only need to install the plugin you want and configure some keys to quickly use neovim

If anyone is interested to improve loading time of nvim lua config, check out https://github.com/glepnir/nvim. I adopted this structure and now all plugins are lazy-loaded. 37 plugins in 70ms.
