The switch was hard at first, especially file management. I was so used to the file tree on the left of my editor. I tried to replicate that in Neovim with nvim-tree but it didn’t feel the same. Until I came across oil.nvim, this was a game changer for me as it made creating, renaming and moving so much easier. That was the moment that I felt I could switch. I had tried a few of the popular Neovim distros such as Lunarvim but found them too overwhelming. I personally prefer a basic setup with not too many bells and whistles (I know, I used JetBrains before but only used 10% of that editor’s capacity and had a minimal interface configured).

AstroNvim
AstroNvim is an aesthetic and feature-rich neovim config that is extensible and easy to use with a great set of plugins
You can definitely put all of your configuration into a single file for AstroNvim if you want.
In the docs it shows the minimal configuration to get AstroNvim running which is <10 lines in your ~/.config/init.lua file and then anything else you can just drop in that same file if you want. (https://github.com/AstroNvim/AstroNvim?tab=readme-ov-file#mi...)
Here is a user on GitHub that has a single file AstroNvim configuration: https://github.com/20k-ultra/dotfiles/blob/master/nvim/init....

Project mention: Ask HN: Programmers who don't use autocomplete/LSP, how do you do it? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-23
Not really, as I have API keys and other stuff in it unprotected. However, I used this as a base (https://github.com/ayamir/nvimdots) and heavily modified it. There is a user directory (lookup the user_template) where you can config everything out of the base.

When I was trying to find a way to switch between colorschemes, I discovered Themery.nvim a colorscheme switcher with a live preview. It's an amazing plugin at its job, but I found it a bit annoying that I need to add my colorscheme to my plugin manager and then add it to a colorscheme switcher. So I made my own plugin to solve this problem!
