  • vim-sneak

    The missing motion for Vim :athletic_shoe:

  • imo there are even few plugin authors who actually understand this well, and certainly no distro author does. Some of the few examples of good "vim philosophy" plugins are vim-sneak and vim-unimpaired.

  • vim-unimpaired

    unimpaired.vim: Pairs of handy bracket mappings

  • nvim

  • You can go a long way with your own customizations. My configuration has a few custom elements that I've spoken about in other posts (custom statuscol, highlighting the current repo root in the path in your statusline) or haven't posted about (custom statusline) that I've written myself and stolen parts for from other places.

  • base.nvim

    A baseline Neovim template that anyone can use to build a config all their own

  • I have a base starter config that is very minimal. I designed it to be good starting point for anyone. Check out the Readme and see if it's goals align with your own https://github.com/skbolton/base.nvim

  • Juliet

    a dev setup

  • I have never used LazyVim, but from your description I'd say that it can be very helpful being able to customize your configuration easily. In case you want a base place to start with and go through a bunch of plugins to see what you like or not, here's my config right now https://github.com/avegancafe/Juliet/blob/22775c6b4ae28c2f0f21bac703dad8c0483de053/nvim/init.lua

  • kickstart.nvim

    A launch point for your personal nvim configuration

  • Heavily commented (for anything that isn't obvious at a glance)
