  • mason.nvim

    Portable package manager for Neovim that runs everywhere Neovim runs. Easily install and manage LSP servers, DAP servers, linters, and formatters.

  • One more though: How can I see which plugins are installed, and how can I download new ones? To get my language servers in place, I used Mason. But I don't see things like plugins (I guess LSPs are not considered plugins?), which I had expected to, so I'm not sure Mason is the correct tool for plugin management. For example, I'd like to check whether my colleague's setup (and thus mine) includes this plugin, and if not, to install it. I could just ask him of course, but he's pretty senior, and I like to maintain an façade of semi-competence at work that constant pestering would shatter ;)

  • nvim-surround

    Add/change/delete surrounding delimiter pairs with ease. Written with :heart: in Lua.
