• How to properly lazyload heavy plugins
  reddit.com/r/neovim | 2021-05-04

  Can you provide more information on how you are loading vimade? If you're manually marking it as opt and then manually packadding it in your vimrc, you won't get a benefit from any lazy-loading. You might want to see if one of the lazy-loading methods provided by packer (https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim#specifying-plugins) works for your use case.

• Can I require() a plugin from a file that's not init.lua/iniv.vim using vim-plug?
  reddit.com/r/neovim | 2021-05-01

  I've seen people split up their Neovim dotfiles into multiple lua-files. I tried moving my galaxyline config into its own file, but on startup I now get the error module 'galaxyline' not found from that file despite galaxyline being installed. I'm guessing that the problem is that galaxyline is sourced by vim-plug from my init.vim, and the lua-file that I put in ~/.config/nvim/lua/ with my galaxyline config does not find galaxyline since it was sourced from init.vim? How do people solve this? Do I need another package manager lika packer.nvim for this?

  I saw this key bind in coc.nvim nmap gd (coc-definition) . This is for Plug plugin manager but am using packer.nvim. How do I do the same with packer.nvim.

  Look into Customize Initialization. There's key package_root to define plugin path.

• neovim lua config can't install plugins when there's an error.
  reddit.com/r/neovim | 2021-04-10

  I'm using packer.nvim as my plugin manager and I have the bootstrapping function the show on the repo. The problem that I'm facing is that if a put my nvim config files in a new machine, I can see nvim downloading packer just fine but then if I try to install the plugins with something like nvim --headless +PackerInstall +qall (or just opening nvim and running :PackerInstall) it gives errors because my config is calling functions and a colorscheme that doesn't exist yet since those plugins aren't installed. And I wasn't even able to edit my init.lua to stop requiring all the files with the plugins because it wouldn't even let me save a file, I literally had to go and install a different text editor, then edit my init.lua, save it and finally I was able to run :PackerInstall. I don't want to go through all of that every time I put my configs in a new machine.

• Issues with packpath and packer.nvim in lua config
  reddit.com/r/neovim | 2021-03-16

  I'm in the process of transitioning from my old init.vim to init.lua config. Currently I'm stuck because for some reason nvim can't find the 'packer.nvim' directory in its 'packpath'. The exact error message I get is E5113: Error while calling lua chunk: /home/user/.config/nvim/lua/plugins.lua:11: Vim(packadd):E919: Directory not found in 'packpath': "pack/*/opt/packer.nvim"

• Why there isn't more plugins in moonscript?

  They donn't need to be packed in neovim either . If there is a simple enough way of installing them as dependency devlopers will surely use them . Currently packer supports installing luarocks dependcies . It will actually be better if we can utilize lua-libraries as it can be a strength of lua over vimL.
