NVCode

Install in one command

The following will install this config if you have an existing config it will move it to ~/.config/nvim.old

This script only supports Mac, Ubuntu and Arch

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChristianChiarulli/nvim/master/utils/install.sh)

Install Neovim

• Mac

  brew install --HEAD neovim # Nightly version
  
  brew upgrade neovim --fetch-HEAD # Sometimes you need to update
  

• Ubuntu

  curl -l https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/download/nightly/nvim.appimage > /tmp/nvim.appimage
  
  sudo mv /tmp/nvim.appimage /usr/local/bin/nvim
  
  chmod +x /usr/local/bin/nvim
  

• Arch

  yay -S neovim-git # Latest
  

Clone this repo into your config

git clone https://github.com/ChristianChiarulli/nvim.git ~/.config/nvim

Install python & node support

pip install pynvim

npm i -g neovim

Install Neovim remote

pip install neovim-remote

This will install nvr to ~/.local/bin so you will need to add the following to your bashrc or zshrc

export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH

Install clipboard support

• On Mac pbcopy should be builtin

• Ubuntu

  sudo apt install xsel
  

• Arch

  sudo pacman -S xsel
  

(Optional) Install python & node support using virtual environments

Make sure to add these paths somewhere in your config

let g:python3_host_prog = expand("<path to python with pynvim installed>")
let g:python3_host_prog = expand("~/.miniconda/envs/neovim/bin/python3.8") " <- example

let g:node_host_prog = expand("<path to node with neovim installed>")
let g:node_host_prog = expand("~/.nvm/versions/node/v12.16.1/bin/neovim-node-host") " <- example

List of programs you should install

• ranger
• ueberzug
• ripgrep
• silver_searcher
• fd
• universal-ctags
• lazy git
• lazy docker

Explanations and installation instruction can be found on my blog

Language Servers

Since CoC doesn't support all languages in there extensions I recommend installing some language servers from scratch and adding them to your coc-settings.json file

Example:

• bash

  npm i -g bash-language-server

  "languageserver": {
  "bash": {
    "command": "bash-language-server",
    "args": ["start"],
    "filetypes": ["sh"],
    "ignoredRootPaths": ["~"]
    }
  }

TabNine

To use TabNine enter the following in a buffer:

TabNine::config

NOTE This extension can take up a ton of memory

Vim Gists

To use vim-gists you will need to configure the following:

git config --global github.user <username>

VSCodium & Neo Vim Extension

VSCodium contains build files to generate free release binaries of Microsoft's VS Code.

You can install it on multiple platforms:

• Mac

  brew cask install vscodium
  

• Arch

  yay -s vscodium-bin
  

• Snap

  snap install codium
  

The Neo Vim Extension is available in the VSCode marketplace

I recommend using this alongside the VSCode which-key extension

Along with some of my config files you can find in utils/vscode_config

LOW PRIORITY TODO

If anyone reading this has any suggestions about implementing any of the following I will accept a PR, but these are not priority.

• ale
• multiple cursors
• markdown table
• galaxyline automatically grab colors from colorscheme
• tpope/vim-dadbod
• neovide
• People asked about vimwiki I kinda hate it but maybe I'll add it
• vimspector this is included but I don't plan on using it much
  • can be used with jdb, pdb, gdb, etc...
• nvim-dap and nvim-dap-virtual-text (ALL DEBUGGING IN NEOVIM IS CONFUSING AND HARD TO GET WORKING OR I'M JUST DUMB)
• later manually link pylance
• resize with arrows in addition to meta
• how to support meta key on for macOS?
