Neovim Config

Provide guidance for managing Neovim configuration in this dotfiles repository.

Configuration Overview

This Neovim setup uses:

• Lua-based configuration with init.lua as the entry point
• lz.n for lazy loading plugin management
• nvim-lspconfig with native vim.lsp.enable() for LSP
• conform.nvim for formatting
• blink.cmp for completion

Common Tasks

Adding a New Plugin

Add to the appropriate category file in lua/plugins/ using lz.n format:

{
  "plugin-name",
  event = { "BufReadPre", "BufNewFile" },
  after = function()
    require("plugin-name").setup({
      -- Plugin configuration
    })
  end,
}

See examples/new-plugin.lua for complete examples including:

• Event-based, filetype-based, and key-based lazy loading
• Dependencies and conditional enabling

Adding an LSP Server

Edit lua/plugins/lsp.lua:

for _, ls in pairs({
  -- Existing servers...
  "new_lsp_server",
}) do
  vim.lsp.enable(ls)
end

For custom server configuration:

if ls == "new_server" then
  vim.lsp.config(ls, {
    settings = { ... },
  })
end

See references/lsp-configuration.md for the full server list and detailed configuration options.

Adding a Formatter

Edit lua/plugins/lsp.lua in the conform.nvim setup:

require("conform").setup({
  formatters_by_ft = {
    -- Existing formatters...
    python = { "black", "isort" },
  },
})

See references/formatters.md for conditional formatters and advanced configuration.

Modifying Completion

Edit lua/plugins/completion.lua for blink.cmp settings.

See references/completion.md for keymap customization and source configuration.

Adding Keymaps

Global keymaps - Edit lua/keymaps.lua:

vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>xx", function()
  -- Action
end, { desc = "Description" })

LSP keymaps - Modify the LspAttach autocmd in lua/plugins/lsp.lua.

Key Conventions

• Leader: Space
• ; and :: Swapped for easier command mode
• jj: Exit insert mode
• LSP: gd (definition), gr (references), K (hover), <leader>ca (code action)

Configuration Notes

1. Out-of-Store Symlinks: Edits apply immediately without Nix rebuild
2. Format on Save: Enabled by default (1 second timeout)
3. Backup Directory: Unused configs stored in lua/plugins/backup/

Troubleshooting

:LspInfo          " Check LSP status
:checkhealth      " General health check
:ConformInfo      " Check formatter status
