Dr.MuteSTEVE Neovim config 📝

By Dr.MuteSTEVE

Intro

Hello there 👋 I'm an 18 years old digital minimalist and i love Neovim , GNU/Linux and UNIX in general ♥️
I use Neovim for everything from learn to code, learn a project and taking daily notes 🗒️
I have no intention to get into IT job 💼 i just love learning new things as hobby and life experience
My configuration is original and not based on any neovim distro for the sake of minimalist

UNIX Philosophy based configuation🐧

• KISS (Less plugins = less breaking)
• Minimalism (Simply the nature of UNIX application)
• YAGNI (Use full-blown IDE, DON'T MAKE NEOVIM BLOATED)

You're probably soydev vscode spyware user called Microsoft windows 🪟 literally Nineteen Eighty-Four 👁️

Structure ⛓️

Functions should do one thing. They should do it well. They should do it only
~ Robert C. Martin, Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship

My configuration follow the clean code principle, that's why i break down everything into their own smaller respective module. Instead of traditional one big chunk of init.lua file

I use Lazy loading 💤 technic to load all the plugins, so it won't feel heavy as i jumped through different file because of the pluins trigger activation. You can find it online on how to lazy load neovim plugins with lazy.nvim or just read the docs of lazy.nvim or if you are suffered from tiktok brainrot that has tremendous little attention span you can do the following in your Lazy configuration:

-- lazy.lua ⚡
require("lazy").setup({
  spec = {
    -- It won't work if you have subdirectory, like lua/plug/something/
    -- Only works under one child directory of lua/
    { import = "lsp" }, 
    { import = "plug" },
  }
)

Plugins 🧰

I only use the most bare minimum to get a perfect yet simple neovim configuration
There are however, the Honored plugins that are just so good that i can't live without

• ⌛ Auto-session a small automated session manager for Neovim (use for restoring tmux session)
• 🐙 Gitsigns Git integration for buffers
• 📖 Markdown-preview markdown previewer plugin for (neo)vim
• 🌲 Nvim-treesitter nvim Treesitter configurations and abstraction layer
• 🦄 Nvim-web-devicons lua fork of vim-web-devicons for neovim
• 🪨 Obsidian.nvim obsidian 🤝 Neovim (Obsidian.md markdown editor implementation in neovim)
• 🎨 Rose-pine soho vibes for Neovim (the colorscheme that i use)

Honored Plugins that i can't live without

• 📦 Mason.nvim Portable package manager for Neovim that runs everywhere Neovim runs.
  • Mason-lspconfig.nvim Extension to mason.nvim that makes it easier to use lspconfig with mason.nvim Easily install and manage LSP servers, DAP servers, linters, and formatters
• 🌏 Nvim-lspconfig quickstart configs for Nvim LSP
• 📝 Nvim-cmp a completion plugin for neovim coded in Lua
  • Cmp-buffer nvim-cmp source for buffer words
  • Cmp-cmdline nvim-cmp source for vim's cmdline
  • Cmp-luasnip luasnip completion source for nvim-cmp
    • 📎 Luasnip snippet Engine for Neovim written in Lua
    • 📎 Friendly-snippets set of preconfigured snippets for different languages
  • Cmp-nvim-lsp nvim-cmp source for neovim's built-in language server client
  • Cmp-nvim-lua nvim-cmp source for neovim Lua API
  • Cmp-path nvim-cmp source for filesystem paths
• 🔭 Telescope Find, Filter, Preview, Pick. All lua, all the time

Bonus 💥

Did you know that lazy.nvim has builtin float term API, yes you can actually use it for something like terminal or lazygit whatever your shell command is By utilizing require("lazy.util").float_term, you can make cool floating terminal to do all kind of things like:

• ranger 📂 inside of neovim, eliminates the needs of file browser plugins

local map = vim.keymap.set
local float_term = require("lazy.util").float_term
map("n", "<leader>r", function()
    float_term("ranger")
  end)

• lazygit 💤 to use git with floating UI window

local map = vim.keymap.set
local float_term = require("lazy.util").float_term
map("n", "<leader>g", function()
    float_term("lazygit")
  end)
map("n", "<leader>lg", function()
    float_term("lazygit")
  end)
map("n", "<leader>ll", function()
    float_term({ "lazygit", "log" })
  end)

• ncmpcpp 🎵to listen music

local map = vim.keymap.set
local float_term = require("lazy.util").float_term
map("n", "<leader>m", function()
    float_term("ncmpcpp")
  end)

• zsh shell 🐌 if i need to do simple things with floating shell

local map = vim.keymap.set
local float_term = require("lazy.util").float_term
map("n", "<leader>t", function()
    float_term("zsh")
  end)

Yes i indeed use picom to make a beautiful ✨ transparent window and tmux for terminal multiplexer
