💤 Neovim Dotfiles

My Neovim configuration files, built on top of LazyVim. Makes Neovim an actual usable IDE.

The main goal of this setup is to reach somewhat feature parity with VSCode's Intellisense features (in other words, to be at least as productive as in VSCode).

Installation

Ensure you have the latest version of Neovim installed, and remove or backup your existing settings. Install tree-sitter-cli with either cargo or npm, and ensure npm and tree-sitter-cli are on your PATH.

rm -rf ~/.config/nvim
mv ~/.nvim ~/.nvim.bak

# with npm (or pnpm, bun, yarn)
npm install --global tree-sitter-cli

# with cargo
cargo install tree-sitter-cli

Then, clone this repository into where Neovim is expecting configuration files (usually ~/.config/nvim).

git clone https://github.com/couscousdude/neovim-dots ~/.config/nvim

Launch Neovim and it should automatically setup lazy.nvim and install all plugins.

You can install LSPs for new languages by running :MasonInstall <language> and Treesitter parsers with :TSInstall <language>.

Set up Copilot with :Copilot setup and follow the instructions (or remove it by going to the LazyVim "Extras" section and uninstalling it. You can replace it with Codeium or Tab9).

Set up Wakatime with :WakaTimeApiKey (or uninstall it by removing its entry from nvim/lua/plugins/extras.lua).

Check the LazyVim documentation for more information on the rest of the features and plugins.

Non-exhaustive list of changes on top of LazyVim

• More LSP configuration
  • typescript-tools.nvim to replace typescript-language-server from Mason, to reduce crashes and improve performance.
• tailwind-fold to fold long CSS classnames
• vim-wakatime to track time spent coding.
• Made background transparent and increased some colors to increase contrast (line numbers, etc).
• Add presence.nvim for Discord Rich Presence integration.
• Add Arch logo to the dashboard (page that initially opens if you type nvim) (did I mention I use Arch btw).
• Fix various annoyances with plugins:
  • Disable duplicate TS error reports from tsserver and typescript-language-server.
  • Rebind window resizing to use the <alt> key instead of <ctrl> because it conflicts with macOS window change shortcuts.
  • Configure notification plugin (noice.nvim) to suppress "No information available" when triggering hover (this is to prevent tailwind-language-server from showing this message on every hover when editing files containing both Tailwind and other languages with LSPs, such as .svelte).
• Move neo-tree to the right side of the screen by default (life changing).
