Neovim config

Neovim from scratch

NOTE: This config of neovim requires version 0.8+ (because of null-ls)

With inspiration from:

• ChristianChiarulli Neovim
• LunarVim from scratch Neovim config
• TJ's Dotfiles
• Code Smells Rust config

All configs found under the lua folder. Keymaps are located under lua/keymaps.lua and lua/lsp/handlers.lua

Pre-requisite

Installing Nvim

See Neovim Quick Start Ubuntu:

Easiest:

# Download
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/tag/nightly
mv ~/Downloads/nvim.appimage ~/nvim.appimage
echo "alias nvim='~/nvim.appimage'" >> ~/.bashrc
chmod u+x ~/nvim.appimage && ~/nvim.appimage

sudo apt-get install ninja-build gettext libtool libtool-bin autoconf automake cmake g++ pkg-config unzip curl doxygen

git clone https://github.com/neovim/neovim ~/neovim
cd ~/neovim && make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
git checkout release-0.8 # stable
sudo make install

Setup and trying this config

Make sure to remove or move your current nvim directory

git clone [e-mail]:MarkusSagen/nvim.git ~/.config/nvim
nvim

Or the full install:

git clone [e-mail]:MarkusSagen/nvim.git ~/.config/nvim
sudo apt install xclip  xsel
pip install pynvim
npm i -g neovim
nvim

Run nvim and wait for the plugins to be installed

NOTE: (You will notice treesitter pulling in a bunch of parsers the next time you open Neovim)

each video will be associated with a branch so checkout the one you are interested in

Uninstall

rm -rf ~/.config/nvim
rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim
rm -rf ~/.cache/nvim

Get healthy

Open nvim and enter the following:

:checkhealth

You'll probably notice you don't have support for copy/paste also that python and node haven't been setup

So let's fix that

First we'll fix copy/paste

• On mac pbcopy should be builtin

• On Ubuntu

  sudo apt install xsel

• On Arch Linux

  sudo pacman -S xsel

Next we need to install python support (node is optional)

• Neovim python support

  pip install pynvim

• Neovim node support

  npm i -g neovim

Fonts

• A nerd font

• codicon

• An emoji font

After moving fonts to ~/.local/share/fonts/

Run: $ fc-cache -f -v

NOTE: (If you are seeing boxes without icons, try changing this line from false to true: link)

Java Debugging and Testing

git clone [e-mail]:microsoft/java-debug.git
cd java-debug/
./mvnw clean install

git clone [e-mail]:microsoft/vscode-java-test.git
cd vscode-java-test
npm install
npm run build-plugin

Install latest rust-analyzer binary

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
curl -L https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/releases/latest/download/rust-analyzer-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.gz | gunzip -c - > ~/.local/bin/rust-analyzer
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/rust-analyzer
