Why the name?

I am glad you asked. Macsimus = e(macs) + v(im) + us. The editor takes inspiration from the best features of emacs and vim and is made for us.

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/sansyrox/macsimus/main/utils/install.sh)

Install Neovim

• Mac

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

• Ubuntu

  Option 1

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/unstable
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install neovim
  

  Option 2

  curl -LO https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/latest/download/nvim.appimage -o /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/sansyrox/macsimus.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
• 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": ["~"]
    }
  }
  

For FAR to work

:UpdateRemotePlugins

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>

Font To Use

I use a custom NERD Patched DankMono Font. But if that is a little expensive for you, FiraCode also works well with the theme.

ToDo

• Try integrating Telescope.nvim

Common Issues

If markdown preview is not working, try doing :call mkdp#util#install()

Contributing Guidelines

This project is a very contribution friendly project. All sorts of contributions are public and are licenced under GPL3 licence. Being said that, I am announcing myself as the T.L.S(The Leader Supreme) of this project.

What does that mean?

I am open to all kinds of discussions but I hold the veto to block/stop them when I feel like they are not adding any value.

Why not a democratic approach(like all my other OSS projects)?

Since this project is very deep integrated with my work flow, I will not accept any request that makes this project slower or makes it even a little unusable for me. However, if you think that there is something that will improve this project feel free to open a PR without any hesitation.

What if someone does not agree with this approach?

I hope you all enjoy the project. Show some appreciation by starring ⭐ the project?
