treesitter for highlighting
Plugins: Lspsaga, bufferline, lualine, nvim-tree, vimspector, todotree ...
colorscheme : catppuccin
Neovide recommended

Plugins and Lsps and Highlighting

Plugins

The most important

:w => In plugins-setup.lua to write the file and auto update neovim plugins
Remember to call :MasonUpdate first time entering neovim, else there won't be any packages showing in the Mason panel
Be sure to install Meslo font to show icons properly (If you are using iterm2, just install oh my zsh, and follow the instructions)

Lsps

:Mason => Install Lsps(g? for help)
All configs in this folder
special setup for Rust development
I write C/C++ code a lot so I have special clangd setup as well, you can also modify it freely in this file

Syntax highlighting

:TSInstall => Install tree-sitter highlighting for specific language
Configs in treesitter.lua
