Always work in progress

To install neovim (0.10) and requirements: Note: you need atleast one c complier (zig, gcc, clang, cc) to properly install treesitter grammers.

• Windows (powershell)

winget install neovim fzf fd git;

• Arch-linux (bash/zsh)

pacman -S neovim fzf fd git gcc;

or use package-manager of your linux distro.

Clone this repo and make backup if already exist Windows:

mv ~/AppData/local/nvim ~/nvim_backup
git clone https://www.github.com/Sreinumder/nvim ~/AppData/local/nvim

Linux:

mv ~/.config/nvim ~/nvim_backup
git clone https://www.github.com/Sreinumder/nvim ~/.config/nvim

Now run nvim. It will attempt to clone all the plugin repositories.

Keymaps for My Config

Summary

• hjkl for basic char movement and alt + h or alt + jkl for moving line/selection.

• H and L for jumping to start and end of line. M for middle of the lineand similarly other layers for multicursor, cloning, treesitter jump to next/prev, child/parent node.

• alt + d for cutting d for deleting. similarly, c and alt + c.

• , and < for syncing vim and clipboard register

• To paste from clipboard, press < and then [p]aste.

• To copy to clipboard, first cop[y] the thing then press >

• fzf-lua binds are mostly f? g? l?

• Space + ff fuzzy find files in cwd

• Space + fw ripgrep the files in cwd (search for word)

• Space + gc git commits to checkout

• Space + ld lsp definition of the symbol under the cursor

Layers of h j k l

I heavily used the hjkl movement keybinds for many things. Below is the explanation

     k         up
   h   l  left    right
     j        down

Mode	Layer	Description	Plugin
normal/visual	None	Character-wise-move	builtin
normal/visual	H/L	Non-whitespace-start/end of line	keybinding
normal/visual	J/K	Default Join and Keywordprg	builtin
normal/visual	alt	Move line	mini.move
visual	Space + alt	Move selection(new line)	keybinding
normal/visual	Shift + alt	Clone line/selection	keybinding
normal/visual	Space + shift + alt	Clone selection(new line)	keybinding
normal/visual	ctrl	Treesitter movement	treewalker.nvim
normal/visual	ctrl + alt	Add multiple cursor	multicursor.nvim
insert/command	alt	Character-wise-move	keybinding

Since, alt h and alt l is basically indentation but more, < and > are free to map.

Register Problem Solution

I used to use system clipboard as the default copy register. But it makes the system clipboard all messy and filled with random lines and code snippets. So to solve it, I am using two bindings that syncs the vim default register (") and system clipboard register (+) I have those mappings

map({"n", "x"}, "<", function() vim.fn.setreg('"', vim.fn.getreg('+')) end, {desc = 'clipboard to vim reg'})
map({"n", "x"}, ">", function() vim.fn.setreg('+', vim.fn.getreg('"')) end, {desc = 'vim reg to clipboard'})

"<" : clipboard to vim register ">" : vim register to clipboard vim <-> clipboard

• I also didnt like how vim always replaced the content of the default register when:
  • char deleting [x]
  • [d]eleting
  • [c]hanging
  • [p]asting on visual mode
• I use '_' black-hole register for them.
• to get default behaviour of placing the content in default register:
  • press for cutting. Similarly, for putting the content of operation on the register.

barbar.nvim

• Tab / Shift-Tab for switching buffer tabs
• Alt+w for closing current
• Alt+W for restoring current
• ;wh to close all in left
• ;wl to close all in right
• ;wec to close all except current

file-explorers

Mini.Files

• Edit the file system.
• "-" for opening it in buffer directory.
• "Space+Space" for opening it in pwd.
• "Alt + hjkl " for moving forward backward up down etc.

Nvim-Tree

• Alt + z for toggling the tree-view

Yazi.nvim

• Alt + e for toggling the yazi floating window.

Arrow.nvim

• "," for jumping/pinning files.
• "m" for jumping/pinning lines.
