My Personalized Development Environment

To prevent myself from going down wild Linux rabbit holes and trying every distribution I can get my hands on, I've transcended into an Apple chad. Therefore, this configuration may require changes to work in a Linux environment.

Mandatory Software:

• neovim
• tmux
• yabai & skhd
• ripgrep
• fzf
• zsh

Optional Software: (Warning: you may have to remove some alises / plugins if these are not installed)

• bat
• eza
• zoxide
• todoist_helper
• neofetch
• tmate
• btop
• alacritty terminal
• zoxide
• nerd fonts for devicons to display in nvim-tree
  • for instance, brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts && brew install --cask font-commit-mono-nerd-font, and added to your terminal (see ./alacrity/config.yml)
• cmake brew install cmake or else the installation of telescopes fzf plugin will fail
• fd as an optional dependency of telescope, used in telescope.lua
• gpgtools for signing commits. (Note: instead of symlinking git/.gitconfig, copy it instead as you'll need to add a signingkey)

File Structure:

Most files in this repo are structured so that you can symlink the directory directly into ~/.config, except for a few that need to live in different places such as zshrc.

Neovim Plugins:

Using lazy.nvim as a plugin manager, here are the plugins used:

• goolord/alpha-nvim for the dashboard (see the asciis in utils)
• telescope.nvim for fuzzy finding
• nvim-treesitter for code parsing etc
• rose-pine/neovim as a colour scheme. an equivalent is used for tmux and alacritty themes too
• mason.nvim is used in conjunction with lsp-zero to manage your different LSPs
• lsp-zero.nvim to use NeoVim's LSP client
• harpoon is used for silky smooth file movement
• undotree for all your accidental undo's
• vim-fugitive for git within vim
• vim-rhubarb primarily just for :GBrowse - going to the file you're in, in your browser
• copilot.vim to let robots do our work for us
• nvim-tree.lua for a better than nerdtree experience
• nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons for icons
• lualine.nvim a good looking statusline
• Comment.nvim to comment out your broken code
• nvim-surround to surround whatever you want, with whatever you want
• conform.nvim to enable formatters such as eslint

Notable Settings:

• Line numbers and relative numbers are turned on.
• Line wrapping is turned off.
• The grep program for searching is set to ripgrep.
• Trailing whitespace is automatically stripped on buffer write.

Binds:

General:

• <leader> is set to <Space>
• <leader>sp will spell the previous word correctly.
• n and N after a search will reposition the cursor to the center of the screen for better visibility.
• J combines the next line with the current line, ensuring the cursor remains at the beginning of the combined line.
• <C-d> and <C-u> scroll half a screen down or up while keeping the cursor position fixed.
• <leader><Enter> clears the search highlight.
• J (Visual Mode) and K (Visual Mode) move the selected lines down (J) or up (K) in visual mode.
• <leader>y and <leader>Y yank the current line (<leader>y) or from the cursor to the end of the line (<leader>Y) to the system clipboard.
• <leader>p and <leader>d paste (<leader>p) or delete (<leader>d) without copying to the buffer.
• <leader>f formats the current buffer using the LSP (Language Server Protocol).
• <C-k> and <C-j> navigate through the quickfix list, ensuring the cursor position is centered.
• <leader> + h,j,k,l move your cursor to different windows.
• <leader>s performs a case-insensitive search and replace across the entire buffer, prompting for confirmation.
• <leader>r toggles relative line numbers.
• K (Normal Mode) to show documentation.
• <leader>+ and <leader>- vertically enlarge or reduce a pane.

A random list of handy vim commands

Plugin-Specific Keybinds:

• Copilot:

  • In insert mode, <C-L> will complete the suggestion.

• Fugitive:

  • <leader>gs will open git in nvim.
  • <leader>gdf will open a git diff of the current file.

• Harpoon:

  • <leader>a will add to the list.
  • <leader>e will open the list. This is changeable using general vim motions, such as deleting or moving a line below.

• Rhubarb:

  • <leader>gb will open the browser to the current file.

• Surround:

  • ys{motion}{wrapper} will surround with the {wrapper} variable. This also works in visual mode.

• Telescope:

  • Use \ for a fuzzy project word search.
  • <C-T> to search files.
  • <C-P> to search files that aren't in git.
  • <leader>b to browse your buffer files.
  • Pressing tab to select from the list, then following with <C-q> will open a quickfix list

• Tree:

  • <leader>nn to open the file tree.
  • <leader>nf to find the current file in the tree. Use a to add files, d to delete, and r to rename from the tree.

• Undotree:

  • <leader>u to open undotree.

LSPs (Language Server Protocols):

By default, the following LSPs will be installed:

• tsserver for typescript.
• eslint for eslint.
• solargraph for ruby.
• lua_ls for lua.
• tailwindcss for tailwind.
• rust_analyzer for rust.
• gopls for golang.
• jsonls for json.
• emmet_ls for emmet html.

Bindings:

• Pressing Tab (or Shift-Tab) completes your LSP suggestions.
• Pressing <Enter> populates the currently selected tab.
• [g and ]g will go to the previous and next diagnostics error respectively.
• gd will go to definition.
• <leader>gr will go to references.
• <leader>cr will rename the currently highlighted variable.
• <leader>vca will display code actions.
• <leader>cf will apply the quickfix code action.

Additionally, use <C-Space> to open the completion menu if it's not automatically open.

Aliases:

Zsh

A full list of zsh aliases live under ./zsh/aliases.zsh, but here are a few:

• vi and vim are aliased to nvim.
• ga and gaa alias git add for staging changes for either a specified file or all unstaged files.
• gap prompts for interactive staging with git add -p.
• gb shows the Git branch, and gc initiates a Git commit.
• gca combines git add . and git commit.
• gco is a shortcut for git checkout.
• gcob allows you to interactively switch Git branches.
• gpushb, gbd, gpullb, and gmergeb streamline branch operations.
• gp simplifies the Git push command.
• gf and gfa alias Git fetch commands.
• gst provides a concise Git status with untracked files.
• egst shows modified files with git status and opens them in Neovim.
• CTRL-T will search for files from the command line with fzf
• ESC-C (ALT-C on Linux) will search for directories from the command line, and selecting one will place you in the directory

Tmux

See the tmux config in ./tmux/.tmux.conf, here are a few helpful aliases:

• <C-b> is the prefix
• <prefix>[ to open vi mode within tmux
• <prefix>f to use the tmux-sessionizer script, which will open a project in a new session
• <prefix>f to use the tmux-sessionizer script, which will open a project in a new session
• <prefix>| to split vertically
• <prefix>- to split horizontally

Debugging:

• Check :checkhealth to ensure all plugins are working correctly.
• Use :map or :verbose map <leader>nn (for instance) to check keybinds are being set correctly.
• :lua print(vim.inspect(vim.lsp.buf_get_clients()[1].resolved_capabilities)) to see what the LSP can do
