## Installation
Download these files into `~/.config/nvim/`
## Screenshots
Opening neovim you'll see the traditional screen + you can see the which-key
plugin is available:
> \[!TIP\]
> The `` key is `\`.\
> A single `` is for "searching".\
> A double `` is for other types of actions.\
> See the which-key output for each to understand what's available.
LSP support for Go and Rust + custom lualine implementation + breadcrumb trail
in the winbar:
A mini-map can be activated via key mapping:
A traditional file structure navigation is available + LSP diagnostics shown:
An AST navigation view for the symbols in the file is available:
Telescope is used heavily for searching for all sorts of data:
The quickfix workflow is also improved via a plugin:

### ftdetect
Determines the filetype of a buffer when it's first opened.
- Global: `$VIMRUNTIME/ftdetect/.vim` or `*.lua`.
- User-defined: `~/.config/nvim/ftdetect/.vim` or `*.lua`
> \[!NOTE\]
> `ftdetect` doesn’t have an `after/` equivalent because once the filetype is
> set, it doesn't need to be adjusted again.
### ftplugin
Configures buffer-local settings after the filetype is detected and set by
ftdetect.
- Global: `$VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/.vim` or `*.lua`.
- User-defined: `~/.config/nvim/ftplugin/.vim` or `*.lua`.
- After defined: `~/.config/nvim/after/ftplugin/.vim` or `*.lua`.
> \[!NOTE\]
> Files in `/after/ftplugin/` are sourced after the regular `ftplugin` files.
> This allows overriding or extending previous filetype configurations without
> directly modifying them.
### spell
The `spell/` directory stores custom spelling dictionaries for different
languages or locales. It allows you to add custom words to the spellchecker
without modifying Neovim’s default spell files.
- `en.utf-8.add`: This is the plain-text list of additional words you’ve added
to the spellchecker.
- `en.utf-8.add.spl`: This is the compiled spell file generated from the `.add`
file, which helps speeds up spellchecking.
> \[!TIP\]
> Hover over a misspelled word and press `zg` to add it to the custom
> dictionary. The word gets saved to `~/.config/nvim/spell/en.utf-8.add`.
> Alternatively, type `z=` to see suggestions.
> \[!TIP\]
> An optional (but recommended) step is to compile the spell file:\
> `mkspell ~/.config/nvim/spell/en.utf-8.add`
### syntax
The `syntax/*.vim` or `*.lua` files define syntax highlighting rules for
different filetypes.
- Global: `$VIMRUNTIME/syntax/.vim` or `*.lua`.
- User-defined: `~/.config/nvim/syntax/.vim` or `*.lua`.
- After defined: `~/.config/nvim/after/syntax/.vim` or `*.lua`.
### after
When you install plugins with `lazy.nvim` (or `packer`, `vim-plug`, etc.), those
plugins typically place their configuration files in:
```plain
~/.local/share/nvim/lazy//
```
These plugin files live in the global runtime path (`$VIMRUNTIME`) and are
sourced automatically by Neovim.
Files in `/after/` are sourced after plugin files, allowing you to:
- Override plugin settings (like buffer options, keymaps).
- Add extra configurations that build on top of the plugin’s defaults.
- Fix incompatibilities between plugins or conflicts in configuration.
As an example, when configuring an LSP server, you would have your setup code
in:
```plain
~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/lsp.lua
```
While adding any LSP specific modifications into:
```plain
~/.config/nvim/after/plugin/lsp.lua
```
So `.setup()` calls configure plugins globally, whereas `ftplugin` is
filetype-specific. If you place `.setup()` in `ftplugin/`, it will only run when
a file of that type is opened, which can lead to incomplete or missing
configurations.
