# linguini nvim



Clone this repository on your system's nvim run time path. For Windows, this is located in

`Users//AppData/Local/nvim` (cloning in the `Local` directory will create the nvim directory)



## Fonts



In order to have the correct font, install the [JetBrains Mono Nerd Font][nerd-fonts] from nerdfonts.



Disable ligatures in the terminal's font settings using `font.features.calt = 0` within the `settings.json` file

for the Windows terminal. This should be done under the default profiles.



You will also want to go into `Settings > Defaults > Appearance` and set `Text Formatting` to "Bold font with bright

colours".



For `fire.nvim` to display correctly in the browser, be sure to go into the settings and select the

[JetBrains Mono Nerd Font][nerd-fonts] as the default mono space font.



## Terminal Colours



The terminal colours are recommended to match this config's theme, **gruvbox hard**, for best results. You can find the

hex colour codes [here][gruvbox]



## Compiler



In order to avoid Visual Studio code for clang on Windows (and some annoying side effects of having to specify a target

when compiling), this config uses gcc.



### clangd Nuances



Because clangd requires a `compiler_commands.json` file in order to perform checks accurately, an additional dependency

must be installed to generate this file from Makefile commands (Cmake does this automatically but Makefiles do not).



Many Linux users suggest using [Bear][bear]. On Windows, I found it easiest to use [compiledb][compiledb], a Python

package that works similarly right out of the box. Install it globally with pip and you can generate the compile

commands from a Makefile.



In order to use gcc with clangd and not have errors about missing header files, the best workaround I found was to add

an environment variable called `CLANGD_FLAGS` to the system, with the value `--query-driver=`. This

ensures that clangd knows how to find the header files by querying gcc/g++ and I don't have to include this absolute

path in my configuration in case I end up using clang on Linux or store gcc elsewhere on Windows. Note that gcc/g++ can

be represented in the absolute path as `g*`.



## LaTeX Indenting



This configuration uses `latexindent`, for which you will need to create a file called `.indentconfig` in the home

directory specified by [latexindent's docs][latexident] with the following contents:



```yaml

paths:

  - path/to/nvim/.latexindent.yaml

```



## Fire.nvim Shortcuts



I found it easiest to use the following browser keyboard shortcuts for this `fire.nvim` configuration (using Chrome):



- Send `Ctrl + N` to fire.nvim: `Ctrl + N`

- Send `Ctrl + T` to fire.nvim: `Ctrl + T`

- Send `Ctrl + W` to fire.nvim: `Ctrl + W`

- Toggle fire.nvim in the current tab: `Ctrl + Shift + E`



## Features to be added



- Auto-install formatters
