What's new

The configuration installation script has been completely reworked and now provides a menu from which the following operations can be performed:

• Checking for availability of required packages and presence of existing configurations
• Backup and restore previous configurations
• Installation of the configuration
• Consultation of inline help

NvChad Integrations

• Configured some additional plugins on NvChad base46 for better integration of themes.
• Apply the changes to conform to the code in the 'starter' repository.
• Experimentally introduced the functionality provided by volt, the new NvChad plugin for creating reactive UI in neovim. Created two menus based on file type including one customized for the Markdown language.

Plugins update

• Removed lazygit.nvim to avoid external dependencies, used instead as default git manager Neogit
• Replaced the plugin for writing in Zen Mode, now provided by zen-mode.nvim
• Inserted the nvim-spectre plugin a powerful tool for searching and replacing strings, it allows searches on the buffer as well as on the entire workspace, it uses ripgrep as a search engine and this makes it very fast.
