Bloated LunarVim

Do not use as is, use it as a source of inspiration.

I've customized my ZSH/Tmux/Alacritty too much, so it might not work properly 😅

Install

Prerequisites (🔎 Click to expand/collapse)

Prerequisites

• Neovim >= v0.6.0

  brew install neovim --nightly

• Rust and telescope stuff:
  • ripgrep
  • fd

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf "https://sh.rustup.rs" | sh
cargo install ripgrep fd-find

• NodeJS >= v16.13.0 most language servers need this

brew install node

# install LunarVim
mv ~/.config/lvim ~/.config/lvim_backup
git clone https://github.com/abzcoding/lvim.git ~/.config/lvim
lvim +LvimUpdate +LvimCacheReset +q
lvim # run :PackerSync

Other Stuff (🔎 Click to expand/collapse)

Language-Server Protocol (LSP)

To leverage LSP auto-completions and other functionalities, once you open a file in Neovim, run :LspInstall <server> to use [nvim-lsp-installer](lsp installer) installation feature. Use Tab to list available servers.

Here are some useful LSP server installations:

• :LspInstall html cssls jsonls yamlls
• :LspInstall gopls
• :LspInstall pylsp
• :LspInstall bashls vimls sumneko_lua
• :LspInstall diagnosticls
• and [more](lsp installer)…

Upgrade

cd ~/.config/lvim
git pull
lvim # run :PackerSync

Recommended Fonts

• FiraCode Nerd Font: My preferred font
• Any of the Nerd Fonts

On macOS with Homebrew, choose one of the Nerd Fonts, for example, here are some popular fonts:

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew search nerd-font
brew install --cask font-fira-code
brew install --cask font-victor-mono-nerd-font
brew install --cask font-iosevka-nerd-font-mono
brew install --cask font-hack-nerd-font

Recommended Linters

brew install luarocks
luarocks install luacheck  # if you want to use luacheck
cargo install selene  # if you want to use selene instead of luacheck
brew install hadolint  # if you want to lint dockerfiles
pip install vim-vint  # for vim linting
# install llvm and clang_format for clang stuff
npm install -g @fsouza/prettierd # if you want to use prettierd
pip install yapf flake8 black  # for python stuff
# if you want to use the markdown thingy
brew install vale markdownlint-cli
cp -r ~/.config/lvim/.vale ~/.config/vale
# fix the address inside .vale.ini
cp ~/.config/lvim/vale_config.ini ~/.vale.ini
# if you want the latex stuff
# brew install --cask mactex-no-gui # for mac
# or install zathura and chktex on linux

In case you want a better tex support in mac, check [this](tex support) out

if you want the custom gostructhelper, first get the pkg:

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/vanhtuan0409/gostructhelper.git
cd gostructhelper/cmds/gostructhelper
go build -o /usr/local/bin/gostructhelper && chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/gostructhelper
