Install requires Neovim 0.12+. Always review the code before installing a configuration.

Clone the repository and install the plugins:

git clone git@github.com:zen-zap/nvim_config ~/.config/zen-zap/nvim_config

Open Neovim with this config:

NVIM_APPNAME=zen-zap/nvim_config/ nvim

This configuration uses the folke/lazy.nvim plugin manager. Plugins are organized by purpose and set up in lua/plugins/init.lua; most are lazy‑loaded automatically.

• AlexvZyl/nordic.nvim, rebelot/kanagawa.nvim, olivercederborg/poimandres.nvim, rose-pine/neovim, sainnhe/sonokai, sainnhe/everforest, folke/tokyonight.nvim
• Additional themes are included for quick cycling (catppuccin, bamboo.nvim, oldworld.nvim, miasma.nvim, embark, gruber-darker, mellifluous, monochrome, evergarden, etc.)
• Use <leader>cs to cycle schemes or <leader>ct to pick with Telescope (see Keybindings below).

• hrsh7th/nvim-cmp with sources for LSP, buffers, and paths.
• Uses native Neovim snippets (no vsnip).

• neovim/nvim-lspconfig with helper plugins like j-hui/fidget.nvim (progress UI) and built‑in support for ESLint, Ruff, and others.

• nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter (configured to install Rust, RON, C/C++, Java, JSON5, Bash, Lua, Vimscript, Markdown, etc.).

• akinsho/bufferline.nvim (buffer tabs)
• nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim (statusline, theme-aware)
• folke/noice.nvim (improved command line and LSP documentation)
• karb94/neoscroll.nvim (smooth scrolling)
• RRethy/vim-illuminate (highlight word under cursor)
• windwp/nvim-autopairs (auto‑closing brackets/quotes)
• folke/which-key.nvim (leader‑key cheat sheet)
• nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim & nvim-lua/plenary.nvim (fuzzy finder)

• nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua (file tree with git highlighting)
• nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons (file icons)
• echasnovski/mini.nvim (mini.icons for icon-provider compatibility)

• lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim (indent guides)
• leap.nvim from Codeberg (https://codeberg.org/andyg/leap.nvim)
• andymass/vim-matchup (improved % matching)

• lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim (git decorations & hunk actions)

• nvim-neotest/nvim-nio (test runner integration)
• j-hui/fidget.nvim (LSP progress)
• nvim-lua/plenary.nvim, MunifTanjim/nui.nvim (utilities used by other plugins)

Many of the color/theme plugins and extras are loaded lazily; you can inspect or add your own by editing lua/plugins/init.lua.

Leader key is set to <Space> throughout the configuration (see lua/config/keymaps.lua).

• File navigation: <leader>f find files, <leader>g live grep, <leader>b open buffers, <leader>? help tags.
• LSP: <leader>s search workspace symbols, <leader>rn rename, gd go to definition, K hover, [d/]d navigate diagnostics.
• Colorschemes: <leader>cs cycle, <leader>ct choose with Telescope.
• Window management: <leader>-/| to split, <leader>h/j/k/l move between splits, <leader>wd close, <leader>tw toggle auto‑wrap.
• Buffers: L/H cycle next/prev buffer (bufferline integration).
• File tree: <leader>tt toggle NvimTree.
• Debugging (DAP): <F5> continue, <F10> step over, <F11> step into, <F12> step out, <leader>db toggle breakpoint, <leader>dr open REPL, <leader>du toggle UI.
• Terminal: <C-S-c> kills current terminal job.
• Utils: <C-s> save, <leader>q quit, <leader>Q quit all!, <leader><space> clear search, <leader>e select inner word, <leader>m change till underscore.

Servers are started automatically if their executables are found on the system. The configuration includes sensible defaults, per‑language behaviors (inlay hints, format‑on‑save, etc.) and root detection logic.

Supported/recognized servers:

• rust-analyzer – Rust
• jdtls – Java
• clangd – C/C++/Objective‑C/ CUDA
• typescript-language-server – JavaScript/TypeScript and React
• vscode-eslint-language-server – ESLint integration for JS/TS/Vue/Svelte
• pyright-langserver – Python
• ruff – Python linting/formatting
• lua-language-server – Lua (configured for Neovim runtime)
• bash-language-server – shell scripts
• yaml-language-server – YAML files
• gopls – Go (with workspace module awareness)

You can extend or override these settings by editing lua/config/lsp.lua.

• Requires Neovim 0.12+.
• Clone the repo:

git clone git@github.com:zen-zap/nvim_config ~/.config/zen-zap/nvim_config

• Launch with custom appname so config directory is used:

NVIM_APPNAME=zen-zap/nvim_config/ nvim

• External language servers (rust-analyzer, jdtls, clangd, etc.) must be installed and on your $PATH for LSP support to activate.
• For Treesitter health checks and parser tooling, install tree-sitter-cli (npm i -g tree-sitter-cli).
• For C/C++ debugging with DAP, install codelldb (e.g. via :MasonInstall codelldb).
• This config is built on top of LazyVim; additional options are in lua/config/options.lua and can be tweaked as needed.

Hope you have a good time with this. Configuration should work out of the box with minimal tweaks.
