Features

Core Features

• Blazingly fast: Use nvim-treesitter new main branch which uses built in treesitter from nvim core. Making it fastest!
• LSP Support: Full language server protocol support with auto-installation via Mason
• Treesitter: Advanced syntax highlighting and text objects
• Auto-session: Automatically saves and restores your editing sessions
• Flash.nvim: Smart cursor jumping for fast navigation
• Blink.cmp: Fast and intelligent code completion
• Neo-tree: Modern file explorer with git integration
• Telescope: Powerful fuzzy finder for files, buffers, grep, and more
• Git Integration: Gitsigns for inline git diff indicators and git operations
• Terminal Integration: Nvterm with toggleable vertical/horizontal/floating terminals
• Multi-cursor: Efficient multi-cursor editing support
• Auto-pairs: Automatic bracket/parenthesis pairing
• Comment Toggle: Easy commenting with context-aware comment strings
• Tokyo Night Theme: Beautiful color scheme with custom highlights
• Lualine: Minimal and fast statusline

Code Execution

Built-in executors for quick code execution:

• Python: python <file>
• JavaScript/TypeScript: node <file>
• C++: Compiles with debug flags and runs (supports input.txt/output.txt)
• C: Compiles and runs
• Rust: cargo run and cargo test
• HTML: Live server
• Java: Direct execution

Use <leader>Xi, <leader>Xv, or <leader>Xh to execute in floating, vertical, or horizontal terminal respectively. Use <leader>xi, <leader>xv, or <leader>xh for test execution (where applicable).

Pre-requisites

• gcc/g++: For C/C++ compilation
• npm: For markdown-preview plugin and other Node.js tools
• cargo: For Rust development (optional, if using Rust)
• live-server: For HTML live preview (optional, install via npm: npm install -g live-server)

Installation

Run the following command in your terminal

Linux

Clean cache of old setup

rm -rf ~/.local/state/nvim
rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim

mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim-backup
mv ~/.local/share/nvim ~/.local/share/nvim-backup
git clone https://github.com/Suryansh-Dey/neovim-config.git ~/.config/nvim && nvim

Windows

In powershell

Clean cache of old setup

rm -Force $HOME\AppData\Local\nvim-data

mv $HOME/AppData/Local/nvim $HOME/AppData/Local/nvim-backup
mv $HOME/AppData/Local/nvim-data $HOME/AppData/Local/nvim-data-backup
git clone https://github.com/Suryansh-Dey/neovim-config.git $HOME/AppData/Local/nvim && nvim

mv commands might raise error if no nvim config file is already there but ignore that. Following command will still do the job!

After installation, run :MasonToolsInstall command in neovim to install LSP and tools.
Then run TSInstallAll to install treesitter parser.

All done!! Refer troubleshooting for help.

Configuration Details

• Leader Key: <Space> (spacebar)
• Lazy Loading: Plugins are loaded on-demand for optimal performance
• Session Management: Auto-session saves your workspace automatically (excludes home, Projects, Downloads directories)
• Snippets: Custom snippets available for C++, JavaScript, and TypeScript (located in ~/.config/nvim/snippets/ directory)

Tip to find a keybinding

Go to ~/.config/nvim/lua/mappings.lua, and search for the action. You will probably get it's corresponding keybinding here.

• desc tells what this key binding does so you can search using / to get related keybinding.
• The second argument of map represents the key stoke needed for the action.

If you need some feature which is not available in config already, just open an GitHub issue! I love configuring neovim and maintaining this repository.

Default keymap changes

1. The s motion is remapped to flash-jump (smart cursor jumping).
2. The J key is remapped to Ctrl-e (scroll to down).
3. The K key is remapped to Ctrl-y (scroll to up).
4. The H key is remapped to K (shows documentation).
5. The L key is remapped to J (concatenate lines).
6. The U key is remapped to Ctrl-r (redo).
7. Use <leader>m for setting marks (since m is used for surround).
8. ; always moves right or down and , always moves left or up.

Blink.cmp remaps

• <Tab> -> opens and cycles through completion menu
• <CR> -> accepts completion (with smart handling for ambiguous completions)
  To keep completion menu always open go to ./lua/plugins/blink.lua update line 47 to menu = { auto_show = true }

nvim-surround remaps

Since s is used for flash-jump, following remaps were done:

{
normal = "m",        -- Add surround (original: "ys")
normal_cur = "mm",     -- Add surround to current line (original: "yss")
visual = "m",         -- Add surround in visual mode
visual_line = "mm",    -- Add surround in visual line mode
delete = "md",        -- Delete surround (original: "ds")
change = "mc",        -- Change surround (original: "cs")
}

neo-tree remaps

• s -> triggers flash-jump (since s is used for flash-jump globally)
• <leader>s -> system open (open file with system default application)
