# Very Very Useful lua plugins used in my config #### Lspkind-nvim This tiny plugin adds vscode-like pictograms to neovim built-in lsp completion items :
#### Nvim-tree.lua fast file tree :
### Telescope-nvim A fuzzy file finder, picker, sorter, previewer and much more:
### Indent-blankline.nvim adds indentline : ### Galaxyline fastest statusline plugin I've used so far:
### Nvim-bufferline.lua As a top tabline like thing which lets me handle tabs and buffers like switching , sorting and closing them etc. ### Nvim-web-devicons Lua fork of vim devicons which lets me change icons of filetypes ### Nvim-treesitter Better syntax highlighting for programming languages ( my config just has html,css,js support for now ). without / with Treesitter : # Credits [Elianiva](https://github.com/elianiva) helped me with neovim lua related issues many times, NvChad wouldnt exist without his help at all! # Features - File navigation with Nvimtree - Using plugins that are mouse friendly - sexy themes - managing tabs , buffers with bufferline - autosave - icons on nvimtree , telescope , bufferline/statusline and almost everywhere! with nvim-web-devicons - minimal status line ( galaxyline) - gitsigns (colored bars for git in my config) - using nvim-lsp - nvim-lspconfig for nvim-lps configuration - lspInstall for installing lsp servers easily. - nvim-compe for autocompletion - lspkind to show pictograms on autocompletion items - telescope for file finding , picking , previewing (files and even images) - nvim-treesitter for syntax highlighting - nvim-autopairs , for autolosing braces and stuffs - neoformat for prettifying / formatting code - packer.nvim as package manager - indent-blankline.Nvim for indentlines - smooth scrolling - Snip support from VSCode through vsnip supporting custom and predefined snips (friendly-snippets) # Requirements - neovim 0.5 - A terminal that supports [nerdfonts](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts) - Set terminal's inner padding to 0. # Wiki - [pre-requisite](https://github.com/siduck76/NvChad/wiki/Lua-guides) - [config-structure](https://github.com/siduck76/NvChad/wiki#config-structure) - [mappings](https://github.com/siduck76/NvChad/wiki/mappings) # Bloat - To all those who think this is probably bloated , sure it is . Bloat means different to everyone . NvChad has like 30 ~ plugins but that doesnt mean those plugins are compromsing neovim's speed, snappiness or making it slow. No matter how many plugins I'd add on nvchad , it wouldnt compromise speed / snappiness / make it slow or whatever since it uses packer.nvim as plugin manager , packer.nvim lets you lazy load plugins i.e loading plugins on certain events , mappings , sequentially loading them etc so loading them only when needed , I have lazy loaded 28/30 plugins so most plugins arent loaded by default , hence not affecting neovim's startup/launch time. - The below image shows startuptime for : - NvChad Without lazy loading vs with lazy loading - Default neovim with startuptime.vim plugin vs NvChad - NvChad on my other system with ssd (The above 2 images show tests from my old pentium system so ofc the startuptime will be a lot more lesser for you ) # TODO It would be nice if NvChad focuses on existing plugins and config before adding new things , some plugins like whichkey , telescope , treesitter still have basic configs! Also adding new features that'd make NvChad slow or its startuptime slow wouldnt be encouraged , if that feature's really needed then It'll be mentioned in the wiki with its config. - Debloat the config - Add more themes. - Add a theme switcher. - Preview shortcuts in the form of a pretty [cheatsheet](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/59060246/122490009-95fd9980-cffe-11eb-9676-78019aa2cd65.png) - Add a global configuration so it doesnt get hard to update :c # Contribute - PR's are always welcomed however NvChad aims to be less bloated and suckless. So PR's regarding existing plugin's enhancement , bug fixes are more encouraged. - PR's regarding adding new plugins and their configs must be given some thought since NvChad aims to have a minimal config and meant to be used as a "base" neovim config so it will have only a set of important plugins. So adding more and more plugins, making NvChad bloated + slow wont help!. - NvChad isnt a Framework. NvChad wont keep adding more and more features ( adding new plugins most likely) as requested , no spoonfeeding!! If you think the plugin you want to be added is very useful and many NvChaders would find it useful, then such feature's PR is welcomed! - But adding specific features like adding config for https://github.com/wakatime/vim-wakatime etc will be added in this https://github.com/siduck76/NvChad/wiki/Chad-user-configs. This lets the user select the things only they want ( from extra configs ) . ## :gift_heart: Support If you enjoy using NvChad and would like to show your appreciation, you may want to tip me here. It is never required but always appreciated.
