Nvim(Chad) configuration

Powered by NvChad v2.5

---

Introduction

I do not own anything related to NvChad, this is only the configs that I use with it.

I have been a VSCode user for years and I am slowly moving forward to NVIM, so this is my config that mimics VSCode key binds and UI, with a goal of removing plugins as I am getting used to it and learning more about NVIM.

Installation guide

1. Same as NvChad
2. I am using Hack Nerd Font
3. My terminal is WezTerm

Help

For questions feel free to open an issue or you can find me in the NvChad discord server.

Configured environments

TreeSitter is enabled and will automatically install parsers for you.

CMP fully integrated with AI completions

Cmp has some custom configs for performance, and it will open automatically.

You can disable cmp auto-complete with cmd CmpToggle.

To trigger it, press <C-Space>, you can navigate between the options with <Up> and <Down> and select with <CR>`.

If Cmp is visible, you can use <Esc> to close it without leaving Insert mode.

If the copilot suggestion is active, you can use <Tab> to select the copilot option.

Keybinds

All the keybindings are available in the mappings.lua file, and also described in the NVCheatSheet, you can access it with <leader>ch.

Common Text key binds are also available:

• Ctrl + A: Select All
• Ctrl + X: Cut
• Ctrl + C: Copy
• Ctrl + V: Paste
• Ctrl + Z: Undo

Formatting

I do not like the format on save, so my config is set to format on <leader>fm only, but you can change it to whatever you want, to do it, just uncomment the autocmd in the autocmd.lua file.

For .go files, you can use <leader>fi to complete imports.
