Neovim Setup ✨🎯📝

Welcome to the heart of my terminal editing workflow — Neovim, fully pimped and optimized for speed, clarity, and power. 🚀🖥️⚡

🛠️ Core Configuration 🔧

  • Enabled via Nix 🐧: Neovim is managed declaratively through Nix, ensuring reproducibility and ease of updates.
  • Aliases & Defaults 🔄: nvim is set as the default editor, with aliases for vi, vim, and vimdiff for convenience.
  • Lua-powered 🐍: The entire config is Lua-based, stored in ~/Dotfiles/home-manager/modules/cli/nvim/lua for modularity and performance.

🎨 Theme & Appearance 🌈

  • Nord & Everforest ❄️🌲: I blend the calm, cool Nord colorscheme with the cozy, organic Everforest palette.

  • Custom Settings ⚙️:

  • g:nord_contrast = true 🔳 — enhanced contrast for better readability

  • g:nord_borders = false 🚫 — minimal borders for clean UI
  • g:nord_disable_background = false 🖼️ — keep the background
  • g:nord_italic = false 🚫 — no italics to avoid distractions
  • g:nord_uniform_diff_background = true 🎨 — consistent diff backgrounds
  • g:nord_bold = false ✖️ — subtle bold text

🔌 Plugins & Features ⚡✨

I use a curated set of plugins to supercharge coding and navigation:
