Neovim Starter Setup Guide

[vimjoyer]

More NixOS tutorials are coming, just want to spice things up with my favorite editor's config vid. Hope you enjoy it!

[vismof]

Man, this is a great video for a beginner. Thank you

[abmantis]

These videos are just great. Straight to the point and super clear!

[curtispenner]

Having work through many other neovim setup videos. This one was the best for me and it works. I really liked your graphics. They remove all the junk and focus on what is necessary.

[MrRutrum]

Awesome videos. You've inspired me to start my journey into home-manager. I'd love to see another take on a neovim setup while leveraging home manager to manage the configuration files. I'm going through your video step by step and slowly finding the corresponding home-manager/nix option, but would love to see your take on it.

Amazing video. Exactly what I have been looking for! No other video on NeoVim has broken down how the config file should be structured, this well. 10/10

[garymyers]

Great video. I have been wanting to upgrade my VIM setup, and this seems like a great place to start. Thanks!

[gungun]

So this channel is really a channel about a vim enjoyer !
Nice ❤

You are an angel, I will definitely be referring to this when I redo my neovim config :) so concise and clear and helpful.

a bit dense but certainly a very handy and practical ressource. Thank you!

[gbember]

I'm using nvchad, but I've been thinking of making my own config/ide. Thanks mate!

I found nixvim works really well for my setup. Saves on having to install vim, then a plugin manager, then sync plugins within vim etc.

i have so much trouble with rust-analyzer.
Installing with mason is not the problem but it does not run, when i want it to run.

But i finally got it working:

I created a shell environment:
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};

stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "rust-env";
nativeBuildInputs = [
rustc
cargo
gcc
rustfmt
clippy
pkg-config
];
buildInputs = [
openssl
rust-analyzer
];

RUST_SRC_PATH =
# Set Environment Variables
RUST_BACKTRACE = 1;
# ENV Variables
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = "${geos}/lib:${gdal}/lib";
}

```

I dont know, which parts of this shell config does the trick.

I also added these Lines: to my neovim config
```
require('mason').setup {
PATH = "append",
}
```

This tells mason to use rust-analyzer of the system

7:47 I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the `Lua` table in the `lua_ls.setup` function should be contained by a table called `settings`.

I was trying to make some changes to the config for lua_ls earlier today, and after a bit of frustration and troubleshooting, I found the config changes didn't work unless that `Lua` table was encapsulated by a `settings` table.

lsp-zero is a nice plugin that makes lsp pretty easy to configure.

[scottiecondon]

Loved the video! Have you thought about making a video like this for configuring neovim in nixos declaratively as opposed to needing mason and lazy?

[heroclixrz]

It's not clear to me why both LSP and treesitter are necessary. Seems like treesitter's functionality would be a subset of an LSP wouldn't it?

[BrandonBailey-vs]

great vid! doesnt look like the telescope bindings work though, any ideas?

[shyam]

Setting up lsp configuration into 'after' is a nice touch. How is lazy plugin manager aware of executing lua files in 'after' directory? Is that folder name 'after' fixed? Are there folders that can be used a well for configuring some plugins?

[raphaelweis]

Is is possible to make mason work on nixos ? I tried to copy my config from archlinux to nixos and for certain language servers mason can't seem to find the binaries...
I am pretty experienced with vim but not much with nixos
