Plugins

Plugin Manager: lazy.vim

This is the neovim plugin manager I am using. It comes with several plugins by default. Its documentation is a good place to start.

Essential plugins

This list was collected by watching the video Zero to IDE.

leap.nvim

Jump to any location. The nice thing about leap is that it creates a one character label for each of its findings that you can quickly jump to it by typing it.

In

s: Start search from your cursor position.
S: Start search backward your cursor position.

What is also cool is that it does search on all open panes.

telescope.nvim

It is a fuzzy finder engine with nice text-graphics interface.

Find files.
Grep files.
Find buffers.
Search key-mappings.
Search vim options.
Search git commits.

Rendering issue

When I search for a term, the list of found files appears empty. However, if I press the up/down-arrows, the files are rendered back.

mason.nvim

Manager for: LSP, linters, formatters

neotree.nvim

File tree on a side panel. Tap ? to get help.

nvim-lspconfig

Interacts with LSP servers to offer nice features such as token renaming.

spectre.nvim

Global search replace. It also relies on ripgrep.

In the spectre context window

sr: replace current item.
dd: do not apply replace on this line.
R: replace all marked items.

todo.nvim

Identifies //TODO: strings and collects them. st -> search for todos

trouble.nvim

Use the LSP to show issues detected in the code.

xx

whichkey.nvim

It shows up a panel with keys hints. The panel appears if you type the first character of a key-mapping sequence. For example, when the key is pressed.

Also:

': Show the marks (last modifications) of the current buffer.
": Show the contents of your registers.
!: Show key-maps for motion and navigation

You check more by doing a sk + whichkey.
