Neovim Configuration

A minimal Neovim configuration using the native vim.pack.add() plugin system (no plugin manager).

Features

• Colemak Keymap Layout — Navigation keys remapped for Colemak keyboard users
• Native Plugin Management — Uses Neovim's built-in vim.pack.add() with version locking
• Self-Extracting Installer — Build portable installers via GitHub Actions
• LSP Support — Configured for Lua, C/C++, Python, and Rust
• Modern UI — Gruvbox theme, bufferline, lualine, and which-key

Plugins

Plugin	Purpose
blink.cmp	Completion with Rust fuzzy matching
telescope.nvim	Fuzzy finder
oil.nvim	File explorer
conform.nvim	Formatting
gitsigns.nvim	Git integration
trouble.nvim	Diagnostics list
nvim-treesitter	Syntax highlighting
mason.nvim	LSP server management
which-key.nvim	Keymap discovery

Keymaps (Colemak Layout)

Navigation keys are remapped:

• n → down (j)
• e → up (k)
• i → right (l)
• j → end of word (e)
• k → next search (n)
• l → insert mode (i)

Useful Keymaps

Keymap	Action
-	Open oil.nvim file explorer
<leader>ff	Find files (Telescope)
<leader>fg	Live grep (Telescope)
<leader>cf	Format buffer
<leader>xx	Toggle Trouble diagnostics
gh	LSP hover
gd	LSP goto definition

Requirements

• Neovim 0.10+ (for vim.pack.add() and vim.lsp.enable())
• Rust (for blink.cmp fuzzy matching compilation)
• tree-sitter-cli (for parser compilation)

Installation

Manual

Clone this repository to your Neovim config directory:

git clone https://github.com/mistgc/config.nvim ~/.config/nvim

Run Neovim to install plugins and treesitter parsers:

nvim --headless -c 'quit'
nvim --headless -c 'lua require("nvim-treesitter").install({ "cpp", "rust", "python" }):wait()' -c 'quit'

Self-Extracting Installer

Download the pre-built installer from Releases and run:

sudo ./packed-nvim.run

This installs:

• Neovim binary to /opt/nvim
• Config to ~/.config/nvim
• Pre-compiled plugins and parsers to ~/.local/share/nvim

To uninstall:

sudo ./packed-nvim.run --uninstall

Building the Installer Locally

OUTPUT_FILE_PATH=./packed-nvim.run ./scripts/pack-nvim.sh

Development

Formatting

Format Lua files with StyLua:

stylua .

Pre-commit Hooks
