The config is complete but still work in progress as I am new to lua and slowly learning vim stuffs. I'll keep adding new features like snippets etc and clean the config , make neovim (cli version) as functional as an IDE while being eyecandy. Pull requests are welcome.

# Guides to migrate your nvim configs to init.lua -

# Clone my setup -

- Install neovim-nightly , also use a nerdfont on your terminal.
- run the install.sh script as root or copy the configs manually :
- Install packer.nvim

```shell
git clone https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim\
 ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim
```

- copy all config files in from this repo except ( plugin folder as it has config related to my system's username! )
- Open neovim and install all plugins , :PackerInstall and :TSUpdate
- Install language servers and prettier ( for autocompletion etc and code formatting , nodejs should be installed too!)

```
sudo npm install -g vscode-html-languageserver-bin typescript typescript-language-server  vscode-css-languageserver-bin prettier
```

To setup any language server , follow this guide https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/CONFIG.md and search up the needed LSP. For example if I needed clangd's lsp server :

 <kbd>
 <img src = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siduck76/dotfiles/master/rice%20flex/clang.png">
  </kbd>

I'd install it first and add its setup line :
`` -- in /lua/nvim-lspconfig/lua.lua file

       require'lspconfig'.clangd.setup{}  ``

- <kbd> Ctrl </kbd> <kbd> n </kbd> toggle neovim tree
- <kbd> Ctrl </kbd> <kbd> a </kbd> copies everything in the current file
- select any text + <kbd> y </kbd> copies the selected text

- leader + <kbd> f </kbd> <kbd> f </kbd> find files in the current DIR , with telescope
- leader + <kbd> f </kbd> <kbd> h </kbd> opens up a manpage like thing but for all vim related things , with telescope
- leader + <kbd> f </kbd> <kbd> m </kbd> formats or beautifies the code in current window via neoformat
  (currently only html ,css , js can be formatted . To be able to use this keybind you need to install the formatter locally for your language , in my case prettier was required only so I installed it. check this <a> https://github.com/sbdchd/neoformat</a>).

# TODO

- add snippets support
- show statusline in inactive windows

# Troubleshooting -

if you get any errors with packer.nvim , then remove the ~/.config/nvim/plugin/packer_nvim.vim file since it just has file paths for my system
and re-install packer.nvim
