# Very Very Useful lua plugins used in my config

#### Lspkind-nvim

This tiny plugin adds vscode-like pictograms to neovim built-in lsp completion items:

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

#### Nvim-tree.lua

fast file tree:

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

### Telescope-nvim

A fuzzy file finder, picker, sorter, previewer and much more:
<kbd> <img src = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siduck76/dotfiles/master/rice%20flex/tel.png"></kbd>
<kbd> <img src = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siduck76/dotfiles/master/rice%20flex/telmedia.png"></kbd><hr>

### Indent-blankline.nvim

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

### Galaxyline

fastest statusline plugin I've used so far:
<kbd><img src = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siduck76/dotfiles/master/rice%20flex/statusline.png"></kbd><hr>

### Nvim-bufferline.lua

As a top tabline like thing which lets me handle tabs and buffers like switching , sorting and closing them etc.
<kbd> <img src = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siduck76/dotfiles/master/rice%20flex/bufferline.png"></kbd>

### Nvim-web-devicons

Lua fork of vim devicons which lets me change icons of filetypes:
<kbd> <img src = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siduck76/dotfiles/master/rice%20flex/image.png"></kbd>

### Nvim-treesitter

Better syntax highlighting for programming languages ( NvChad by default comes with lua/bash treesitter parsers ).

without / with Treesitter:

# Credits

- [Elianiva](https://github.com/elianiva) helped me with neovim lua related issues many times, NvChad wouldnt exist without his help at all!
- @lorvethe for making NvChad logo!

# Bloat
	
-  To all those who think this is probably bloated, sure it is. Bloat means different to everyone. NvChad has like 30 ~ plugins but that doesn't mean those plugins are compromising neovim's speed, snappiness, or making it slow. No matter how many plugins I'd add on NvChad, it wouldn't compromise speed/snappiness/make it slow or whatever since it uses packer.nvim as plugin manager. packer.nvim lets you lazy load plugins i.e. loading plugins on certain events, mappings, sequentially loading them, etc, thus loading them only when needed. I have lazy loaded all the plugins so most plugins aren't loaded by default, hence not affecting neovim's startup/launch time.

# TODO

It would be nice if NvChad focuses on existing plugins and config before adding new things. Some plugins like whichkey, telescope and treesitter still have basic configs! Also adding new features that'd make NvChad slow or its startup time slow wouldn't be encouraged. If that feature is really needed then it'll be mentioned in the wiki with its config.

- Debloat the config.
- Make NvChad more and more faster (reduce startup time as low as possible).
- Add more themes.

## Warning

I get hearings from some plugin devs that nvchad users bring issues on discourse/reddit/matrix/gh repos etc. Please dont do that :/ . Bring NvChad related issues here ONLY and dont ever bother plugin devs, THIS IS A CLEAR WARNING! 😠
