Nixvim

This module provides some defaults to quickly set up Nixvim with some plugins.

View the nix-core Home Manager module on GitHub.

Config

Here is an example configuration:

# flake.nix
inputs = {
  nixvim.url = "github:nix-community/nixvim";
  nixvim.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};

# home/YOU/default.nix
{ inputs, lib, config, pkgs, ... }:

{
  imports = [
    inputs.core.homeModules.styling # This module works great with the styling module
    inputs.core.homeMmodules.nixvim # You need to import this module
  ];

  programs.nixvim = {
    enable = true;
    #colorschemes.SCHEME.enable = true; # If you do not use the styling module, set a scheme manually
    # This module provides defaults for the following plugins.
    # They are all enabled by default.
    plugins = {
      cmp.enable = true; # Auto completion
      copilot-chat.enable = true; # Chat with GitHub Copilot. Run `:Copilot auth` to authenticate
      copilot-lua.enable = true; # AI code generation.
      dap.enable = true; # Debugging 
      lsp.enable = true; # Language server
      lualine.enable = true; # Statusline
      luasnip.enable = true; # Coding snippets
      markdown-preview.enable = true; # Markdown preview in Browser
      telescope.enable = true; # Fuzzy finder
      treesitter.enable = true; # Syntax highlighting
      trouble.enable = true; # Diagnostic messages
    };
  };

  styling = {
    enable = true;
    scheme = "dracula"; # This automatically sets the nixvim scheme as well
  };
}

Keymaps

This module sets some keymaps. Here are some important ones:

<leader> defaults to the space key

key	action
<leader>pv	ex command (file explorer)
<leader>s	search and replace word under cursor
<C-a>	select whole buffer
<leader>ss	toggle spell checking
<leader>se	switch to english spell checking
<leader>sg	switch to german spell checking
z=	correction suggestions for a misspelled word
zg	add word to spell list
<C-CR>	confirm selection in completion menu
<C-Tab>	select next item in completion menu
gd	go to definition
K	display more information about word under cursor
<leader>fb or <C-e>	open file browser
<leader>ff	find files by name
<leader>fg	find files containing string
<leader>ce	let copilot explains the selected code
<leader>cr	let copilot review the selected code
<leader>cf	let copilot fix the selected code
<leader>co	let copilot optimize the selected code
<leader>cd	let copilot comment the selected code
<leader>ct	let copilot generate tests for the selected code

See keymaps.nix and plugins for more details.

These commands do not have keymaps yet but might be useful anyway:

command	action
:CopilotChat <question>	ask Copilot a question
:MarkdownPreview	live render the current markdown buffer
