neovim-confs/README.md

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.

# Clone my setup - 

- Install neovim-nightly , also use a nerdfont on your terminal.
- 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/personal-backup/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> 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>)

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
