linguini nvim

Clone this repository on your system's nvim run time path. For Windows, this is located in Users/<user>/AppData/Local/nvim (cloning in the Local directory will create the nvim directory)

Fonts

In order to have the correct font, install the JetBrains Mono Nerd Font from nerdfonts.

Disable ligatures in the terminal's font settings using font.features.calt = 0 within the settings.json file for the Windows terminal. This should be done under the default profiles.

You will also want to go into Settings > Defaults > Appearance and set Text Formatting to "Bold font with bright colours".

For fire.nvim to display correctly in the browser, be sure to go into the settings and select the JetBrains Mono Nerd Font as the default mono space font.

Terminal Colours

The terminal colours are recommended to match this config's theme, gruvbox hard, for best results. You can find the hex colour codes here

Compiler

In order to avoid Visual Studio code for clang on Windows (and some annoying side effects of having to specify a target when compiling), this config uses gcc.

clangd Nuances

Because clangd requires a compiler_commands.json file in order to perform checks accurately, an additional dependency must be installed to generate this file from Makefile commands (Cmake does this automatically but Makefiles do not).

Many Linux users suggest using Bear. On Windows, I found it easiest to use compiledb, a Python package that works similarly right out of the box. Install it globally with pip and you can generate the compile commands from a Makefile.

In order to use gcc with clangd and not have errors about missing header files, the best workaround I found was to add an environment variable called CLANGD_FLAGS to the system, with the value --query-driver=<abs path to gcc/g++>. This ensures that clangd knows how to find the header files by querying gcc/g++ and I don't have to include this absolute path in my configuration in case I end up using clang on Linux or store gcc elsewhere on Windows. Note that gcc/g++ can be represented in the absolute path as g*.

LaTeX Indenting

This configuration uses latexindent, for which you will need to create a file called .indentconfig in the home directory specified by [latexindent's docs][latexident] with the following contents:

paths:
  - path/to/nvim/.latexindent.yaml

Fire.nvim Shortcuts

I found it easiest to use the following browser keyboard shortcuts for this fire.nvim configuration (using Chrome):

• Send Ctrl + N to fire.nvim: Ctrl + N
• Send Ctrl + T to fire.nvim: Ctrl + T
• Send Ctrl + W to fire.nvim: Ctrl + W
• Toggle fire.nvim in the current tab: Ctrl + Shift + E

Features to be added

• Auto-install formatters
