This is my configuration for nvim in the ubuntu environment, much of the information already comes from my old configuration in windows , in this new version several new plugins are added and the migration to lua begins

9. Credits

• Have vim and nvim installed

• A plugin manager (I personally use Vim-Plug), but you can safely use any other, for example Vim-Vundle, and you would only have to change the lines to suit your plugin manager. For example using Vim-Vundle you would have to change the following:

  set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
  call vundle#begin()
  " And any other plugin you want to change
  Plugin 'tpope/vim-fugitive'
  call vundle#end()

• Once you have a plugin manager you will have to install the plugins that are in ".vimrc", in case of using vim-plug, you only have to put this command in the console and you should install them :PlugInstall

• To use the plugins you will also need:

  • node or nvm
  • python
    Additionally you can improve the autocomplete for python by installing the following packages

    pip3 install pynvim
    pip3 install neovim
    
    pip3 install -U setuptools
    
    pip3 install python-language-server
    pip3 install 'python-language-server[all]'
    
    pip3 install git+git:https://github.com/psf/black
    
    pip3 install pyls-mypy
    pip3 install pyls-isort
    pip3 install pyls-black

You can configure everything to your liking, I leave it as it is more comfortable for me, below I will also describe most of the keyboard shortcuts (which are generally the defaults of the X plugin in particular)

• There is an option enabled in the configuration (.vimrc) that will autosave the view (this includes, for example, where you were positioned before closing the file, if you created folds, they will also be saved, etc.)

  " save the folds in the .vim/view directory
   autocmd BufWinLeave _._ mkview
   autocmd BufWinEnter _._ silent loadview

  but it may generate lag and also it will execute with each new file and it will generate an error message if it is a new file (only the first time), it will also generate a folder called "view" in the nvim folder and in the vim folder

  In windows C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\nvim-data\view or C:\Users\<username>\\.vim\view

  That is why if it bothers you to have this enabled it is better that you delete it from the .vimrc

• Vim ≥ 7.3 with +python3 or +python options
• Neovim with pynvim installed
• Python ≥ 2.4

https://github.com/simnalamburt/vim-mundo#requirements

1. Check if the luabitop package is available by running :lua bit.band(1,1) in Neovim. If this throws an error, you will need to install it.

2. Finally, install the Firenvim addon for your browser from Mozilla's store or Google's.

https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim#installing

• A patched font

https://github.com/kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons#requirements

• BurntSushi/ripgrep is required for live_grep and grep_string
• telescope-fzy-native.nvim telescope sorter to significantly improve sorting performance
• sharkdp/fd (finder)
• nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter (finder/preview)
• neovim LSP (picker)
• devicons (icons)

https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim#getting-started

• Neovim latest stable version or nightly
• tar and curl in your path (or alternatively git)
• A C compiler in your path and libstdc++ installed (Windows users please read this!).

https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter

• Vim 7.4, compiled with the +python flag.

• A C++ compiler supporting C++11.

• Boost (Ubuntu: package libboost-all-dev).

• CMake (Ubuntu: package cmake).

• Python headers (Ubuntu: package python-dev).

• Optional, required for Unicode support: ICU (Ubuntu: package libicu-dev).

Pyenv users on Mac OS X: cpsm requires dynamic Python libraries, which pyenv does not build by default. If CMake indicates that it's using static libraries, e.g.:

-- Found PythonLibs: /Users/<username>/.pyenv/versions/3.5.2/lib/python3.5/config-3.5m/libpython3.5m.a

Rebuild with dynamic library support by running env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-framework" pyenv install <version>.

Python 3 Support: If your Vim is compiled against Python 3 instead (+python3 flag) the install script should detect this in most cases and everything should just work. You may need different python headers installed (e.g. python3-dev on Ubuntu).

If the detection does not work for any reason you can set PY3=ON or PY3=OFF as appropriate when running ./install.sh to override it.

On Ubuntu ... and other Debian-based Linux distributions.

If you run Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) or newer, you can install the officially maintained package:

sudo apt install fd-find

Note that the binary is called fdfind as the binary name fd is already used by another package. It is recommended that after installation, you add a link to fd by executing command ln -s $(which fdfind) ~/.local/bin/fd, in order to use fd in the same way as in this documentation. Make sure that $HOME/.local/bin is in your $PATH.

If you use an older version of Ubuntu, you can download the latest .deb package from the release page and install it via:

sudo dpkg -i fd_8.3.2_amd64.deb  # adapt version number and architecture

https://github.com/sharkdp/fd#on-ubuntu

• Requires fd from sharkdp/fd (see :h wilder#python_file_finder_pipeline() on using other commands)
• Requires cpsm from nixprime/cpsm
• Requires fzy-lua-native from romgrk/fzy-lua-native
• Requires nvim-web-devicons from kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons or vim-devicons from ryanoasis/vim-devicons or nerdfont.vim from lambdalisue/nerdfont.vim

https://github.com/gelguy/wilder.nvim#advanced-config-for-neovim-only-or-vim-with-yarp

• Neovim 0.5 or later
• fzf (optional, 0.24.0 later)
• nvim-treesitter (optional)

https://github.com/kevinhwang91/nvim-bqf#requirements

I don't know the mimimal supported version. But if you only care about the ctags related feature, vim 7.4.1154+ should be enough. If you want to ctags to run asynchonously, Vim 8.0.27+ should be enough.

Otherwise, if you want to try any LSP related features, then you certainly need some plugins to retrive the LSP symbols, e.g., coc.nvim. When you have these LSP plugins set up, vista.vim should be ok to go as well.

In addition, if you want to search the symbols via fzf, you will have to install it first. Note that fzf 0.22.0 or above is required.

Vim 8

$ mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/git-plugins/start
$ git clone https://github.com/liuchengxu/vista.vim.git --depth=1 ~/.vim/pack/git-plugins/start/vista.vim

NeoVim

I moved the keyboard shortcuts section to a separate file, because it's a lot of information, you can find it in keyboard-shortcuts

The windows version is the old version of this configuration and this is its repository, it keeps most of the keyboard shortcuts, so you can use that configuration without any problem

• Using ultisnips and CoC when you complete a snippet you can use the '' key to jump to the next field to complete

• :diffget and :diffput can be abbreviated as do and dp respectively

To obtain the latest features of our plugins and plugin managers, we will need to update them from time to time

In order to update the plugin manager that I use (in this case it would be "Plug") we will need to put this command in the console and execute it

:PlugUpgrade (each plugin manager may have a different way to update it)

Once an update is applied, I always recommend restarting nvim so that it does not throw errors if we continue to update something else. To update the plugins we are using (for example, coc, fugitive, ctrlp, nerdtree, etc) we will have to use this other command

:PlugUpdate

And finally to update the CoC extensions we are going to use the following command (as I mentioned above it is better to restart before executing it)

:CocUpdate
