My setup for Neovim as a IDE

Install neovim

neovims homepage

neovim repo

Download package or install from build. The current stable version is 0.8.1

Get healthy

sudo apt install xsel # for X11
sudo apt install wl-clipboard # for wayland

Install python support

pip install pynvim

Install npm

sudo apt install npm
npm i -g neovim

Install node.js

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Install ripgrep

sudo apt install ripgrep

Fonts

Install getnf and install the "Hack" font, you might need to update/rebuild the font cache (or reboot).

getnf

An alternative way to install fonts is to manually download from nerdfonts, unzip and update/reload the font cache.

unzip <.zip> -d ~/.local/share/fonts

To manually update/rebuild the font cache

fc-cache -fv

Run :checkhealth to see if everything is ok.

Configurations

LSP

To add new LSP run

:LspInstallInfo

and find a suitable lsp. Commands:

i - install
u - update
X - uninstall

After installation you need to add the server to ~/.config/nvim/lua/user/lsp/lsp-installer.lua in the list/table servers, and add the following in the for loop for settings:

    if server == "<LSP SERVER NAME>" then
        local <LSP SERVER NAME>_opts = require("user.lsp.settings.<LSP SERVER NAME>")
        opts = vim.tbl_deep_extend("force", <LSP SERVER NAME>_opts, opts)
    end

a long with setting the settings in the .lua-file found in ~/.config/nvim/lua/user/lsp/settings/<LSP SERVER NAME>.lua

See all setting options by looking at :LspInstallInfo or at nvim-lsp-installer

Formatters and linters

Install formatters and linters binaries and add them to ~/.config/nvim/lua/user/lsp/null-ls.lua accrdingly. Information about different formatters and linters are found at nvim-null-ls

For .tomlfiles, install taplo using cargo install taplo-cli --locked and then install in nvim using LSP server list (<leader>lI)

Debugger

DAP - the client that implement/adapt the debugger server. virtual text - prints variable value next to the variable during debugging dap-ui - User interface during debugging SKAPA LINKS

Install a new debugger by adding it to the ~/.config/nvim/lua/user/dap.lua-file and following the method.

1. dap.adapter. - attaches/adapt the debugger software
2. dap.configuration. - custom configs

are found at DAP-repo.

The debugger needs to be installed and visible for the compiler/interperter. In pythons case it is recommeded to have it in a virutal environment. Which means that the debugger needs to be installed in the .virtualenvs/bin/python environment. Activate a environment by source .virtualenvs/bin/activate then install the debugger within the venv my python -m pip install debugpy. Make sure that the paths in ~/.config/nvim/lua/user/dap.lua-file find the corret compiler/interperter
