My Neovim Configuration

Welcome to my personal Neovim configuration. There are already great configurations like LunarVim or LazyVim that allow a quick start into Neovim for developers. I decided to create my own configuration from scratch because I liked to learn more about ways to customize Neovim. Also, I felt the need to decide for myself which feature I need and which one I don't. So I see this as a way to question my own needs for an IDE.

Setup on Windows

I personally prefer a config folder in my home direcotry on Windows. Because I don't like looking for things in the hidden Windows AppData folder. To have a similar experiance as on Linux, I set the environment variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME = $env:USERPROFILE\.config.

Since a few additional tools are needed from time to time, it makes sense to install a package manager like scoop. For example Treesitter requires a C++ compiler, which we can easily install using scoop install gcc.

PowerShell 7.x

There are two different versions of the PowerShell. For details more details see: [Differences between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7.x] (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/whats-new/differences-from-windows-powershell?view=powershell-7.3)

It is recommended to install it, because the mason plugin requires PowerShell 7.x (pwsh.exe).

Search for the latest version: winget search Microsoft.PowerShell

Name               Id                           Version Source
--------------------------------------------------------------
PowerShell         Microsoft.PowerShell         7.3.8.0 winget
PowerShell Preview Microsoft.PowerShell.Preview 7.4.0.6 winget

Install the PowerShell: winget install --id Microsoft.PowerShell --source winget

Setup on Linux

• Use tar-file from githup-repo
  • apt-get install only provides an old version
• Install gcc and g++

Customize OrgMode

The default org agenda file path is ~/.org, but you can configure your own default path by setting the environment variable ORG_AGENDA_FILES.
