nvim.conf

My configuration of neovim, which I modify from nvim-basic-ide. For more information about usage, please refer to :h dvim in neovim with my configuration.

Steps to setup

1. install neovim 0.9+

2. install ueberzugpp, unzip, nodejs, npm

3. install plugins by Layz sync

4. add the server to this list: servers install language server by :Mason

5. add treesitter parser in list, install treesitter for programe languages by :TSInstall

6. add patch fonts on Nerd Font compatible font

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/fonts
cp xxx.otf ~/.local/share/fonts/
fc-cache -f -v
fc-list | grep "<name-of-font>"

7. set terminal font as patched font

8. check health by :checkhealth

AI-assisted workflow

This config ships with several complementary AI helpers:

• sidekick.nvim – drives Copilot “Next Edit Suggestions” and hosts an AI CLI terminal. Use <leader>aa to open the terminal, <leader>ap for the prompt picker, and <Tab> (in Insert mode) to jump or apply NES edits before falling back to cmp completions.
• copilot.lua – keeps the Copilot LSP running in the background. Inline ghost text is intentionally disabled (suggestion.enabled = false) so sidekick and cmp own the completion UX. Run :Copilot auth once per machine, and :Copilot disable if you want to pause Copilot entirely.
• copilot-cmp – exposes Copilot completions through nvim-cmp. They appear in the completion menu with the Copilot icon and respect the existing <CR> / <Tab> bindings.
• mcphub.nvim – optional command :MCPHub to launch a model-context-protocol hub for local/remote AI backends. Start it when you need MCP routing; it stays out of the way otherwise.

If you ever see overlapping behaviour (multiple tools expanding a <Tab> or opening a chat buffer), prefer sidekick’s bindings and disable the specific plugin for that buffer (:Sidekick nes disable, :Copilot disable) to keep the workflow predictable.
