💤 LazyVim Configuration

My personal Neovim setup built on top of LazyVim, featuring some colorschemes, AI assistance, and enhanced development tools.

Features

• Base: LazyVim distribution for a solid foundation
• AI Integration:
  • GitHub Copilot with custom keymaps (<C-J> to accept)
  • Avante.nvim for AI chat & composer-like integration
  • Claude Code (not really inside neovim but a nice addition using neovim+cc in tmux)
• Multiple Colorschemes: Tokyo Night (default), Catppuccin, Dracula, Everforest, Kanagawa, Monokai Pro, Rose Pine, Scholar, and Zenbones
• Language Support: Enhanced LSP configurations for C#, Swift, TypeScript, SQL, and more
• Productivity: LSP's, Tmux navigation, custom keymaps

Terminal Setup

• Terminal: Ghostty - A fast native terminal emulator
• Multiplexer: tmux with TPM (Tmux Plugin Manager). Note this one is not really inside neovim. Head out to typecraft for a great intro to tmux.
  • Theme: Catppuccin with custom status bar
  • Navigation: vim-tmux-navigator for unified pane switching
  • Prefix: C-s (Ctrl+s)
  • Pane Management:
    • <prefix> h/j/k/l - Resize panes
    • <prefix> x - Kill pane
    • <prefix> r - Reload config
• Workflow: Split layout with Neovim (left pane) + AI assistant (right pane)
  • Primary: Claude Code
  • Alternative: OpenCode with LLMs via OpenRouter API (test models like Kimi K2 or Qwen3)

Key Mappings

• All the ones provided by LazyVim, quite a few.
• <C-h/j/k/l> - Navigate between tmux panes and Neovim splits seamlessly (thanks to tmux-navigator)
• <C-J> - Accept Copilot suggestion
• <leader>rg - Replace word under cursor globally

Notable Plugins

• avante.nvim - AI ask & edit integration for code assistance
• copilot.vim - GitHub Copilot support
• vim-tmux-navigator - Seamless tmux/vim navigation
• molten.nvim - Interactive code evaluation
• Multiple LSP servers via Mason

Installation

1. Backup your existing Neovim config
2. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/r0llingclouds/nvim ~/.config/nvim

3. Start Neovim and let LazyVim install everything

Requirements

• Neovim >= 0.9.0
• Git
• A Nerd Font
• Node.js (for Copilot)
• Python 3 (for Molten)
• Claude Code (for AI-assisted development)

Colorscheme

Default is Tokyo Night. Change in lua/plugins/tokyo-night.lua or use :colorscheme command.

Tips

I like to experiment with my config, so I use this bash alias for quick backups:

alias bkvi='cp -r ~/.config/nvim ~/Desktop/nvim && cd ~/Desktop && zip -r nvim.zip nvim && rm -rf nvim && cd - > /dev/null && echo "✅ neovim back up 📦"'
