Nvim(Chad) configuration

Custom config for NvChad v2.5

---

Introduction

I do not own anything related to NvChad, this is only the configs that I use with it.

I have been a VSCode user for years and I am slowly moving forward to NVIM, so this is my config that mimics VSCode key binds and UI, with a goal of removing plugins as I am getting used to it and learning more about NVIM.

Installation guide

1. Same as NvChad
2. I am using Hack Nerd Font
3. My terminal is WezTerm
4. I am using an M1, so, some things may not work out of the box for you

Help

For questions feel free to open an issue or you can find me in the NvChad discord server.

Keybinds

All the keybindings are available in the mappings.lua file, and also described in the NVCheatSheet, you can access it with <leader>ch. Common Text key binds are also available:

• Ctrl + A Select All
• Ctrl + X Cut
• Ctrl + C Copy
• Ctrl + V Paste
• Ctrl + Z Undo

Formatting

I do not like the format on save, so my config is set to format on <leader>fm only, but you can change it to whatever you want, to do it, just uncomment the autocmd in the autocmd.lua file.

For .go files, you can use <leader>fi to complete imports.

Improved GoToDefinition

I am using universal CTAGS to have a better GoToDefinition, the tags are generated automatically with guttentags. Keybind to use is <C-]>.
