NvChad Custom Config

this config has a few changes compared to NvChads default, example config.

Project specific configurations

You may create a .nvim folder inside any working directory you want.

within there, you can create (as of now) 3 files.

file	description
init.lua	contains vim specific configurations
lsp.lua	to set up the (L)anguage-(S)erver-(P)rotocol for your Project
dap.lua	All your configurations for the (D)ebug-(A)dapter-(P)rotocol go here.

Project specific Language Server Settings

In addition to the lsp.lua you can also define configurations for any of the preinstalled languageservers.

[LangaugeServerName].settings.lua

These are These have to return a Table with the settings for the Language Server. The returned Settings get mixed into the existing default settings. (So you you only have to change, what you need, not redefine everything).

Language Server	File	Languages
gopls	gopls.settings.lua	Go / GoLang
tsserver	tsserver.settings.lua	Javascript/Typescript
html	html.settings.lua	HTML
cssls	cssls.settings.lua	CSS
clangd	clangd.settings.lua	CLangd

Please refere to the .nvim-example folder in this repo.

DAP configurations.

The Adapters are configured in this Repos dap/adapters/init.lua.

To install them I recommend Mason.
To activate them / make them visible to DAP you need to define an executable Adapter, you need to setup a minimal executable config using the Adapters-Name you got from Mason as the command.

dap.adapters.chrome = {
    type = "executable",
    command = "chrome-debug-adapter",
}

DAP configurations.

the "Launch" - configurations are defined on a per project basis again. See the Project specific configuration section above. The go into the [projectroot]/.nvim/dap.lua file

Here is an example, using the Adapter from above to open the Brave-Browser on MacOS, and navigate to a remote servers URL when ever you are on a html, css, or javascript file.

local dap = require("dap")

-- Setup a launch config for each of these 3 filetypes
local filetypes = { "javascript", "html", "css" }

for _, filetype in pairs(filetypes) do
	dap.configurations[filetype] = {
		{
			request = "launch",
			type = "chrome",
			url = "http://localhost:7353",
			webRoot = "${workspaceFolder}",
			runtimeExecutable = "/Applications/Brave Browser.app/Contents/MacOS/Brave Browser",
			userDataDir = true,
		},
	}
end

To start a Debug-Session just hit <leader>ds

Telescope/Finder changes

key	effect
<leader>ff	now follows symlinks
<leader>fa	now shows all Files in (including hidden once)
<leader>fw	disabled
<leader>fs	does the live-grep instead

In Visual-Mode enhancements.

you can press one of the following keys to surround what is selected with the following characters

key	surround
(	(Selected)
[	[Selected]
{	{Selected}
.	.Selected.
"	"Selected"
'	'Selected'
-	-Selected-
_	_Selected_
*	*Selected*
~	~Selected~
/	Selected
`	`Selected`

so pressing viw*/ on a word quickly wraps it into a block comment.
word => /*word*/

Also works in Block-Select mode

With any text selected, you can press <S-k> or <S-j> to move selected lines up and down.

at last, while in visual mode you can press <C-r> to bring up a quick replacement command.

Marker Changes

You can use <leader>m0 to <leader>m9 to set global marks in registers A to J.

Pressing m0 to m9 will jump to these.

Tmux Navigation

This Config uses TMUX-Navigation. Therefore navigating between splits is done via <C-h|j|k|l>. If you set up your tmux to do the same, navigation between TMUX and Vim is seemless.

Quick Split creation

via E h|j|k|l you can create a new split in any of the 4 cardinal directions from the current editor.

Markdown Shortcuts

pressing the following sequences in Normale Mode will do:

Sequence	Action
qt	turn line into a Todo Task
qd	turn line into a done Todo Task
qc	strike line
qx	remove strike and Todo-checkbox
