WSL
I'm using Ubuntu through WSL on Windows 10 & 11
Yanking to OS clipboard registry is currently customized for WSL specifically (let g:clipboard = { from lazy.lua). Aside: :h clipboard-wsl
A note on Windows 11 & its Terminal app:
[ctrl] [tab]is automatically set up to "move to next tab"- I have also defined a
[ctrl] [tab]keybinding in the autohotkey file, to "move to previous open tab" (just like hitting[ctrl] 6in vim)
If you want to use the latter, you'll have to delete the former. You can open up Terminal settings and delete the "move to next tab".

Install Ripgrep for Telescope

curl -LO https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/releases/download/14.1.0/ripgrep_14.1.0-1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i ripgrep_14.1.0-1_amd64.deb
or...

Other installation methods: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep
Install C compiler for Nvim-treesitter
Ubuntu
sudo apt install build-essential
Install nodejs and npm for Lsp-zero (tsserver, html etc.)
Ubuntu
sudo apt install nodejs npm
Autohotkey (Windows app, for extra keymaps)
I have made some additional keymaps using Authotkey.
(Some keymaps are too hard / impossible to define in plain Neovim)
Install AutoHotkey:
Download v2.0, launch AutoHotkey_2.x.x_setup, accept the default suggestions
Start script
Run ahk file
:lua Ahk() (might need to source :so autohotkey/init.lua first)
or
click 'run script' from the right-click menu on the ahk-file
Stop script
Alt+Esc
LazyGit (UI for version control)
Install as explained in https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit#ubuntu,
run
LAZYGIT_VERSION=$(curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/jesseduffield/lazygit/releases/latest" | grep -Po '"tag_name": "v\K[^"]*') curl -Lo lazygit.tar.gz "https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/releases/latest/download/lazygit_${LAZYGIT_VERSION}_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz" tar xf lazygit.tar.gz lazygit sudo install lazygit /usr/local/bin
Verify installation
lazygit --version

Tmux (for terminal window management)
Ubuntu or Debian
apt install tmux
Other installation methods: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/Installing
If you want to use this repo's .tmux.conf-file as your tmux config
[!WARNING] This Neovim will OVERWRITE your ~/.tmux.conf if you have one
[space] [space] tmux
Install plugin manager
git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpmInstall plugins
Open tmux, and run:
[tmux prefix], I
Emmet-ls (node)
- Install node
npm install -g emmet-ls- for jsx code completion
Clone config
Warning
If you already have a .config/nvim-directory with important files, make sure to create a backup of them first!
git clone git@github.com:paalss/nvim.git ~/.config/nvim
In WSL, navigate to the files you want to edit and run:
nvim
If you get errors, try :Lazy restore to use the package versions specified in lazy-lock.json
- View welcome screen and important keybindings: Run
nvim
Maps:
:h fugitive-maps
Commit maps:
:h fugitive_c
Commit using git's default configured editor -> (n)vim
C (uppercase)
Edit file in new modal:
e
Open file in default code editor:
o
The 'terminal' here is just a tmux pane -- Neovim terminal plugins such as Toggleterm and FTerm crashed a lot and were a pain to use
Start Neovim inside of tmux
eg.
tmux
nvim .
You can also run :terminal and :autoinsert, but I haven't tested that as much
Close with exit (better yet create an alias for "exit" in your .bashrc file. I'm using alias q="exit")
Suspend Neovim: [ctrl] z
Bring back Neovim: fg
- Visual mode
v - Enter visual multi mode
[ctrl] n
Detailed information on how to use this plugin can be found in :h nvim-surround.usage.
