init.vim

This is my personal setting for Neovim.

Install

Neovim

Most essentially, Install Neovim

Then Put the total .config folder in the home directory.

Then neovim will be open by the commandnvim.

Python modual

For using python plugins, neovim modual in python must be installed (pip2 and pip3 are needed):

sudo pip2 install --upgrade neovim
sudo pip3 install --upgrade neovim

tips: remember to update neovim modual and neovim itself regularly.

Vim-plug

vim-plug must be installed for automatically managing your neovim's plugins.

The installation is very easy (for only one command): Installation

Then enter the neovim and execute:

:PlugInstall

All the plugins will be installed properly

Nyaovim

Nyaovim is a perfect GUI fore-end for neovim made by Electron, which can be easily extended. The markdown-preview is available in Nyaovim.

It's easy to install(you should firstly install npm):

npm install -g nyaovim

Then use the command nyaovim for opening it.

Or use electron-packager to package the NyaoVim and install it to your system's desktop(for using it as an app).

Something about icons

For correctly show the icons, nerd-font should be installed. It's alreadily patched in the most popular programming fonts, so just pick one here.

For nyaovim, you should choose the version without "mono", and for neovim in terminal it should contain "mono".

Then you should set the font(non-mono) in NyaoVim(~/.config/nyaovim/nyaovimrc.html), or choose the right font in your terminal(mono).

Some other configuration

• All configuration file is in ~/.config/nvim/(same as ~/.vim for vim), and
• the initialization script is ~/.config/nvim/init.vim(same as ~/.vimrc for vim), and
• plugins installed by vim-plug are in ~/.config/nvim/plugged/
• And the configuration files for NyaoVim are in ~/.config/nyaovim/

It's necessary to read the total init.vim and read the helping files by :h <plugin-name> for knowing how to use all the shortcuts and plugins. Otherwise, all the configuration/plugins is meaningless for being deployed, so just try everything and make it perfect for yourself!

After getting to knowing how to use the plugins installed, the specific configuration is needed for some completion plugins:

• For using c++ completion, you should properly install clang and set the correct path of libclang and headers to enable the deoplete-clang: deoplete-clang
• For using python completion(deoplete-jedi), jedi backend should be installed by typing the command:pip install jedi
• For making the plugin Neomake(grammar checker/automatical compiler) do the right thing in your style, configure the neomake as you like , such as compiling arguments, etc..

TODO

Add the description for using this.
