Neovim

LazyVim

LazyVim is the used plugin manager.

Following is a list of plugins supported by LazyVim. For some of them I provide explicit configuration that overrides the defaults:

• Octo: Edit GH PRs, issues and discussions.
• [snacks.nvim]
  • Snacks Picker

Runtime Dependencies of Plugins

Most plugins currently use Mason for runtime dependencies, but the plan is to migrate to Mise for centralized runtime dependencies management of Neovim plugins.

Plugin	Runtime Dependencies	Manager
copilot.lua	Node.js >=22	Mise
TODO	TODO	TODO

See Mise: Managing Multiple Versions of the Same Tool for how to configure tool versions for plugins with runtime dependencies (like copilot.lua), which often let you configure the runtime executable path through options like copilot_node_command. The dependency executable being used can be often checked as e.g. the command

:Copilot version

[Copilot.lua] Neovim 0.11.4
copilot language server 1.377.0
copilot.lua 3cd5086c28c5769f5db147721f457a3e081de254
Node.js 24.9.0
Language server: /Users/user/.local/share/nvim/lazy/copilot.lua/copilot/js/language-server.js

Plugins List

Zk

zk-nvim is used for note-taking with Zk.

Custom Commands

These custom commands are tightly coupled to the Zk configuration in home/private_dot_config/zk/config.toml and the templates in home/private_dot_config/zk/templates/:

• :ZkNewLink: Creates a new Zk note in the "archive" directory, inserts a link to it at the current cursor position in normal mode, prompts for a title, and opens the new buffer with the cursor positioned at the last line in insert mode. This relies on the group.archive.note configuration (ID-based filename, note.md template) and the format.markdown link format.
• :ZkNewJournal: Creates a new Zk note in the "journal" directory (using the journal template with date-based title and filename), and opens the new buffer with the cursor positioned at the last line in insert mode. This relies on the group.journal.note configuration (date-time filename, journal.md template).

Keymaps

• <leader>zn: Run :ZkNewLink command.
• <leader>zj: Run :ZkNewJournal command.

Colorschemes

• Gruvbox (default)
• NeoSolarized

Sidekick (LazyVim extra)

• Copilot Tab completion and next cursor position prediction.
• Integration with many code assistant CLIs.

Project-Local Configuration

Plugin nvim-config-local is used to load project-local configuration files. It looks for Lua file .nvim.lua, asks for approval and loads them. By convention in these dotfiles, they are to contain only imperative overrides of configuration options set up by LazyVim, which uses function setup of the declared plugin. For ready-to-use examples that can be copied into projects as .nvim.lua files, see ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/nvim-config-local/templates/*.lua.

There is a custom mechanism to use these templates, available through commands

• :DotfilesConfigInit: Create or update .nvim.lua and append command that loads (requires) all available modules under .nvim/, either files or directories, be them from templates or not.
• :DotfilesConfigCopy: Interactively select a template and copy it to .nvim/.
