darkcloud-nvimconfig

A theme, config and collection of plugins for Neovim

Requirements

  • Neovim: neovim is a hard dependency
  • Bash: Required by the update and gentags scripts.
  • Coreutils: Required by the update script.
  • Git: Required by the update script and git-related plugins.

Optional Requirements

  • Compilers, Linters and Runtimes: The ale plugin can use compilers, linters and runtimes to provide real-time syntax checking.
  • CTags: Required by the tagbar and deoplete plugins as well as the gentags script (ctags website).
  • Powerline Fonts: Required to enable the fancier looking status line (powerline-fonts repo).
  • Python: Required for deoplete autocompletion and MatchTagAlways functionality.
  • Neovim Python Module: Required for deoplete autocompletion.
  • Python Msgpack: Required for deoplete autocompletion.

Distribution Features

  • Default Configuration: A complete set of defaults, focusing on the most modern settings that still provide a compatible experience.
  • Custom theme: An original colour scheme with explicit values set to optimize the look of individual filetypes.
  • Key Bindings/Aliases: A set of bindings and aliases defined to group similar features and provide numerous (and sometimes more familiar) ways to access options.
  • Plugins: A set of plugins have been included and configured to provide support for most normally-unsupported filetypes, and a set of features useful when using Vim as an editor.
  • Custom Configuration: A second vimrc and bundle folder are included that aren't maintained as part of the repo, making custom plugins and configuration easy to add.

Installation

  1. Clone the darkcloud-nvimconfig repo and run the update script.
  2. By default the config expects darkcloud-nvimconfig to be installed @ /etc/darkcloud-nvimconfig, if you're installing it elsewhere you should add let g:darkcloudpath = "/path/to/darkcloud-nvimconfig" to your neovim init.
  3. Add source /path/to/darkcloud-nvimconfig/init.vim to the neovim init that you want to use the config with

Configuration

  • Configure Variables: The following variables can be added to vim/user.vim and have their values set to the values you require:
    • g:autostartchecker: 1 = Enable the syntax checker when a file is opened | 0 = Check syntax only after being toggled on (default: 0)
    • g:autostarttagbar: 1 = Load a file with the tagbar visible | 0 = Require the tagbar to be toggled on (default: 0)
    • g:enabletreesitter: 1 = Use treesitter for compatible files | 0 = Keep treesitter disabled (default: 0)
    • g:enablecompletion: 1 = Enable autocompletion | 0 = Disable autocompletion (default: 0)
    • g:enableautotags: 1 = Automatically generate tags files | 0 = Disable tag generation (default: 0)
    • g:enablepowerline: 1 = Render the statusline using characters that require powerline-patched fonts | 0 = Render the statusbar with characters that work with all fonts (default: 0)
  • Custom Settings: Settings with priority over those set by darkcloud-nvimconfig can be added to vim/user.vim or any of the folders in the runtimepath.
  • Custom Plugins: Pathogen compatible plugins can be cloned or extracted to darkcloud-nvimconfig/vim/bundle.user/, or a folder named bundle in any of the folders in the runtimepath.
  • Update Script: (requires: bash+git) Use the update script to update the project and submodules, as well as handle any required maintenance, generate docs from the pathogen plugins and create missing config scripts with preset values.
