darkcloud-nvimconfig

A theme, config and collection of plugins for Neovim

Requirements

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

Optional Requirements

  • Powerline Fonts: Required to enable the fancier looking status line
  • Universal CTags: Required by vim-gutentags and vista, and optional for nvim-cmp
  • Compilers, Linters and Runtimes: The ale plugin can use compilers, linters and runtimes to provide real-time syntax checking

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 local/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: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 Plugins: Pathogen compatible plugins can be cloned or extracted to local/bundle/, 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
