mv ~/.local/share/nvim ~/.local/share/nvim.bak
mv ~/.local/state/nvim ~/.local/state/nvim.bak

nvim

Keybindings Reference

Custom keybindings are organized across two files:

File	Style	When to use
lua/mapping.lua	astrocore opts.mappings	Best place — AstroNvim-native, supports which-key descriptions, grouped keys
lua/shared/mappings.lua	Raw vim.keymap.set	For mappings that should work regardless of AstroNvim (e.g., VSCode)

See :help astrocore-mappings for details on the AstroNvim mapping format.

Package Managers

Manager	What it installs	Example
:Lazy	Neovim plugins (.lua files)	nvim-treesitter, blink.cmp, neo-tree.nvim
:Mason	External binaries (executables)	lua-language-server, ty, stylua

• :Lazy — for Neovim features (UI, keybindings, file explorer, completion engine)
• :Mason — for language servers, formatters, linters, debuggers (anything that runs as a separate process)
