Personal Neovim

A focused daily-driver configuration: Neovim’s modal editing with a small Helix-style selection layer, a searchable action surface, and a quiet opaque Personal theme.

Requirements

• Neovim 0.11+
• git, rg, and make
• Formatter and LSP executables only for languages you use

Defaults

• Relative line numbers, visible sign column, and a one-line command area
• Smart-case search
• Manual folding, disabled until explicitly used
• Inline diagnostics, indent guides, and format-on-save disabled by default
• <C-s> saves in normal, insert, and visual mode

Navigation and selection

• s, m, and % retain the Helix-style selection layer
• . and ; retain native Vim repeat behavior
• [b / ]b switch buffers
• [d / ]d switch diagnostics
• [s / ]s switch document symbols
• [f / ]f, [t / ]t, [a / ]a, [l / ]l, [i / ]i navigate Tree-sitter targets

Search and actions

• <leader>/ — live grep from the project root
• <leader>ff — files from the project root
• <leader>fr — recent files
• <leader>fE — files by extension
• <leader>fs / <leader>fS — document/workspace symbols
• <leader>ft — curated theme picker
• <leader>h/ — live grep Neovim and plugin documentation
• <leader>hh — help tags
• <leader>? — curated action palette; searches mappings and meaningful custom commands
• <leader>K — which-key groups

Bookmarks and jump history

• <leader>ja — toggle a persistent project bookmark
• <leader>jb — browse project bookmarks in Telescope
• <leader>jl — browse native Neovim jump history with path, line, and nearby text
• <C-o> / <C-i> — native jumplist back/forward

Bookmarks use lspmark.nvim: they are project-scoped, persistent, and searchable by comment, file, symbol, and kind.

Code actions

• K, gd, gD, gr, gi, grn, and gra use standard Neovim LSP behavior
• <leader>rf — format the current buffer
• <leader>dd — buffer diagnostics picker
• <leader>do — diagnostics at cursor
• <leader>dq — diagnostics to quickfix

UI and tools

• <leader>bb / <leader>bd — list/delete buffers
• <leader>y / <leader>yc — Yazi in cwd/current buffer path
• <leader>cp — switch project
• <leader>tf, <leader>td, <leader>ti, <leader>tr, <leader>ts — toggle format, inline diagnostics, indent guides, relative numbers, spellcheck

Themes

The theme picker is intentionally limited to:

• personal — default, opaque blue-black surface
• dark_af
• doom-one
• kanagawa
• golden-gate
• github_dark_dimmed

personal is the palette source for the matching Ghostty and tmux themes.

Commands

• :ConfigOpen
• :ConfigReload — reload core configuration; restart after plugin-spec changes
• :ProjectFiles, :ProjectGrep
• :FindFilesByExt <extension>
• :FormatEnable, :FormatDisable
• :ToggleInlineDiagnostics, :ToggleInlineBlame
