find modules/nixvim/ -name "*.nix" -type f -exec cat {} + | wc -l 3890I’d say I’ve spent enough time configuring neovim 😄
(Btw, highly recommend configuring neovim through nixvim if you’re already using nix. Incredibly stable. I had to fix one plugin or another all the time with plain nvim. Now, literally never. Plus,
nix run github:<username>/<repo>#nvimon any nix-enabled system, and get dropped into your exact config, keybinds, theme, plugins and all. I’ve set it up to expose language-enabled variants by appending e.g..goor.pythonto that command.)(Sorry my comments tend to go off-topic)
interesting how things change. i started out downloading scripts from vim.org before the github days. finally after 10years I got fed up and looked for a plugin manager. moved to packer.
a couple of years later, that went dead so I was forced to move again. now I’m on lazy.nvim which works well for me.
nvim decided to ship a default plugin manager. im dreading the day I have to migrate to that… (not cause it’s better/worse, but cause migrating is a pain)
Funny, I also went from packer to lazy.nvim, but then hopped off and redid my config in nix. Hadn’t actually heard about the default package manager. That seems like a good thing for the ecosystem!
My fave comment. Handy.
