PennyVim

PennyVim (or pvim) is a minimal IDE-like layer on top of a pure neovim install.

It's inspired by LunarVim.

Requirements

• neovim version 0.5 or above.
• git
• pip3

Install

sh <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Peterkmoss/pennyvim/dev/utils/install.sh)

Usage

Use the pvim command to launch PennyVim.

Features

• Native LSP configured
• Only minimal plugins
• User configuration layer (Partially)

Built-in plugins

• packer.nvim (plugin manager)
• edge (colorscheme)
• nvim-lspconfig (lsp config support)
• nvim-treesitter (better syntax highlighting - but can do a lot more)
• which-key.nvim (making keymappings and showing what mappings there are (and what they do))
• nvim-autopairs (making pairs for quotes, brackets, etc.)
• barbar.nvim (bufferline)
• nvim-web-dev-icons (icons in file explorer)
• nvim-comment (easy commenting)
• telescope (finding files and a lot more)
• nvim-compe (autocomplete plugin)
• galaxyline.nvim (status bar)
• gitsigns.nvim (vscode-like git diff to the left of the line numbers)
• nvim-dap (debugging support)

Keymappings

Default leader key (prefix key): <space>

Pressing space while inside PennyVim will show which-key and all the available keymappings there.

The ones without the leader-key are shown below.

Window Switching

• <C-[h,j,k,l]>: <C-w>[h,j,k,l]

Buffer Switching

• <tab>: next buffer
• <s-tab>: previous buffer

Indenting

• <: <gv
• >: >gv

Why this project?

I found myself having a hard time configuring native lsp for nvim, so decided to make this layer on top to help others not needing to do the same work.

There are a few built-in plugins and keybinds that I find everyone should be using, but other than that I try to keep the pre-configured stuff to a minimum.
