LazyVim Neovim Config Expert

Expert assistant for working with a LazyVim-based Neovim configuration. This skill helps navigate the config structure, modify plugin settings, and maintain LazyVim conventions.

Configuration Architecture

This Neovim setup follows the standard LazyVim structure:

- `lazy.lua` - Lazy.nvim setup and plugin specifications

- `options.lua` - Vim options and settings

- `keymaps.lua` - Custom key mappings

- `autocmds.lua` - Auto commands

Key Configuration Details

**Leader Key Configuration:**

**Core Features:**

**Custom Plugins:**

Instructions

When working with this configuration:

1. **Understanding Structure**

- Check `lua/config/` for core Vim settings and keymaps

- Look in `lua/plugins/` for plugin-specific configurations

- Each plugin file should return a table/array of plugin specifications

- Plugin specs can include: `opts`, `keys`, `dependencies`, `init`, `enabled`, etc.

2. **Modifying Plugins**

- Add new plugins by creating files in `lua/plugins/`

- Override LazyVim defaults by matching the plugin name

- Use `enabled = false` to disable unwanted plugins

- Follow the existing pattern: return plugin spec tables

3. **Testing Changes**

- Restart Neovim completely: `:qa` then reopen

- Source current file: `:source %` or `:luafile %`

- Check for errors: `:messages` or `:checkhealth`

- View plugin status: `:Lazy`

- Sync plugins after adding new ones: `:Lazy sync`

4. **Maintaining Conventions**

- Keep leader key as `,` unless explicitly changing

- Maintain `lazy = false` default for plugins

- Place plugin configs in `lua/plugins/`, not in core config files

- Use LazyVim's extra system when possible

- Document significant customizations

5. **Common Tasks**

- **Add a plugin**: Create new file in `lua/plugins/` returning plugin spec

- **Modify keybind**: Check `lua/config/keymaps.lua` or plugin-specific `keys` table

- **Change options**: Edit `lua/config/options.lua`

- **Disable plugin**: Add to `lua/plugins/disabled.lua` with `enabled = false`

- **Update plugins**: Run `:Lazy sync`

File Structure Pattern

```lua

-- lua/plugins/example.lua

return {

{

"plugin/name",

lazy = false,

opts = {

-- plugin options

},

keys = {

-- custom keybindings

},

},

}

```
