Tracking some of the changes I made to the stock AstroNvim. My config: https://github.com/jchai01/astrovim-config-v4.git

Changes Link to heading

Show hidden files in Neo-Tree by default Link to heading

Under ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/neotree.lua:

return {
  "nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim",
  ...
  },
  opts = {
    filesystem = {
      filtered_items = {
	      visible = true,
	      show_hidden_count = true,
	      hide_dotfiles = false,
	      hide_gitignored = true,
	      hide_by_name = {
	        -- '.git',
	        -- '.DS_Store',
	        -- 'thumbs.db',
	      },
	      never_show = {},
      },
    }
  }
}

Note: shift + h toggles hidden file.

Add whichwrap Link to heading

Under ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/astrocore.lua:

wrap = false, -- sets vim.opt.wrap

Other ways to do it:

vim.cmd "set whichwrap+=<,>,[,],h,l"

Highlight all text with Leader +a Link to heading

["<Leader>a"] = { "<esc>gg0VG", desc = "Select all text" },

Plugins Link to heading

Debugprint Link to heading

Automatically adds debug/print statements. repo

• g?v print statement variable at cursor position, after current line.
• g?V print statement variable at cursor position, before current line.
• g?p print statement after current line.
• g?P print statement before current line.

surround.nvim Link to heading

Create a new file named surorund.nvim under ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins

return {
  {
    "kylechui/nvim-surround",
    tag = "*", -- Use for stability; omit to use `main` branch for the latest features
    config = function()
    require("nvim-surround").setup({
      -- Configuration here, or leave empty to use defaults
    })
    end,
  },
}

• In normal mode: ysiw + symbol, for example ). (think of ysiw as “You Surround In Word”)
• In visual mode: after highlighting the word, shift + s followed by symbol.

Note: Use the ) symbol instead of the ( to ensure no spaces around the surround. My current config corrects this behaviour

vim-signatures Link to heading

View vim marks.

Create a new file named vim-signatures.lua under ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins

return {
    "kshenoy/vim-signature",
    opts = {},
    dependencies = {},
    config = function ()
    end,
}

LSP auto formatting messes with vim marks and makes them disappear, haven’t found a fix.

Others Link to heading

• Ensure latest NodeJS is installed otherwise Javascript LSP won’t work. If you are not on a bleeding edge/rolling release distro, do not install NodeJS with your package manager as it will install older versions.
• Leader + uw toggles word wrap. Default behaviour can be defined in astrocore.lua too.
