nvim

My configurations for neovim (at least version 0.7), neovide, neovim-qt files.

• Based on Lua.

• Mostly a port from my original vimscript.

• Original Lua configuration ideas taken from Neovim-from-scratch

• The current configuration has diverged significantly from the setup in Neovim-from-scratch, with tons of custom functions. Example changes:

  • custom functions for finding top level git directory, Telescope search, Telescope find files

  • custom autocommands for setting background (dark / light) based on daylight. The daylight is determined based on timings (7 am to 7 pm), or optionally based on a file ~/.config/nvim/day_time_file.txt. There is no configuration for this - the nvim configuration automatically falls back to 7 am to 7 pm if this file is absent or if it is unable to be read correctly. The format of this file is - just one entry with four numbers, with the hours in 24 hour format:

    starthour startminute endhour endminute

    This file can be populated once a day or once a week using a cronjob. This command may take a couple of seconds to execute and hence it is not a good idea to run it from inside nvim. An example shell script that can be run from the cronjob is the following:

    #!/bin/sh
    # Substitude "<latitude>" and "<longitude>" below with the values at your
    # location. At present the location is a fixed value. If you are not roaming
    # around the world every other day then it is going to be fixed anyway
    url='https://api.sunrisesunset.io/json?lat=<latitude>&lng=<longitude>&time_format=24'
    curl -s -X GET "$url"   | \
        tr ',' '\n'         | \
        sed -n -e '/_light":/s/^.*_light":"\([0-9]\+\):\([0-9]\+\):.*$/\1 \2/p' | \
        tr '\n' ' ' > ~/.config/nvim/day_time_file.txt

  • custom setting for root vs normal user so that editor settings for root user is very distinctive.

  • custom functions for setting fonts based on whether I am working on my laptop and whether laptop is connected to (larger) external display

  • custom Lua functions for coc.nvim

  • custom Lua based settings for cscope. Latest neovim does not have cscope support any more

  • custom setting for checking whether we are running in a terminal

zsh-config

Zsh configuration files. Most of them are more than a decade old.
