This is my Neovim config heavily inspired by LunarVim. In fact, some files and code chunks are taken directly from that project.

This config is a work in progress. Certain things may not make sense, or may be redundant as I am still learning Lua and the file-tree structure of the ~/.config/nvim/ directory.

This configuration should load fast depsite the high(ish) number of plugins. Packer.nvim has been used to optimise load order and to lazy-load a large number of plugins. I must note that much of the load order has been inspired by the NvChad project, particularly with regards to nvim-cmp and its associated extensions. The plugin impatient.nvim improves startup time greatly, and is highly recommended.

I find it useful to be able to jump back and forth between the file tree with the same keymap <leader>-. I bind this keymap to the command :NvimTreeFocus (for focusing the tree when outside the tree buffer) and then add the following into require("nvim-tree").setup({}) (alongside all my other configuation):

require("nvim-tree").setup({
	(...)
	view = {
		mappings = {
			list = {
				{ key = "<leader>-", cb = ":wincmd p<cr>", mode = "n" },
			},
		},
	},
})

The command to be executed is :wincmd p<cr> which basically just takes you back to the previous buffer.
