Neovim Configuration

This configuration is designed for Neovim nightly. It uses vim.pack for package management, which is scheduled to be included in Neovim 0.12+. In addition, you'll notice that I'm a huge fan of mini.nvim and use it extensively in my setup.

Directory Structure

Key concepts:

1. Each plugin has its own configuration file. This makes it easier to navigate to a specific plugin's configuration via a file picker. It also results in smaller files that are easier to read and maintain.

2. Plugins are grouped into three subdirectories: core, mini, and other. Core contains essential configurations that I want to load first. Mini contains configurations for mini.nvim plugins. Other contains configurations for all other plugins.

3. Plugins are loaded in the order of core, mini, and other. Within each of those directories, plugins are loaded in alphabetical order as well, which is why they are prefixed with numbers to ensure the correct loading order.

4. Most mappings are defined in plugin/core/13_mappings so it's easy to see what mappings have been used and what's still available. In some cases, this is not possible, but for the most part, it works well.

5. Lazy loading is achieved using two helper functions from mini.deps called now and later. Any plugin this is essential for startup is loaded with now, while plugins that are not essential are loaded with later.

Below is an overview of the directory structure:
