Standard NeoVim install on Ubuntu 16.04, via this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~neovim-ppa
Location for files is ~/.config/nvim/ , with ~/.config/nvim/init.vim
replacing the conventional ~/.vimrc
Also included are resources to make a desktop launcher, complete with
a scaled version of the icon. Move the .desktop files to:
$ ~/.local/share/applications/
...and move the .png icon to:
$ ~/.local/share/icons/
... then set your preferences for opening files accordingly, search for NeoVim and add the program to the launcher.
The init.vim setup includes the following packages:
- ag.vim
- deoplete-go
- deoplete-jedi
- deoplete-ternjs
- deoplete
- goyo
- hexmode
- matchem
- neomake
- nerdcommenter
- nerdtree
- supertab
- vim-ace
- vim-action-ag
- vim-airline
- vim-easy-align
- vim-gitgutter
- vim-go
- vim-indent-guides
- vim-lexical
- vim-litecorrect
- vim-pencil
- vim-pug
- vim-qml
- vim-startify
- vim-surround
Getting most of the plugins working requires only running :PlugInstall
when using nvim for the first time. However, a few other steps need to
be taken to enable all features of this setup.
Deoplete: Getting autocomplete and suggetions with deoplete is quite
easy. At the command line install pip for both python 2 and 3, and the
neovim package for each:
$ sudo apt install python-pip python3-pip
$ sudo pip2 install --upgrade neovim
$ sudo pip3 install --upgrade neovim
Once in nvim, run :UpdateRemotePlugins, restart, and deoplete will be working.
vim-go: This is a package that provides a crazy level of functionality
for go-lang development. First, make sure your $GOPATH is set; this is
requisite for a working go-lang setup, so at some point it needs to be
done. Usually, it's /home/$USER/.go/. Once in nvim, run
:GoInstallBinaries, done.
Cut & Paste: NeoVim requires the installation of gpm to provide
clipboard functionality:
$ sudo apt install gpm
which provides copy of the highlighted content with a left mouse click, and will paste from the regular buffer into INSERT mode with a middle click.
JavaScript/ES5+: Install NodeJS (with a tool like
nvm) and use npm to install
ternjs and eslint globally. Both tern and eslint require
configuration before they will work. Included is a very basic
.tern-config file which you can put in your $HOME directory for
a global basic configuration.
