My custom Neovim configuration with full battery for Python, C++, Markdown, LaTeX and more...
This is my Neovim configuration for all the platforms I use (Linux, Windows and macOS).
init.vimis the config file for terminal Neovim, and
ginit.vimis the additional config file for GUI client of Neovim (I am using neovim-qt for now on Windows).
My configurations are heavily documented to make it as clear as possible. While you can download the whole repository and use it, it is not recommended though. Good configurations are personal. Everyone should have his or her unique config file. You are encouraged to copy from this this repo the part you feel useful and add it to your own Nvim config.
See doc here on how to install Nvim's dependencies, Nvim itself, and how to configure on different platforms (Linux, macOS and Windows).
