My Neovim config

Fast, IDE-grade Neovim setup with 20 plugins using native vim.pack (no plugin manager needed)

• Sub-50ms startup using native vim.pack (no lazy.nvim/packer overhead)
• Custom UI components (statusline, bufferline, session manager) without extra plugins
• 15+ LSP servers pre-configured with format-on-save
• Session persistence that restores your workspace as VSCode

I also wrote a series of articles about my Neovim config

Installation

# Backup existing config
mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim.bak

# Clone
git clone https://github.com/tduyng/nvim.git ~/.config/nvim

Development

Validate the config before committing:

just validate  # Run all checks (loads config in headless nvim + checks formatting)
