A highly modular, configurable, extensible and easy to use Neovim configuration wrapper written in Nix. Designed for flexibility and ease of use, this flake allows you to easily configure your Neovim instance with a few lines of Nix code.
to get a feel for the base configuration. The package exposes `.#nix` as the default package. You may use `.#nix`, `.#tidal` or `.#maximal` to get different configurations.
P.S. The `maximal` configuration is _massive_ and will take a while to build. To get a feel for the configuration, use the default `nix` or `tidal` configurations.
See the [neovim-flake Manual](https://notashelf.github.io/neovim-flake/) for detailed installation guide(s), configuration, available options, and release notes.

The philosophy behind this flake configuration is to create an easily configurable and reproducible Neovim environment. While it does sacrifice in size
(which I know some users will find _disagreeable_), it offers a lot of flexibility and customizability in exchange for the large size of the flake inputs.
The KISS (Keep it simple, stupid) principle has been abandoned here, however, you _can_ ultimately leverage the flexibility of this flake to declare a configuration that follows KISS principles, it is very easy to bring your own plugins and configurations from non-nix. What this flake is meant to be does eventually fall into your hands. Whether you are a developer, writer, or live coder, you can quickly craft a config that suits every project's need. Think of it like a distribution of Neovim that takes advantage of pinning vim plugins and
One should never get a broken config when setting options. If setting multiple options results in a broken Neovim, file an issue! Each plugin knows when another plugin which allows for smart configuration of keybindings and automatic setup of things like completion sources and languages.
eleminate the need to build the flake from source, but it is still a large flake. If you do not need all the features, you can use the default `nix` output
instead of the `maximal` output. This will reduce size by a lot, but you will lose some language specific features.
**A**: Yes. As a matter of fact, I am actively working on making this flake smaller. Unfortunately the process of providing everything possible by itself makes the flake large. Best I can do is to optimize the flake as much as possible by selecting plugins that are small and fast. And the binary cache, so at least you don't have to build it from source.
**A**: No. If you feel the need to ask that question, then you have missed the whole point of using nix and ultimately this flake. The whole reason we use nix is to be able to handle EVERYTHING declaratively, well including the LSP and plugin installations.
**A**: Maybe. Open an issue using the appropriate template and I will consider it. I do not intend to add _every plugin that is in existence_, but I will consider it, should it offer something useful to the flake.
