Table of Contents
This is the current master branch and information here is not final. These are changes from the v0.01 tag.
Special thanks to home-manager for this release. Docs/manual generation, the new module evaluation system, and DAG implementation are from them.
Removed hare language support (lsp/tree-sitter/etc). vim.lsp.hare is no longer defined.
If you use hare and would like it added back, please file an issue.
vim.stratPlugins & vim.optPlugins are now
an enum of string for options sourced from the flake inputs. Users can still provide vim
plugin packages.
If you are contributing and adding a new plugin, add the plugin name to availablePlugins in
types-plugin.nix.
neovimBuilder has been removed for configuration. Using an overlay is no longer required.
See the manual for the new way to configuration.
Treesitter grammars are now configurable with vim.treesitter.grammars.
Utilizes the nixpkgs nvim-treesitter plugin rather than a custom input in order to take advantage of build support of pinned versions.
See relevant discourse post
for more information. Packages can be found under the vimPlugins.nvim-treesitter.builtGrammars namespace.
vim.configRC and vim.luaConfigRC are now of type DAG lines.
This allows for ordering of the config. Usage is the same is in home-manager’s home.activation option.
vim.luaConfigRC = lib.nvim.dag.entryAnywhere "config here"
catppuccin theme is now available as a neovim theme vim.theme.style and lualine theme
vim.statusline.lualine.theme.

Release notes for release 0.2
Added two minimap plugins under vim.minimap. codewindow.nvim is enabled by default, while minimap.vim is
available with its code-minimap dependency.
A complementary plugin, obsidian.nvim and the Neovim alternative for Emacs’ orgmode with orgmode.nvim have been
added. Both will be disabled by default.
Smooth scrolling for ANY movement command is now available with cinnamon.nvim
You will now notice a dashboard on startup. This is provided by the alpha.nvim plugin. You can use any of the
three available dashboard plugins, or disable them entirely.
There is now a scrollbar on active buffers, which can highlight errors by hooking to your LSPs. This is on by
default, but can be toggled off under vim.visuals if seen necessary.
Discord Rich Presence has been added through presence.nvim for those who want to flex that they are using
the superior text editor.
An icon picker is now available with telescope integration. You can use :IconPickerInsert or :IconPickerYank
to add icons to your code.
A general-purpose cheatsheet has been added through cheatsheet.nvim. Forget no longer!
ccc.nvim has been added to the default plugins to allow picking colors with ease.
Most UI components of Neovim have been replaced through the help of noice.nvim. There are also notifications
and custom UI elements available for Neovim messages and prompts.
A (floating by default) terminal has been added through toggleterm.nvim.
Harness the power of ethical (tabnine.nvim) and not-so-ethical (copilot.lua) AI by those new assistant plugins.
Both are off by default, TabNine needs to be wrapped before it’s working.
Experimental mouse gestures have been added through gesture.nvim. See plugin page and the relevant module for
more details on how to use.
Re-open last visited buffers via nvim-session-manager. Disabled by default as deleting buffers seems to be
problematic at the moment.
Most of NvimTree’s configuration options have been changed with some options being toggled to off by default.
Lualine had its configuration simplified and style toned down. Less color, more info.
Modules where multiple plugin configurations were in the same directory have been simplified. Each plugin inside a single module gets its directory to be imported.
Separate config options with the same parent attribute have been merged into one for simplicity.

Release 0.3 had to come out beore I wanted it to due to Neovim 0.9 dropping into nixpkgs-unstable. The treesitter changes have prompted a treesitter rework, which was followed by reworking the languages system. Most of the changes to those are downstreamed from the original repository. The feature requests that was originally planned for 0.3 have been moved to 0.4, which should come out soon.
We have transitioned to flake-parts, from flake-utils to extend the flexibility of this flake. This means the flake structure is different than usual, but the functionality remains the same.
We now provide a home-manager module. Do note that it is still far from perfect, but it works.
nodejs_16 is now bundled with Copilot.lua if the user has enabled Copilot assistant.
which-key section titles have been fixed. This is to be changed once again in a possible keybind rewrite, but now it should
display the correct titles instad of +prefix
Most of presence.nvim’s options have been made fully configurable through your configuration file.
Most of the modules have been refactored to separate config and options attributes.
Darwin has been deprecated as the zig package is marked as broken. We will attempt to use the zig overlay to return Darwin support.
Fidget.nvim has been added as a neat visual addition for LSP installations.
diffview.nvim has been added to provide a convenient diff utility.
Treesitter grammars are now configurable with vim.treesitter.grammars.
Utilizes the nixpkgs nvim-treesitter plugin rather than a custom input in order to take advantage of build support of pinned versions.
See discourse for more information.
Packages can be found under the pkgs.vimPlugins.nvim-treesitter.builtGrammars attribute. Treesitter grammars for supported languages should be
enabled within the module. By default no grammars are installed, thus the following grammars which do not have a language section are not included anymore:
comment, toml, make, html, css, graphql, json.
A new section has been added for language support: vim.languages.<language>.
The options vim.languages.enableLSP, vim.languages.enableTreesitter, etc. will enable the respective section for all languages that have been enabled.
All LSP languages have been moved here
plantuml and markdown have been moved here
A new section has been added for html. The old vim.treesitter.autotagHtml can be found at <<opt-vim.languages.html.treesitter.autotagHtml>>.
vim.git.gitsigns.codeActions has been added allowing you to turn on gitsigns codeactions.
Removed the plugins document in the docs. Was too unwieldy to keep updated.
vim.visual.lspkind has been moved to vim.lsp.lspkind.enable
Improved handling of completion formatting. When setting vim.autocomplete.sources, can also include optional menu mapping. And can provide your own function with vim.autocomplete.formatting.format.
For vim.visuals.indentBlankline.fillChar and vim.visuals.indentBlankline.eolChar
turning them off should use null rather than "" now.
Transparency has been made optional and has been disabled by default. vim.theme.transparent option can be used to enable or disable transparency for your configuration.
Fixed deprecated configuration method for Tokyonight, and added new style “moon”
Dart language support as well as extended flutter support has been added. Thanks to @FlafyDev for his contributions towards Dart language support.

hop.nvim and leap.nvim have been added for fast navigation.

More configuration options have been added to nvim-session-manager.
Editorconfig support has been added to the core functionality, with an enable option.
venn-nvim has been dropped due to broken keybinds.

Following the release of v0.3, I have decided to release v0.4 with a massive new change: customizable keybinds.
As of the 0.4 release, keybinds will no longer be hardcoded and instead provided by each module’s own keybinds section.
The old keybind system (vim.keybinds = {}) is now considered deprecated and the new lib functions are recommended to be
used for adding keybinds for new plugins, or adding keybinds to existing plugins.
Alongside customizable keybinds, there are a few quality of life updates, such as lazygit integration and the
new experimental Lua loader of Neovim 0.9 thanks to our awesome contributors who made this update possible during my absence.
Streamlined keybind adding process towards new functions in extended stdlib.
Moved default keybinds into keybinds section of each module
