# which means module = { value = ... } instead of module.value = { ... }
module = {
value = mkEnableOption &quot;some description&quot; // { default = true; }; # merges can be done inline where possible
# same as parent modules, unfold submodules
subModule = {
# this is an option that contains more than one nested value
someOtherValue = mkOption {
type = lib.types.bool;
description = &quot;Some other description&quot;;
default = true;
};
};
}
</code></pre><p>If you move a line down after the merge operator, Alejandra will automatically
unfold the whole merged attrset for you, which we <span class="strong"><strong>do not</strong></span> want.</p><pre><code class="programlisting nix">module = {
key = mkEnableOption &quot;some description&quot; // {
default = true; # we want this to be inline
}; # ...
}
</code></pre><p>For lists, it is mostly up to your own discretion how you want to format them,
but please try to unfold lists if they contain multiple items and especially
if they are to include comments.</p><pre><code class="programlisting nix"># this is ok
acceptableList = [
item1 # comment
item2
item3 # some other comment
item4
];
# this is not ok
listToBeAvoided = [item1 item2 /* comment */ item3 item4];
# this is ok
acceptableList = [item1 item2];

The available modes are:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist compact" style="list-style-type: disc;"><li class="listitem"><p>normal</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>insert</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>select</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>visual</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>terminal</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>normalVisualOp</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>visualOnly</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>operator</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>insertCommand</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>lang</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>command</p></li></ul></div><p>An example, simple keybinding, can look like this:</p><pre><code class="programlisting nix">{
vim.maps.normal = {
&quot;&lt;leader&gt;wq&quot; = {
action = &quot;:wq&lt;CR&gt;&quot;;
silent = true;
desc = &quot;Save file and quit&quot;;
};
};
}
</code></pre><p>There are many settings available in the options. Please refer to the
<a class="link" href="https://notashelf.github.io/nvf/options.html#opt-vim.maps.command._name_.action" target="_top">documentation</a>
to see a list of them.</p><p><span class="strong"><strong>nvf</strong></span> provides a list of helper commands, so that you don’t have to write the
mapping attribute sets every time:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist compact" style="list-style-type: disc;"><li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">mkBinding = key: action: desc:</code> - makes a basic binding, with <code class="literal">silent</code> set

<code class="literal">lua</code>, and <code class="literal">silent</code> set to true.</p></li></ul></div><p>Do note that the Lua in these bindings is actual Lua, and not pasted into a
<code class="literal">:lua</code> command. Therefore, you should either pass in a function like
<code class="literal">require(&#x27;someplugin&#x27;).some_function</code>, without actually calling it, or you
should define your own functions, for example</p><pre><code class="programlisting lua">function()
require(&#x27;someplugin&#x27;).some_function()
end
</code></pre><p>Additionally, to not have to repeat the descriptions, there’s another utility
function with its own set of functions: Utility function that takes two
attribute sets:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist compact" style="list-style-type: disc;"><li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">{ someKey = &quot;some_value&quot; }</code></p></li><li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">{ someKey = { description = &quot;Some Description&quot;; }; }</code></p></li></ul></div><p>and merges them into <code class="literal">{ someKey = { value = &quot;some_value&quot;; description = &quot;Some Description&quot;; }; }</code></p><pre><code class="programlisting nix">addDescriptionsToMappings = actualMappings: mappingDefinitions:
</code></pre><p>This function can be used in combination with the same <code class="literal">mkBinding</code> functions as
above, except they only take two arguments - <code class="literal">binding</code> and <code class="literal">action</code>, and have
different names:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist compact" style="list-style-type: disc;"><li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">mkSetBinding = binding: action:</code> - makes a basic binding, with <code class="literal">silent</code>
set to true.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">mkSetExprBinding = binding: action:</code> - makes an expression binding, with

<code class="literal">lua</code>, and <code class="literal">silent</code> set to true.</p></li></ul></div><p>You can read the source code of some modules to see them in action, but their
usage should look something like this:</p><pre><code class="programlisting nix"># plugindefinition.nix
