How do I [..] ?​

How do I add my own keybindings?​

  • View all defaults by pressing <leader>Lk
  • change the leader key
lvim.leader = "space"
  • Add your own binding
-- save the buffer
lvim.keys.normal_mode["<C-s>"] = ":w<cr>"
-- move the cursor without leaving insert mode
lvim.keys.insert_mode["<A-h>"] = "<Left>"
lvim.keys.insert_mode["<A-l>"] = "<Right>"
  • Remove or un-map a default binding
-- disable completely
lvim.keys.normal_mode["<C-Up>"] = ""
-- define a new behavior
lvim.keys.normal_mode["<C-q>"] = ":q<cr>"
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("i", "<C-p>", "<cmd>Telescope find_files<cr>", { noremap = true, silent = true, expr = true })
  • Or you can use the native vim way for those tricky bindings that you are not sure how to translate just yet
-- Search and replace word under cursor using <F2>
vim.cmd [[ nnoremap <F2> :%s/<c-r><c-w>/<c-r><c-w>/gc<c-f>$F/i ]]

What is null-ls and why do you use it?​

For C/C++ we have the clangd by llvm which can also use its siblings' abilities clang-tidy and clang-format to support additional linting and formatting. But something like pyright doesn't support formatting, so we use null-ls to register black and flake8 for example, as a "fake" language server.

Since it's not using a separate binary it's called null-ls or null language server.

Where can I find some example configs?​
