Keymap

Use both \ and ; as leader key:

vim.keymap.set("n", ";", "<Leader>", { remap = true })
vim.keymap.set("n", "'", "<Leader>", { remap = true })

Ground rules:

• <Leader> prefix: prefer global keymap

• <Space> prefix: prefer lsp keymap, for coding of course :D

• With ibhagwan/fzf-lua:

  • <Leader>f: find files
  • <Leader>l: find lines
  • <Leader>rg: grep files
  • With neovim/nvim-lspconfig helps:
    • <Space>s: find lsp symbols
    • <Space>d: go to definition
    • <Space>r: go to references
    • <Space>i: go to implementation

• With nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua, inside nvim-tree:

  • <C-n>: toggle
  • <Leader>n: locate file
  • a: create
  • d: delete
  • r: rename
  • x: cut
  • c: copy
  • p: paste
  • U: toggle hidden

• With lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim:

  • ]c, [c: next/previous git change

• With tpope/vim-projectionist

  • :A: open alternate file

• With echasnovski/mini.nvim

  • With mini-bracketed

    • [Q, ]Q, [q, ]q: quickfix backward/forward
    • [T, ]T, [t, ]t: tree-sitter backward/forward
      • Support more languages with nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter
  • With mini-comment
    • gcc: comment/uncomment current line
    • gc: comment/uncomment selected lines
  • With mini-completion
    • <C-Space>: trigger completion
  • With mini-surround
