Built-in LSP workflows
Use Neovim’s built-in LSP features for semantic code navigation.
lua
vim.keymap.set("n", "gr", vim.lsp.buf.references)Notes
Helpful for refactors and impact analysis.
lua
vim.keymap.set("n", "K", vim.lsp.buf.hover)Notes
Commonly used for signatures, docs, and type details.
lua
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>rn", vim.lsp.buf.rename)Notes
Safer and broader than plain text replacement.
Treesitter
Enable structural parsing for better highlighting and editing.
Configure nvim-treesitter
Install parsers and enable syntax-aware modules.
luaANYneovimtreesittersyntax
lua
require("nvim-treesitter.configs").setup({
ensure_installed = { "lua", "vim", "javascript", "typescript" },
highlight = { enable = true },
indent = { enable = true },
})Notes
Treesitter improves syntax-aware highlighting and related editor features.
Use Treesitter textobjects
Select functions and classes structurally.
luaANYneovimtreesittertextobjects
lua
-- usually configured via nvim-treesitter-textobjectsNotes
Treesitter textobjects can make editing much more semantic.
Plugins and health checks
Install and organize plugins cleanly in modern Neovim.
lua
local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", lazypath })
end
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)Notes
A common modern bootstrap pattern for plugin management.
Declare plugins with lazy.nvim
Register plugins and dependencies in Lua.
luaANYneovimpluginslazy-nvim
lua
require("lazy").setup({
{ "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter" },
{ "neovim/nvim-lspconfig" },
{ "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim", dependencies = { "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim" } },
})Notes
This keeps plugin definitions in Lua and supports lazy loading.
vim
:checkhealthNotes
One of the best first steps when debugging Neovim environments.
