In the Lazy Neovim Configuration I wrote a bit about the neovim configuration I use. While most of my configuration has not changed, I learned about a new completion plugin blink.cmp. It got recommended by kulala-ls and got recently introduced in a kickstart.nvim. The …
A few months ago I changed my neovim configuration and started using the Lazy package manager. The thing is that Lazy is fantastic at installing plugins. LSP, neotest, lazydev, telescope and all the goodies from the wonderful neovim community are easy to install and add. So it is …
