Cannot load module 'libsqlite3' or similar issues on Windows

To make sqlite work with lua, manually grab the dlls from sqlite.org/download.html and replace vim.g.sqlite_clib_path with your path at the bottom of lua/core/options.lua. Please make you are downloading the same version of dlls as the version of sqlite/sqlite3 on your windows machine.

Clipboard for WSL2 users

Please refer to the FAQ and add win32yank.exe to your path.

LSP servers don't autostart.

Please check this file to make sure your directory can be detected as a working directory.

For example (gopls):

Your root directory need a go.mod and your .go file need to be created first. Then LSP will autostart when you edit .go file next time.

Disable FormatOnSave by default

Set settings["format_on_save"] = false in lua/core/settings.lua

Copilot setup.

Make sure your github account is signed up for copilot.

Then use Copilot auth command to setup.

Add snippets

I just copy friendly-snippets's package.json to snips directory.

So you need add your snippets follow these steps:

1. Check the language's snippet file place defined in package.json.

2. So create snippets/go.json and fill content like this:

touch snippets/go.json

3. Finally, check the new snippets!

LSP server start failed

You need to use the latest LTS version (such as v16.13.2) to make sure LSP installed from npm works normally.

Relevant debug info is located in ~/.cache/nvim/lsp.log.

You can use tail ~/.cache/nvim/lsp.log to check latest error info.

Change dashboard startup image

1. Prepare your original image.
2. Use ascii-image-converter convert it to ascii image.
3. Replace content of dashboard.section.header.val defined in lua/modules/configs/ui/alpha.lua with your ascii image.
4. Resatrt nvim.

Debug for c/cpp

Make sure first use g++ or clang++ with -g flag to get executable a.out file.

Remove nvimdots

rm -rf ~/.config/nvim
rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim

Issues while using clangd (C/C++ LSP)

Make sure to have the following tool available in $PATH

• clang++
• clang
• gcc
• g++

MacOS/Unix

For MacOS users, this can often be achieved by installing LLVM (it comes with the whole suite):

brew install llvm

If you are using nix-darwin, then add pkgs.llvm to environment.systemPackages:

Example darwin-configuration.nix

{ config, pkgs, lib, ... }:

let
  inherit (pkgs) callPackage fetchFromGitHub;
  inherit (builtins) fetchTarball;

  homeDir = builtins.getEnv "HOME";

in
{
  # auto gc
  nix = {
    gc = {
      automatic = true;
      options = "--max-freed $((25 * 1024**3 - 1024 * $(df -P -k /nix/store | tail -n 1 | awk '{ print $4 }')))";
    };
    package = pkgs.nixUnstable;

    # enable flake and experimental command
    extraOptions = ''
      auto-optimise-store = true
      experimental-features = nix-command flakes
      keep-outputs = true
      keep-derivations = true
      trusted-users = root ${username}
    '' + lib.optionalString (pkgs.system == "aarch64-darwin") ''
      extra-platforms = x86_64-darwin aarch64-darwin
    '';
  };

  environment = {
    systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    llvmPackages
    ];

    # add shell installed by nix to /etc/shells
    shells = with pkgs; [
      zsh
    ];

    # Setup environment variables to pass to zshrc
    variables = {
      PATH = "${pkgs.llvmPackages.out}/bin:$PATH";
    };
  };

  services = {
    # Auto upgrade nix package and the daemon service.
    nix-daemon.enable = true;
  };

}
