Introduction

Aim to be out-of-box, IDE-like editing experience, performant, lightweight and friendly to most Neovim users. Focus on and only on editing, no compiling/packaging/debugging.

This ultra config solves below issues:

• Duplicate installation on different OS and machines? - All done by one-line command (not on Windows for now), same behaviors on all platforms.
• Time-costing configurations? - All configs follow community best practice, vim tradition and most popular editors (just like vscode).
• Lack of IDE-like features (auto-complete, diagnostics, code-format, lint)? - nvim-lspconfig, nvim-cmp, mason.nvim, none-ls.nvim and a bunch of language extensions are embedded.
• Naive UI? - File explorer, git status, tabs, icons and most popular colorschemes integrated (again, just like vscode).
• More efficient editing? - Most popular editing improving plugins embedded, and well cooperated for best user experience and performance.

Check out features for what it can do, colorschemes for pretty colorschemes and icons, the philosophy I follow when maintaining this distro.
