NVChad has had some breaking changes since this video! It's recommended to using the v2.0 branch instead for this video. I'll be doing an updated version of this video again soon!. git clone -b v2.0 github.com/NvChad/NvChad ~/.config/nvim --depth 1
@@dreamsofcodeI am using neovim nvchad but on windows (not through wsl2). And it seems on windows the file structures are different and it’s kind of tough following the tutorial since it’s for neovim on Linux. I was hoping when you do an updated video you could also touch a little bit how to do the config for those running nvchad on windows directly.
If you're following along on your own machine, you'll need to type `th` to bring up the "Set NvChad Theme" window as @Dreams of Code did @1:34. (`` is `space` by default).
Thank you, this has been super helpful! I had been jumping around a bit between LazyVim, Astro, LunarVim, NvChad but now that I followed your setup and read the NvChad docs in detail (highly recommended for better understanding!) I think I finally have a stable base.
I feel like being watched. I was just thinking about starting to learn both neovim and rust at the same time this morning :D thanks for the amazing content
Just followed this tutorial as well after watching your general neovim/nvchad video. Thanks a lot, this will help me to get easier started with Rust which is my plan for the next couple of months.
Thank you for the tutorial! I am learning vim and rust in parallel and your videos really helped me to find the joy in terminal based editors and customising them.
Your tutorials are great, they helped me to finally start using neovim. I was wondering if you could do some tutorial like this for copilot. Making it work wasn't hard but I think we all would appreciate something that is more usable than default settings. Thanks for the tutorial, looking forward the next one!
Thank you! Yes, absolutely. I'll add it to the list. Should be a quick one to get out as well. There's a few copilot plugins as well now and I use a non standard one as it has better integration (imho). Might be good to do a comparison of them.
I attempted this initially but kept running into errors in the console so decided to use the official plugin. If you have a setup that works id love to see it!
If despite doing all of this, linting (the diagnostics in the text editor) doesn't work. I realized that the configuration didn't work if I had installed rust-analyzer with mason. However, installing it with rustup "rustup component add rust-analyzer", worked without issues"
Awesome video! Very informative, clear and to the point. Also the quality of your videos is outstanding mate. Could it be possible to have the dotfiles somewhere for the next video? It could help a lot in order to check the correct configuration at the end of the setup.
I was using vscode until last february and tried to change into nvim but every tutorial I watched had different setup instructions and different methods and all that sttuff. Then I saw you video and setup nvim with rust like this setup. Then I tried installing some plugins for pytthon but the config was complicated. Then I installed helix editor and going good so far. LSP support is good, config is also easier considering that I dont have much experience with modal editors.
Helix is pretty awesome, and has some easy to use defaults whilst keeping very VIM like. I'll probably do a video on setting up Neovim for python at some point as well!
I have some concerns, this is a very good video with a very good quality but it really feels like "magic" or "just works" thing, and as a person who really likes tweaking and especially with knowing the "why" and the "how" I'd really be thankful if there is some sources or docs that can help me to do so : ), and again, this is a very good video, as always ; ).
@@dreamsofcode that might be a great idea, as u can explain the "why" thing and less "to got B do A" thing, no offense tho but i really think that will add a new whole dimension to the videos as they will become more oriented towards inspiring a self help config and independent configuration if that make sens : ) and keep the work up ur doing an amazing job on rising this channel
Good stuff. So complicated! 😮 I managed to get through the whole setup. I saw chris@machine has a 5-hour-long Neovim setup. Perhaps it's why he decided to write the LunarVim project. 😅😊😮
Thank you for providing the git repo. Is there a way to keep the different "custom" repositories separated? For example, it would be nice to be able to keep the rust configuration separated from the c++ instead of trying to merge the two "custom" repositories together.
Hey all! Man Dreams of Code you are as always a Godsend! This setup works incredibly! You literally saved me days of my life. One quick question tho - as a shitty developer coming from JS land and then Go land - Im always forgetting the ; at the end of the statements - do you know either how I could impliment this through rust-tools or of another plugin that does it? Thaaaanks fam
Great tutorial! Is there a way to jump to the proper documentation when typing a command? Because sometimes the floating window states something like "See the [module documentation](self) for details" and I haven't found a way to directly open it.
Thank you so much! Use your videos to move from heavy IDE to Neovim. P.S. So painful to configure lua stuff without strict type system. Dreaming about writing everything in Rust :)
Following along, I got to the debugging section at 7:15, but I have no "RustDebuggables" command present? There are a lot of Rust... commands, but that's not one of them. Any suggestions? I have lldb on my system from xcode, and can see that I can just type 'lldb' into the terminal and does execute.
@@drheck I'm actually not entirely sure what happened, but I got busy and just left it for a couple of days and I just came back to configure a couple of other types of plugins and it's now there when I try to run it in a rust file. Maybe I just needed to manually run a `Lazy sync`
There is! You should be able to combine it easily enough. You'll only want one set of each plugin and then just merge the configurations together i.e. ensure_installed { rust_analyzer } becomes ensure_installed { rust_analyzer, clangd }, etc etc
@@dreamsofcode Wow man never thought I would get a reply. just watched your setting up nvchad video. It was first time ever using nvim. Was a bit confusing and did not understand many things but also learned a lot and was also able to get a basic understanding how things work,how plugins are installed and some other basic stuff. All thanks to you man. Love your work ❤.
I loved this video, but since I don't understand much about Linux, I wanted to understand one thing. For example, if I install nvim, can I configure it and add the plugins I like the most, right? So, is it a good practice to create the configuration files in a folder that doesn't interfere with nvim? Or can I do everything in nvim's folders?
The custom directory is added to the gitignore of NVChad so it should be safe from modification by anything else. You can also set it up as a git repository itself so you can keep your config version controlled!
I am getting clone failed with rust-tools, is this due because the project is archived? also an update using rustaceanvim would be nice, if you recommend it :)
there are so many questions i have about this, isnt mason already installed with nvchad automatically? why not just open :Mason and install rust analyzer there? does whatever we do have benefits to that? is it practically the same?
I prefer to write the configuration as code. This way whenever I move to another machine, my Neovim config is already defined rather than having to remember which dependencies I need to install
@@dreamsofcode Thank you for replying. lldb is installed. I can't access your discord. Apparently it works, I can set breakpoints, when I run :RustDebuggables instead of an arrow I get an R, and with spc+d+u+s the screen splits but no debug info.
On distros other than arch . The version of neovim that is getting installed is 0.6 for some reason. And while upgrading it , it says you’re already on the latest, which is not right. Do you know some fix for that?
@@dreamsofcode that would be great. Because i just started to use nvim for c++, and i have trouble making a shortcut ( F5 ) to compile, and run the c++ file
You can run the code using the RustRunnables command within Neovim. Personally I just open up a terminal to run the code, which you can do using SPC + h in NVChad.
If I try running my console executable with dap, it won't provide any output or react to input. While if I try to debug the same up with lldb directly, the app acts as usual. Moreover, I get lldb-vscode exited with code error in nvim, after the app completes its work (and no errors if I do it with lldb directly).
@@dreamsofcode I am new to rust. So, I am not sure what is blocking call. It's just "hello world" app, with following code in main: println!("Hello, World"); let mut y: String = String::new(); io::stdin().read_line(&mut y).expect("Failed to read line");
For some reason rust-analyzer isn't working, i dont get any code completions after following your steps. Im on NVCHAD, and followed your tutorial for setting it up
Hello, its really annoying to do this everytime especially for beginners. Can you please make a video how do we setup to use LspInstall and such commands. it would be way easier for us
