Making Neovim Your Own
Repository: github.com/orue/config.nvim
For VSCode users new to Neovim
There are hundreds of YouTube videos and pre-configured Neovim setups out there. But one of Neovim's greatest strengths is how personal you can make it.
As a beginner, understanding how everything fits together is challenging. Following someone else's configuration might get you started, but it won't feel like your editor.
My approach
My configuration isn't radically different from what you'll find in tutorials—it's just tailored to my workflow and the languages I use: JavaScript, Python, and Go.
How I built it:
1. Started with the fundamentals
I followed TJ DeVries' tutorial series. TJ breaks down the basics of how and why things work in Neovim. His channel also has Lua tutorials if you're unfamiliar with the language.
2. Customized with Claude CLI
After understanding the basics, I used Claude CLI to help customize my preferences:
- Colorschemes that match my style
- LSPs for JavaScript, Python, and Go
- Code formatters
- Documentation for all my keymappings
The takeaway
The goal isn't to copy my config—it's to show you a path to making Neovim truly yours.
Feel free to explore, fork, and adapt to your needs.
