Nothing too fancy. However, note that tmux does not support super + key inputs. Some of these bindings are instead assigned to the F row keys, which are supported.
Here are some tools that can significantly enhance your command-line experience:
-
zsh: A powerful and customizable shell, often used as a replacement for
bash. Known for its robust autocompletion, theme support, and plugin ecosystem (e.g., Oh My Zsh). -
zoxide: A smarter, faster way to navigate directories. It's a replacement for
cdthat uses a ranking algorithm to remember your most frequently accessed directories. -
fzf: A blazing-fast, interactive fuzzy finder. Use it to quickly search and filter files, directories, and more, directly from the command line.
-
lazygit: A simple terminal UI for Git commands. It provides a streamlined and intuitive way to manage branches, stage changes, and view logs without typing complex Git commands.
Installation Steps
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential
# Rust
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
rustup update
# Yazi
## Yazi is available as `yazi-fm` and `yazi-cli` on crates.io. To install them, setup the latest stable Rust toolchain via rustup:
## If it fails to build, please check if make and gcc is installed on your system.
cargo install --locked yazi-fm yazi-cli
# ripgrep
cargo install ripgrep
# lsd
cargo install lsd
# zoxide
curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide/main/install.sh | sh
# fzf
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.git ~/.fzf
~/.fzf/install
# lazygit
sudo apt install -y software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:lazygit-team/release
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y lazygit
Plugins sometimes do not work when connected via SSH. I have not tackled this problem yet, so I use a vanilla configuration when needed.
Plugins are managed by lazy.nvim. To add new plugins, drop configuration Lua files (containing a return statement) into the plugins directory.
Linters and formatters are managed by Mason. Ensure up-to-date Mason dependencies (requires npm).

- Highlights from kickstart.nvim (Great video by TJ DeVries):
- Line highlighting on yank.
- Neotree plugin: Basic configuration available in
[plugins-removed]. I prefer usingyazi.nviminstead. - WhichKey plugin: Basic configuration available in
[plugins-removed]. - Neovim Terminal: Instead, I maximize the Vim pane using
bind -r m resize-pane -Z(leader + m).
Currently used exclusively for working with notebooks. The configuration is tailored around the Vim extension, ensuring that Code's default shortcuts do not conflict with Vim extension shortcuts.
- keybindings.json: Contains custom keybindings to avoid clashes between Code and the Vim extension.
- settings.json: Holds other relevant configurations for an optimized workflow.
Refer to these files for detailed adjustments and customization.
