=== Changelog

https://github.com/notashelf[notashelf]:

* Added two minimap plugins under `vim.minimap`. `codewindow.nvim` is enabled by default, while `minimap.vim` is available with its code-minimap dependency.

* A complementary plugin, `obsidian.nvim` and the Neovim alternative for Emacs' orgmode  with `orgmode.nvim` have been added. Both will be disabled by default.

* Smooth scrolling for ANY movement command is now available with `cinnamon.nvim`

* You will now notice a dashboard on startup. This is provided by the `alpha.nvim` plugin. You can use any of the three available dashboard plugins, or disable them entirely.

* There is now a scrollbar on active buffers, which can highlight errors by hooking to your LSPs. This is on by default, but can be toggled off under `vim.visuals` if seen necessary.

* Discord Rich Presence has been added through `presence.nvim` for those who want to flex that they are using the *superior* text editor. 

* An icon picker is now available with telescope integration. You can use `:IconPickerInsert` or `:IconPickerYank` to add icons to your code.

* A general purpose cheatsheet has been added through `cheatsheet.nvim`. Forget no longer!

* `ccc.nvim` has been added to the default plugins to allow picking colors with ease.

* Most UI components of Neovim have been replaced through the help of `noice.nvim`. There are also notifications and custom UI elements available for Neovim messages and prompts.

* A (floating by default) terminal has been added through `toggleterm.nvim`. 

* Harness the power of ethical (`tabnine.nvim`) and not-so-ethical (`copilot.lua`) AI by those new assistant plugins. Both are off by default, TabNine needs to be wrapped before it's working.

* Experimental mouse gestures have been addede through `gesture.nvim`. See plugin page and the relevant module for more details on how to use.

* Re-open last visited buffers via `nvim-session-manager`. Disabled by default as deleting buffers seems to be problematic at the moment.

* Most of NvimTree's configuration options have been changed with some options being toggled to off by default. 

* Lualine had its configuration simplified and style toned down. Less color, more info.

* Modules where multiple plugin configurations were in the same directory have been simplified. Each plugin inside a single module gets its own directory to be imported.

* Separate config options with the same parent attribute have been merged into one for simplicity.
