+## Getting Started {#sec-contrib-getting-started}
+
+You, naturally, would like to start by forking the repository to get started. If
+you are new to Git and GitHub, do have a look at GitHub's
+[Fork a repo guide](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) for
+instructions on how you can do this. Once you have a fork of **nvf**, you should
+create a separate branch based on the most recent `main` branch. Give your
+branch a reasonably descriptive name (e.g. `feature/debugger` or
+`fix/pesky-bug`) and you are ready to work on your changes
+
+Implement your changes and commit them to the newly created branch and when you
+are happy with the result, and positive that it fulfills our
+[Contributing Guidelines](#sec-guidelines), push the branch to GitHub and
+[create a pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request).
+The default pull request template available on the **nvf** repository will guide
+you through the rest of the process, and we'll gently nudge you in the correct
+direction if there are any mistakes.
+
+## Guidelines {#sec-guidelines}
+
+If your contribution tightly follows the guidelines, then there is a good chance
+it will be merged without too much trouble. Some of the guidelines will be
+strictly enforced, others will remain as gentle nudges towards the correct
+direction. As we have no automated system enforcing those guidelines, please try
+to double check your changes before making your pull request in order to avoid
+"faulty" code slipping by.
+
+If you are uncertain how these rules affect the change you would like to make
+then feel free to start a discussion in the
+[discussions tab](https://github.com/NotAShelf/nvf/discussions) ideally (but not
+necessarily) before you start developing.
+
+### Adding Documentation {#sec-guidelines-documentation}
+
+[Nixpkgs Flavoured Markdown]: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/doc/README.md#syntax
+
+Almost all changes warrant updates to the documentation: at the very least, you
+must update the changelog. Both the manual and module options use
+[Nixpkgs Flavoured Markdown].
+
+The HTML version of this manual containing both the module option descriptions
+and the documentation of **nvf** (such as this page) can be generated and opened
+by typing the following in a shell within a clone of the **nvf** Git repository:
+
+```console
+$ nix build .#docs-html
+$ xdg-open $PWD/result/share/doc/nvf/index.html
 ```
+
+### Formatting Code {#sec-guidelines-formatting}
+
+Make sure your code is formatted as described in
+[code-style section](#sec-guidelines-code-style). To maintain consistency
+throughout the project you are encouraged to browse through existing code and
+adopt its style also in new code.
+
+### Formatting Commits {#sec-guidelines-commit-message-style}
+
+Similar to [code style guidelines](#sec-guidelines-code-style) we encourage a
+consistent commit message format as described in
+[commit style guidelines](#sec-guidelines-commit-style).
+
+### Commit Style {#sec-guidelines-commit-style}
+
+The commits in your pull request should be reasonably self-contained. Which
+means each and every commit in a pull request should make sense both on its own
+and in general context. That is, a second commit should not resolve an issue
+that is introduced in an earlier commit. In particular, you will be asked to
+amend any commit that introduces syntax errors or similar problems even if they
+are fixed in a later commit.
+
+The commit messages should follow the
+[seven rules](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/#seven-rule), except for
+"Capitalize the subject line". We also ask you to include the affected code
+component or module in the first line. A commit message ideally, but not
+necessarily, follow the given template from home-manager's own documentation
+
+```
+  {component}: {description}
+
+  {long description}
+```
+
+where `{component}` refers to the code component (or module) your change
+affects, `{description}` is a very brief description of your change, and
+`{long description}` is an optional clarifying description. As a rare exception,
+if there is no clear component, or your change affects many components, then the
+`{component}` part is optional. See
+[example commit message](#sec-guidelines-ex-commit-message) for a commit message
+that fulfills these requirements.
+
+#### Example Commit {#sec-guidelines-ex-commit-message}
+
+The commit
+[69f8e47e9e74c8d3d060ca22e18246b7f7d988ef](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/commit/69f8e47e9e74c8d3d060ca22e18246b7f7d988ef)
+in home-manager contains the following commit message.
+
+```
+starship: allow running in Emacs if vterm is used
+
+The vterm buffer is backed by libvterm and can handle Starship prompts
+without issues.
+```
+
+Similarly, if you are contributing to **nvf**, you would include the scope of
+the commit followed by the description:
+
+```
+languages/ruby: init module
+
+Adds a language module for Ruby, adds appropriate formatters and Treesitter grammars
+```
+
+Long description can be omitted if the change is too simple to warrant it. A
+minor fix in spelling or a formatting change does not warrant long description,
+however, a module addition or removal does as you would like to provide the
+relevant context, i.e. the reasoning behind it, for your commit.
+
+Finally, when adding a new module, say `modules/foo.nix`, we use the fixed
+commit format `foo: add module`. You can, of course, still include a long
+description if you wish.
+
+In case of nested modules, i.e `modules/languages/java.nix` you are recommended
+to contain the parent as well - for example `languages/java: some major change`.
+
+### Code Style {#sec-guidelines-code-style}
+
+#### Treewide {#sec-code-style-treewide}
+
+Keep lines at a reasonable width, ideally 80 characters or less. This also
+applies to string literals and module descriptions and documentation.
+
+#### Nix {#sec-code-style-nix}
+
+[alejandra]: https://github.com/kamadorueda/alejandra
+
+**nvf** is formatted by the [alejandra] tool and the formatting is checked in
+the pull request and push workflows. Run the `nix fmt` command inside the
+project repository before submitting your pull request.
+
+While Alejandra is mostly opinionated on how code looks after formatting,
+certain changes are done at the user's discretion based on how the original code
+was structured.
+
+Please use one line code for attribute sets that contain only one subset. For
+example:
+
+```nix
+# parent modules should always be unfolded
+# which means module = { value = ... } instead of module.value = { ... }
+module = {
+  value = mkEnableOption "some description" // { default = true; }; # merges can be done inline where possible
+
+    # same as parent modules, unfold submodules
+    subModule = {
+        # this is an option that contains more than one nested value
+        # Note: try to be careful about the ordering of `mkOption` arguments.
+        # General rule of thumb is to order from least to most likely to change.
+        # This is, for most cases, type < default < description.
+        # Example, if present, would be between default and description
+        someOtherValue = mkOption {
+            type = lib.types.bool;
+            default = true;
+            description = "Some other description";
+        };
+    };
+}
+```
+
+If you move a line down after the merge operator, Alejandra will automatically
+unfold the whole merged attrset for you, which we **do not** want.
+
+```nix
+module = {
+  key = mkEnableOption "some description" // {
+    default = true; # we want this to be inline
+  }; # ...
+}
+```
+
+For lists, it is mostly up to your own discretion how you want to format them,
+but please try to unfold lists if they contain multiple items and especially if
+they are to include comments.
+
+```nix
+# this is ok
+acceptableList = [
+  item1 # comment
+  item2
+  item3 # some other comment
+  item4
+];
+
+# this is not ok
+listToBeAvoided = [item1 item2 /* comment */ item3 item4];
+
+# this is ok
+acceptableList = [item1 item2];
+
+# this is also ok if the list is expected to contain more elements
+acceptableList= [
+  item1
+  item2
+  # more items if needed...
+];
+```
+
+## Testing Changes {#sec-testing-changes}
+
+Once you have made your changes, you will need to test them thoroughly. If it is
+a module, add your module option to `configuration.nix` (located in the root of
+this project) inside `neovimConfiguration`. Enable it, and then run the maximal
+configuration with `nix run .#maximal -Lv` to check for build errors. If neovim
+opens in the current directory without any error messages (you can check the
+output of `:messages` inside neovim to see if there are any errors), then your
+changes are good to go. Open your pull request, and it will be reviewed as soon
+as possible.
+
+If it is not a new module, but a change to an existing one, then make sure the
+module you have changed is enabled in the maximal configuration by editing
+`configuration.nix`, and then run it with `nix run .#maximal -Lv`. Same
+procedure as adding a new module will apply here.
+
+## Keybinds {#sec-keybinds}
+
+As of 0.4, there exists an API for writing your own keybinds and a couple of
+useful utility functions are available in the
+[extended standard library](https://github.com/NotAShelf/nvf/tree/main/lib). The
+following section contains a general overview to how you may utilize said
+functions.
+
+## Custom Key Mappings Support for a Plugin {#sec-custom-key-mappings}
+
+To set a mapping, you should define it in `vim.keymaps`.
+
+An example, simple keybinding, can look like this:
+
+```nix
+{
+  vim.keymaps = [
+    {
+      key = "<leader>wq";
+      mode = ["n"];
+      action = ":wq<CR>";
+      silent = true;
+      desc = "Save file and quit";
+    }
+  ];
+}
+```
+
+There are many settings available in the options. Please refer to the
+[documentation](https://notashelf.github.io/nvf/options.html#opt-vim.keymaps) to
+see a list of them.
+
+**nvf** provides a helper function, so that you don't have to write the mapping
+attribute sets every time:
+
+- `mkKeymap`, which mimics neovim's `vim.keymap.set` function
+
+You can read the source code of some modules to see them in action, but the
+usage should look something like this:
+
+```nix
+# plugindefinition.nix
+{lib, ...}: let
+  inherit (lib.options) mkEnableOption;
+  inherit (lib.nvim.binds) mkMappingOption;
+in {
+  options.vim.plugin = {
+    enable = mkEnableOption "Enable plugin";
+
+    # Mappings should always be inside an attrset called mappings
+    mappings = {
+      workspaceDiagnostics = mkMappingOption "Workspace diagnostics [trouble]" "<leader>lwd";
+      documentDiagnostics = mkMappingOption "Document diagnostics [trouble]" "<leader>ld";
+      lspReferences = mkMappingOption "LSP References [trouble]" "<leader>lr";
+      quickfix = mkMappingOption "QuickFix [trouble]" "<leader>xq";
+      locList = mkMappingOption "LOCList [trouble]" "<leader>xl";
+      symbols = mkMappingOption "Symbols [trouble]" "<leader>xs";
+    };
+}
+```
+
+```nix
+# config.nix
+{
+  config,
+  lib,
+  options,
+  ...
+}: let
+  inherit (lib.modules) mkIf;
+  inherit (lib.nvim.binds) mkKeymap;
+
+  cfg = config.vim.plugin;
+
+  keys = cfg.mappings;
+  inherit (options.vim.lsp.trouble) mappings;
+in {
+  config = mkIf cfg.enable {
+    vim.keymaps = [
+      (mkKeymap "n" keys.workspaceDiagnostics "<cmd>Trouble toggle diagnostics<CR>" {desc = mappings.workspaceDiagnostics.description;})
+      (mkKeymap "n" keys.documentDiagnostics "<cmd>Trouble toggle diagnostics filter.buf=0<CR>" {desc = mappings.documentDiagnostics.description;})
+      (mkKeymap "n" keys.lspReferences "<cmd>Trouble toggle lsp_references<CR>" {desc = mappings.lspReferences.description;})
+      (mkKeymap "n" keys.quickfix "<cmd>Trouble toggle quickfix<CR>" {desc = mappings.quickfix.description;})
+      (mkKeymap "n" keys.locList "<cmd>Trouble toggle loclist<CR>" {desc = mappings.locList.description;})
+      (mkKeymap "n" keys.symbols "<cmd>Trouble toggle symbols<CR>" {desc = mappings.symbols.description;})
+    ];
+  };
+}
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If you have come across a plugin that has an API that doesn't seem to easily
+> allow custom keybindings, don't be scared to implement a draft PR. We'll help
+> you get it done.
+
+## Adding Plugins {#sec-additional-plugins}
+
+There are two methods for adding new Neovim plugins to **nvf**. npins is the
+faster option that should be preferred if the plugin consists of pure Lua or
+Vimscript code. In which case there is no building required, and we can easily
+handle the copying of plugin files. Alternative method, which is required when
+plugins try to build their own libraries (e.g., in Rust or C) that need to be
+built with Nix to function correctly.
+
+### With npins {#sec-npins-for-plugins}
+
+npins is the standard method of adding new plugins to **nvf**. You simply need
+the repository URL for the plugin, and can add it as a source to be built
+automatically with one command. To add a new Neovim plugin, use `npins`. For
+example:

+Once the `npins` command is done, you can start referencing the plugin as a
+**string**.
+
+```nix
+{
+  config.vim.startPlugins = ["lazydev-nvim"];
+}
+```
+
+### Packaging Complex Plugins {#sec-pkgs-for-plugins}
+
+[blink.cmp]: https://github.com/Saghen/blink.cmp
+
+Some plugins require additional packages to be built and substituted to function
+correctly. For example [blink.cmp] requires its own fuzzy matcher library, built
+with Rust, to be installed or else defaults to a much slower Lua implementation.
+In the Blink documentation, you are advised to build with `cargo` but that is
+not ideal since we are leveraging the power of Nix. In this case the ideal
+solution is to write a derivation for the plugin.
+
+We use `buildRustPackage` to build the library from the repository root, and
+copy everything in the `postInstall` phase.
+
+```nix
+postInstall = ''
+  cp -r {lua,plugin} "$out"
+
+  mkdir -p "$out/doc"
+  cp 'doc/'*'.txt' "$out/doc/"
+
+  mkdir -p "$out/target"
+  mv "$out/lib" "$out/target/release"
+'';
+```
+
+In a similar fashion, you may utilize `stdenv.mkDerivation` and other Nixpkgs
+builders to build your library from source, and copy the relevant files and Lua
+plugin files in the `postInstall` phase. Do note, however, that you still need
+to fetch the plugin sources somehow. npins is, once again, the recommended
+option to fetch the plugin sources. Refer to the previous section on how to use
+npins to add a new plugin.
+
+Plugins built from source must go into the `flake/pkgs/by-name` overlay. It will
+automatically create flake outputs for individual packages. Lastly, you must add
+your package to the plugin builder (`pluginBuilders`) function manually in
+`modules/wrapper/build/config.nix`. Once done, you may refer to your plugin as a
+**string**.
+
+```nix
+{
+  config.vim.startPlugins = ["blink-cmp"];
+}
+```
+
+### Modular setup options {#sec-modular-setup-options}
+
+Most plugins is initialized with a call to `require('plugin').setup({...})`.
+
+We use a special function that lets you easily add support for such setup
+options in a modular way: `mkPluginSetupOption`.
+
+Once you have added the source of the plugin as shown above, you can define the
+setup options like this:
+
+```nix
+# in modules/.../your-plugin/your-plugin.nix
+
+{lib, ...}:
+let
+  inherit (lib.types) bool int;
+  inherit (lib.nvim.types) mkPluginSetupOption;
+in {
+  options.vim.your-plugin = {
+    setupOpts = mkPluginSetupOption "plugin name" {
+      enable_feature_a = mkOption {
+        type = bool;
+        default = false;
+        # ...
+      };
+
+      number_option = mkOption {
+        type = int;
+        default = 3;
+        # ...
+      };
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+```nix
+# in modules/.../your-plugin/config.nix
+{lib, config, ...}:
+let
+  cfg = config.vim.your-plugin;
+in {
+  vim.luaConfigRC = lib.nvim.dag.entryAnywhere ''
+    require('plugin-name').setup(${lib.nvim.lua.toLuaObject cfg.setupOpts})
+  '';
+}
+```
+
+This above config will result in this Lua script:
+
+```lua
+require('plugin-name').setup({
+  enable_feature_a = false,
+  number_option = 3,
+})
+```
+
+Now users can set any of the pre-defined option field, and can also add their
+own fields!
+
+```nix
+# in user's config
+{
+  vim.your-plugin.setupOpts = {
+    enable_feature_a = true;
+    number_option = 4;
+    another_field = "hello";
+    size = { # nested fields work as well
+      top = 10;
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### Details of toLuaObject {#sec-details-of-toluaobject}
+
+As you've seen above, `toLuaObject` is used to convert our nix attrSet
+`cfg.setupOpts`, into a lua table. Here are some rules of the conversion:
+
+1. Nix `null` converts to lua `nil`
+2. Number and strings convert to their lua counterparts
+3. Nix attribute sets (`{}`) and lists (`[]`) convert into Lua dictionaries and
+   tables respectively. Here is an example of Nix -> Lua conversion.
+   - `{foo = "bar"}` -> `{["foo"] = "bar"}`
+   - `["foo" "bar"]` -> `{"foo", "bar"}`
+4. You can write raw Lua code using `lib.generators.mkLuaInline`. This function
+   is part of nixpkgs, and is accessible without relying on **nvf**'s extended
+   library.
+   - `mkLuaInline "function add(a, b) return a + b end"` will yield the
+     following result:
+
+   ```nix
+   {
+    _type = "lua-inline";
+    expr = "function add(a, b) return a + b end";
+   }
+   ```
+
+   The above expression will be interpreted as a Lua expression in the final
+   config. Without the `mkLuaInline` function, you will only receive a string
+   literal. You can use it to feed plugin configuration tables Lua functions
+   that return specific values as expected by the plugins.
+
+   ```nix
+   {
+      vim.your-plugin.setupOpts = {
+        on_init = lib.generators.mkLuaInline ''
+          function()
+            print('we can write lua!')
+          end
+        '';
+      };
+   }
+   ```
+
+### Lazy plugins {#sec-lazy-plugins}
+
+If the plugin can be lazy-loaded, `vim.lazy.plugins` should be used to add it.
+Lazy plugins are managed by `lz.n`.
+
+```nix
+# in modules/.../your-plugin/config.nix
+{config, ...}: let
+  cfg = config.vim.your-plugin;
+in {
+  vim.lazy.plugins.your-plugin = {
+    # Instead of vim.startPlugins, use this:
+    package = "your-plugin";
+
+    # ıf your plugin uses the `require('your-plugin').setup{...}` pattern
+    setupModule = "your-plugin";
+    inherit (cfg) setupOpts;
+
+    # Events that trigger this plugin to be loaded
+    event = ["DirChanged"];
+    cmd = ["YourPluginCommand"];
+
+    # Plugin Keymaps
+    keys = [
+      # We'll cover this in detail in the 'keybinds' section
+      {
+        key = "<leader>d";
+        mode = "n";
+        action = ":YourPluginCommand";
+      }
+    ];
+  };
+}
+```
+
+This results in the following lua code:
+
+```lua
+require('lz.n').load({
+  {
+    "name-of-your-plugin",
+    after = function()
+      require('your-plugin').setup({
+        --[[ your setupOpts ]]--
+      })
+    end,
+
+    event = {"DirChanged"},
+    cmd = {"YourPluginCommand"},
+    keys = {
+      {"<leader>d", ":YourPluginCommand", mode = {"n"}},
+    },
+  }
+})

-# Adding Plugins {#sec-additional-plugins}
-
-There are two methods for adding new Neovim plugins to **nvf**. npins is the
-faster option that should be preferred if the plugin consists of pure Lua or
-Vimscript code. In which case there is no building required, and we can easily
-handle the copying of plugin files. Alternative method, which is required when
-plugins try to build their own libraries (e.g., in Rust or C) that need to be
-built with Nix to function correctly.
-
-## With npins {#sec-npins-for-plugins}
-
-npins is the standard method of adding new plugins to **nvf**. You simply need
-the repository URL for the plugin, and can add it as a source to be built
-automatically with one command. To add a new Neovim plugin, use `npins`. For
-example:
-
-```bash
-nix-shell -p npins # or nix shell nixpkgs#npins if using flakes
-```
-
-Then run:
-
-```bash
-npins add --name <plugin name> github <owner> <repo> -b <branch>
-```
-
-::: {.note}
-
-Be sure to replace any non-alphanumeric characters with `-` for `--name`. For
-example

-# Guidelines {#sec-guidelines}
-
-If your contribution tightly follows the guidelines, then there is a good chance
-it will be merged without too much trouble. Some of the guidelines will be
-strictly enforced, others will remain as gentle nudges towards the correct
-direction. As we have no automated system enforcing those guidelines, please try
-to double check your changes before making your pull request in order to avoid
-"faulty" code slipping by.
-
-If you are uncertain how these rules affect the change you would like to make
-then feel free to start a discussion in the
-[discussions tab](https://github.com/NotAShelf/nvf/discussions) ideally (but not
-necessarily) before you start developing.
-
-## Adding Documentation {#sec-guidelines-documentation}
-
-[Nixpkgs Flavoured Markdown]: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/doc/README.md#syntax
-
-Almost all changes warrant updates to the documentation: at the very least, you
-must update the changelog. Both the manual and module options use
-[Nixpkgs Flavoured Markdown].
-
-The HTML version of this manual containing both the module option descriptions
-and the documentation of **nvf** (such as this page) can be generated and opened
-by typing the following in a shell within a clone of the **nvf** Git repository:
-
-```console
-$ nix build .#docs-html
-$ xdg-open $PWD/result/share/doc/nvf/index.html
-```
-
-## Formatting Code {#sec-guidelines-formatting}
-
-Make sure your code is formatted as described in
-[code-style section](#sec-guidelines-code-style). To maintain consistency
-throughout the project you are encouraged to browse through existing code and
-adopt its style also in new code.
-
-## Formatting Commits {#sec-guidelines-commit-message-style}
-
-Similar to [code style guidelines](#sec-guidelines-code-style) we encourage a
-consistent commit message format as described in
-[commit style guidelines](#sec-guidelines-commit-style).
-
-## Commit Style {#sec-guidelines-commit-style}
-
-The commits in your pull request should be reasonably self-contained. Which
-means each and every commit in a pull request should make sense both on its own
-and in general context. That is, a second commit should not resolve an issue
-that is introduced in an earlier commit. In particular, you will be asked to
-amend any commit that introduces syntax errors or similar problems even if they
-are fixed in a later commit.
-
-The commit messages should follow the
-[seven rules](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/#seven-rule), except for
-"Capitalize the subject line". We also ask you to include the affected code
-component or module in the first line. A commit message ideally, but not
-necessarily, follow the given template from home-manager's own documentation
-
-```
-  {component}: {description}
-
-  {long description}
-```
-
-where `{component}` refers to the code component (or module) your change
-affects, `{description}` is a very brief description of your change, and
-`{long description}` is an optional clarifying description. As a rare exception,
-if there is no clear component, or your change affects many components, then the
-`{component}` part is optional. See
-[example commit message](#sec-guidelines-ex-commit-message) for a commit message
-that fulfills these requirements.
-
-## Example Commit {#sec-guidelines-ex-commit-message}
-
-The commit
-[69f8e47e9e74c8d3d060ca22e18246b7f7d988ef](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/commit/69f8e47e9e74c8d3d060ca22e18246b7f7d988ef)
-in home-manager contains the following commit message.
-
-```
-starship: allow running in Emacs if vterm is used
-
-The vterm buffer is backed by libvterm and can handle Starship prompts
-without issues.
-```
-
-Similarly, if you are contributing to **nvf**, you would include the scope of
-the commit followed by the description:
-
-```
-languages/ruby: init module
-
-Adds a language module for Ruby, adds appropriate formatters and Treesitter grammars
-```
-
-Long description can be omitted if the change is too simple to warrant it. A
-minor fix in spelling or a formatting change does not warrant long description,
-however, a module addition or removal does as you would like to provide the
-relevant context, i.e. the reasoning behind it, for your commit.
-
-Finally, when adding a new module, say `modules/foo.nix`, we use the fixed
-commit format `foo: add module`. You can, of course, still include a long
-description if you wish.
-
-In case of nested modules, i.e `modules/languages/java.nix` you are recommended
-to contain the parent as well - for example `languages/java: some major change`.
-
-## Code Style {#sec-guidelines-code-style}
-
-### Treewide {#sec-code-style-treewide}
-
-Keep lines at a reasonable width, ideally 80 characters or less. This also
-applies to string literals and module descriptions and documentation.
-
-### Nix {#sec-code-style-nix}
-
-[alejandra]: https://github.com/kamadorueda/alejandra
-
-**nvf** is formatted by the [alejandra] tool and the formatting is checked in
-the pull request and push workflows. Run the `nix fmt` command inside the
-project repository before submitting your pull request.
-
-While Alejandra is mostly opinionated on how code looks after formatting,
-certain changes are done at the user's discretion based on how the original code
-was structured.
-
-Please use one line code for attribute sets that contain only one subset. For
-example:
-
-```nix
-# parent modules should always be unfolded
-# which means module = { value = ... } instead of module.value = { ... }
-module = {
-  value = mkEnableOption "some description" // { default = true; }; # merges can be done inline where possible
-
-    # same as parent modules, unfold submodules
-    subModule = {
-        # this is an option that contains more than one nested value
-        # Note: try to be careful about the ordering of `mkOption` arguments.
-        # General rule of thumb is to order from least to most likely to change.
-        # This is, for most cases, type < default < description.
-        # Example, if present, would be between default and description
-        someOtherValue = mkOption {
-            type = lib.types.bool;
-            default = true;
-            description = "Some other description";
-        };
-    };
-}
-```
-
-If you move a line down after the merge operator, Alejandra will automatically
-unfold the whole merged attrset for you, which we **do not** want.
-
-```nix
-module = {
-  key = mkEnableOption "some description" // {
-    default = true; # we want this to be inline
-  }; # ...
-}
-```

-# Keybinds {#sec-keybinds}
-
-As of 0.4, there exists an API for writing your own keybinds and a couple of
-useful utility functions are available in the
-[extended standard library](https://github.com/NotAShelf/nvf/tree/main/lib). The
-following section contains a general overview to how you may utilize said
-functions.
-
-## Custom Key Mappings Support for a Plugin {#sec-custom-key-mappings}
-
-To set a mapping, you should define it in `vim.keymaps`.
-
-An example, simple keybinding, can look like this:
-
-```nix
-{
-  vim.keymaps = [
-    {
-      key = "<leader>wq";
-      mode = ["n"];
-      action = ":wq<CR>";
-      silent = true;
-      desc = "Save file and quit";
-    }
-  ];
-}
-```
-
-There are many settings available in the options. Please refer to the
-[documentation](https://notashelf.github.io/nvf/options.html#opt-vim.keymaps) to
-see a list of them.
-
-**nvf** provides a helper function, so that you don't have to write the mapping
-attribute sets every time:
-
-- `mkKeymap`, which mimics neovim's `vim.keymap.set` function
-
-You can read the source code of some modules to see them in action, but the
-usage should look something like this:
-
-```nix
-# plugindefinition.nix
-{lib, ...}: let
-  inherit (lib.options) mkEnableOption;
-  inherit (lib.nvim.binds) mkMappingOption;
-in {
-  options.vim.plugin = {
-    enable = mkEnableOption "Enable plugin";
-
-    # Mappings should always be inside an attrset called mappings
-    mappings = {
-      workspaceDiagnostics = mkMappingOption "Workspace diagnostics [trouble]" "<leader>lwd";
-      documentDiagnostics = mkMappingOption "Document diagnostics [trouble]" "<leader>ld";
-      lspReferences = mkMappingOption "LSP References [trouble]" "<leader>lr";
-      quickfix = mkMappingOption "QuickFix [trouble]" "<leader>xq";
-      locList = mkMappingOption "LOCList [trouble]" "<leader>xl";
-      symbols = mkMappingOption "Symbols [trouble]" "<leader>xs";
-    };
-}
-```
-
-```nix
-# config.nix
-{
-  config,
-  lib,
-  options,
-  ...
-}: let
-  inherit (lib.modules) mkIf;
-  inherit (lib.nvim.binds) mkKeymap;
-
-  cfg = config.vim.plugin;
-
-  keys = cfg.mappings;
-  inherit (options.vim.lsp.trouble) mappings;
-in {
-  config = mkIf cfg.enable {
-    vim.keymaps = [
-      (mkKeymap "n" keys.workspaceDiagnostics "<cmd>Trouble toggle diagnostics<CR>" {desc = mappings.workspaceDiagnostics.description;})
-      (mkKeymap "n" keys.documentDiagnostics "<cmd>Trouble toggle diagnostics filter.buf=0<CR>" {desc = mappings.documentDiagnostics.description;})
-      (mkKeymap "n" keys.lspReferences "<cmd>Trouble toggle lsp_references<CR>" {desc = mappings.lspReferences.description;})

-      (mkKeymap "n" keys.symbols "<cmd>Trouble toggle symbols<CR>" {desc = mappings.symbols.description;})
-    ];
-  };
-}
-```

-If you have come across a plugin that has an API that doesn't seem to easily
-allow custom keybindings, don't be scared to implement a draft PR. We'll help
-you get it done.

-
-Once you have made your changes, you will need to test them thoroughly. If it is
-a module, add your module option to `configuration.nix` (located in the root of
-this project) inside `neovimConfiguration`. Enable it, and then run the maximal
-configuration with `nix run .#maximal -Lv` to check for build errors. If neovim
-opens in the current directory without any error messages (you can check the
-output of `:messages` inside neovim to see if there are any errors), then your
-changes are good to go. Open your pull request, and it will be reviewed as soon
-as possible.
-
-If it is not a new module, but a change to an existing one, then make sure the
-module you have changed is enabled in the maximal configuration by editing
-`configuration.nix`, and then run it with `nix run .#maximal -Lv`. Same

+## Preface {#ch-preface}
+
+### What is nvf {#sec-what-is-it}
+
+**nvf** is a highly modular, configurable, extensible and easy to use Neovim
+configuration framework built and designed to be used with Nix. Boasting
+flexibility, robustness and ease of use, this projecct allows you to configure a
+fully featured Neovim instance with a few lines of Nix with lots of options for
+advanced users as well.
+
+## Try it out {#ch-try-it-out}
+
+Thanks to the portability of Nix, you can try out nvf without actually
+installing it to your machine. Below are the commands you may run to try out
+different configurations provided by this flake. As of v0.5, two specialized
+configurations are provided:
+
+- **Nix** (`packages.nix`) - Nix language server + simple utility plugins
+- **Maximal** (`packages.maximal`) - Variable language servers + utility and
+  decorative plugins
+
+You may try out any of the provided configurations using the `nix run` command
+on a system where Nix is installed.
+
+```sh
+$ cachix use nvf                   # Optional: it'll save you CPU resources and time
+$ nix run github:notashelf/nvf#nix # Will run the default minimal configuration
 ```
 
-```{=include=} parts
-installation.md
-configuring.md
-tips.md
+Do keep in mind that this is **susceptible to garbage collection** meaning that
+the built outputs will be removed from your Nix store once you garbage collect.
+
+## Using Prebuilt Configs {#sec-using-prebuilt-configs}
+
+```bash
+$ nix run github:notashelf/nvf#nix
+$ nix run github:notashelf/nvf#maximal
 ```
 
-```{=include=} chapters
-hacking.md
+### Available Configurations {#sec-available-configs}
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The below configurations are provided for demonstration purposes, and are
+> **not** designed to be installed as is. You may refer to the installation
+> steps below and the helpful tips section for details on creating your own
+> configurations.
+
+#### Nix {#sec-configs-nix}
+
+`Nix` configuration by default provides LSP/diagnostic support for Nix alongside
+a set of visual and functional plugins. By running `nix run .#`, which is the
+default package, you will build Neovim with this config.
+
+```bash
+$ nix run github:notashelf/nvf#nix test.nix
+# => This will open a file called `test.nix` with Nix LSP and syntax highlighting
 ```
 
-```{=include=} appendix html:into-file=//quirks.html
-quirks.md
+This command will start Neovim with some opinionated plugin configurations, and
+is designed specifically for Nix. the `nix` configuration lets you see how a
+fully configured Neovim setup _might_ look like without downloading too many
+packages or shell utilities.
+
+#### Maximal {#sec-configs-maximal}
+
+`Maximal` is the ultimate configuration that will enable support for more
+commonly used language as well as additional complementary plugins. Keep in
+mind, however, that this will pull a lot of dependencies.
+
+```bash
+$ nix run github:notashelf/nvf#maximal -- test.nix
+# => This will open a file called `test.nix` with a variety of plugins available
 ```
 
-```{=include=} appendix html:into-file=//options.html
-options.md
-```
+It uses the same configuration template with the [Nix](#sec-configs-nix)
+configuration, but supports many more languages, and enables more utility,
+companion or fun plugins.
 
-```{=include=} appendix html:into-file=//release-notes.html
-release-notes/release-notes.md
+> [!WARNING]
+> Running the maximal config will download _a lot_ of packages as it is
+> downloading language servers, formatters, and more. If CPU time and bandwidth
+> are concerns, please use the default package instead.
+
+## Installing nvf {#ch-installation}
+
+[module installation section]: #ch-module-installation
+
+There are multiple ways of installing nvf on your system. You may either choose
+the standalone installation method, which does not depend on a module system and
+may be done on any system that has the Nix package manager or the appropriate
+modules for NixOS and home-manager as described in the
+[module installation section].

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

-# Try it out {#ch-try-it-out}
-
-Thanks to the portability of Nix, you can try out nvf without actually
-installing it to your machine. Below are the commands you may run to try out
-different configurations provided by this flake. As of v0.5, two specialized
-configurations are provided:
-
-- **Nix** (`packages.nix`) - Nix language server + simple utility plugins
-- **Maximal** (`packages.maximal`) - Variable language servers + utility and
-  decorative plugins
-
-You may try out any of the provided configurations using the `nix run` command
-on a system where Nix is installed.
-
-```sh
-$ cachix use nvf                   # Optional: it'll save you CPU resources and time
-$ nix run github:notashelf/nvf#nix # Will run the default minimal configuration
-```
-
-Do keep in mind that this is **susceptible to garbage collection** meaning that
-the built outputs will be removed from your Nix store once you garbage collect.
-
-## Using Prebuilt Configs {#sec-using-prebuilt-configs}
-
-```bash
-$ nix run github:notashelf/nvf#nix
-$ nix run github:notashelf/nvf#maximal
-```
-
-### Available Configurations {#sec-available-configs}
-
-::: {.info}
-
-The below configurations are provided for demonstration purposes, and are
-**not** designed to be installed as is. You may
-
-#### Nix {#sec-configs-nix}
-
-`Nix` configuration by default provides LSP/diagnostic support for Nix alongside
-a set of visual and functional plugins. By running `nix run .#`, which is the
-default package, you will build Neovim with this config.
-
-```bash
-$ nix run github:notashelf/nvf#nix test.nix
-```
-
-This command will start Neovim with some opinionated plugin configurations, and
-is designed specifically for Nix. the `nix` configuration lets you see how a
-fully configured Neovim setup _might_ look like without downloading too many
-packages or shell utilities.
-
-#### Maximal {#sec-configs-maximal}
-
-`Maximal` is the ultimate configuration that will enable support for more
-commonly used language as well as additional complementary plugins. Keep in
-mind, however, that this will pull a lot of dependencies.
-
-```bash
-$ nix run github:notashelf/nvf#maximal -- test.nix
-```
-
-It uses the same configuration template with the [Nix](#sec-configs-nix)
-configuration, but supports many more languages, and enables more utility,
-companion or fun plugins.
-
-::: {.warning}
-
-Running the maximal config will download _a lot_ of packages as it is
-downloading language servers, formatters, and more. If CPU time and bandwidth
-are concerns, please use the default package instead.
