Think of it like a distribution of Neovim that takes advantage of pinning vim plugins and third party dependencies (such as tree-sitter grammars, language servers, and more). One should never get a broken config when setting options. If setting multiple options results in a broken Neovim, file an issue!

If setting multiple o ## FAQ **Q**: Why is this flake so big? - +
**A**: I have sacrificed in size in order to provide a highly configurable and reproducible Neovim environment. A binary cache is provided to eleminate the need to build the flake from source, but it is still a large flake. If you do not need all the features, you can use the default `nix` output instead of the `maximal` output. This will reduce size by a lot, but you will lose some language specific features. +

**Q**: Will you try to make this flake smaller? - +
**A**: Yes. As a matter of fact, I am actively working on making this flake smaller. Unfortunately the process of providing everything possible by itself makes the flake large. Best I can do is to optimize the flake as much as possible by selecting plugins that are small and fast. And the binary cache, so at least you don't have to build it from source. +

**Q**: Will you use a plugin manager? - +
**A**: No. If you feel the need to ask that question, then you have missed the whole point of using nix and ultimately this flake. We load plugins with raw lua. +

**Q**: Can you add *X*? - +
**A**: Maybe. Open an issue using the appropriate template and I will consider it. I do not intend to add every plugin that is in existence, but I will consider it, should it offer something useful to the flake. ## Credits @@ -139,7 +140,7 @@ instead of the `maximal` output.
