}</pre><p>Your built neovim configuration can be exposed as a flake output, or be added to your system packages to make

config.vim.extraPlugins = with pkgs.vimPlugins; {
aerial = {
package = aerial-nvim;
setup = ''
require('aerial').setup {
-- some lua configuration here
}

};
}</pre></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="sec-old-method"></a>5.2. Old Method</h2></div></div></div><p>Users who have not yet updated to 0.5, or prefer a more hands-on approach may use the old method where the load order
of the plugins is determined by DAGs.</p><pre class="programlisting nix">{
# fetch plugin source from GitHub and add it to startPlugins
config.vim.startPlugins = [
(pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {

sha256 = "CtyEhCcGxxok6xFQ09feWpdEBIYHH+GIFVOaNZx10Bs=";
})
];
}</pre><p>However, just making the plugin available might not be enough. In that case, you can write custom vimscript
or lua config, using <code class="literal">config.vim.configRC</code> or <code class="literal">config.vim.luaConfigRC</code> respectively.
These options are attribute sets, and you need to give the configuration you’re adding some name, like this:</p><pre class="programlisting nix">{
# this will create an "aquarium" section in your init.vim with the contents of your custom config
# which will be *appended* to the rest of your configuration, inside your init.vim
config.vim.configRC.aquarium = "colorscheme aquiarum";
}</pre><p>Note: If your configuration needs to be put in a specific place in the config, you can use functions from
<code class="literal">inputs.neovim-flake.lib.nvim.dag</code> to order it.
Refer to <a class="link" href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/blob/master/modules/lib/dag.nix" target="_top">https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/blob/master/modules/lib/dag.nix</a> to find out more about
the DAG system.</p><p>Also, if you successfully made your plugin work, please make a PR to add it to the flake, or open an issue
with your findings so that we can make it available for everyone easily.</p></div></div><div class="chapter"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h1 class="title"><a id="ch-hm-module"></a>Chapter 6. Home Manager</h1></div></div></div><p>The Home Manager module allows us to customize the different <code class="literal">vim</code> options from inside the home-manager configuration

making your pull request in order to avoid "faulty" code slipping by.</p><p>If you are uncertain how these rules affect the change you would like to make then feel free to start a

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.</p><p>The commit messages should follow the <a class="link" href="https://cbea.ms/git-commit/#seven-rules" target="_top">seven rules</a>, 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</p><pre class="screen">{component}: {description}
{long description}</pre><p>where <code class="literal">{component}</code> refers to the code component (or module) your change affects, <code class="literal">{description}</code> is a very brief
description of your change, and <code class="literal">{long description}</code> is an optional clarifying description. As a rare exception, if
there is no clear component, or your change affects many components, then the <code class="literal">{component}</code> part is optional.

neovim-flake is formatted by the <a class="link" href="https://github.com/kamadorueda/alejandra" target="_top">alejandra</a> tool and the formatting is checked in the pull
request and push workflows. Run the <code class="literal">nix fmt</code> command inside the project repository before submitting your
pull request.</p><p>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.</p><p>Please use one line code for attribute sets that contain only one subset.
For example:</p><pre class="programlisting nix"># parent modules should always be unfolded
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
someOtherValue = mkOption {
type = lib.types.bool;
description = "Some other description"
default = true;
};
};
}</pre><p>If you move a line down after the merge operator, Alejandra will automatically unfold the whole merged attrset
for you, which we <span class="strong"><strong>do not</strong></span> want.</p><pre class="programlisting nix">module = {
key = mkEnableOption "some description" // {
default = true; # we want this to be inline
};
# ...
}</pre><p>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.</p><pre class="programlisting nix"># this is ok
acceptableList = [
item1 # comment
item2
item3 # some other comment
item4
];

<code class="literal">configuration.nix</code> (located in the root of this project) inside <code class="literal">neovimConfiguration</code>. Enable it, and then run the
maximal configuration with <code class="literal">nix run .#maximal -Lv</code> to check for build errors. If neovim opens in the current directory
without any error messages (you can check the output of <code class="literal">:messages</code> 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 posssible.</p><p>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 <code class="literal">nix run .#maximal -Lv</code>. Same procedure as
adding a new module will apply here.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="sec-keybinds"></a>8.4. Keybinds</h2></div></div></div><p>As of 0.4, there exists an API for writing your own keybinds and a couple of useful utility functions are available in

The available modes are:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">

</li></ul></div><p>An example, simple keybinding, can look like this:</p><pre class="programlisting nix">{
vim.maps.normal = {
"&lt;leader&gt;wq" = {
action = ":wq&lt;CR&gt;";
silent = true;
desc = "Save file and quit";
};
};
}</pre><p>There are many settings available in the options. Please refer to the <a class="link" href="https://notashelf.github.io/neovim-flake/options.html#opt-vim.maps.command._name_.action" target="_top">documentation</a> to see a list of them.</p><p><code class="literal">neovim-flake</code> provides a list of helper commands, so that you don’t have to write the mapping attribute sets every
time:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">
<code class="literal">mkBinding = key: action: desc:</code> - makes a basic binding, with <code class="literal">silent</code> set to true.
</li><li class="listitem">
<code class="literal">mkExprBinding = key: action: desc:</code> - makes an expression binding, with <code class="literal">lua</code>, <code class="literal">silent</code>, and <code class="literal">expr</code> set to true.
</li><li class="listitem">
<code class="literal">mkLuaBinding = key: action: desc:</code> - makes an expression binding, with <code class="literal">lua</code>, and <code class="literal">silent</code> set to true.
</li></ul></div><p>Note that the Lua in these bindings is actual Lua, not pasted into a <code class="literal">:lua</code> command.
Therefore, you either pass in a function like <code class="literal">require('someplugin').some_function</code>, without actually calling it,
or you define your own function, like <code class="literal">function() require('someplugin').some_function() end</code>.</p><p>Additionally, to not have to repeat the descriptions, there’s another utility function with its own set of functions:</p><pre class="programlisting nix"># Utility function that takes two attrsets:
# { someKey = "some_value" } and
# { someKey = { description = "Some Description"; }; }
# and merges them into
# { someKey = { value = "some_value"; description = "Some Description"; }; }
addDescriptionsToMappings = actualMappings: mappingDefinitions:</pre><p>This function can be used in combination with the same <code class="literal">mkBinding</code> functions as above, except they only take two
arguments - <code class="literal">binding</code> and <code class="literal">action</code>, and have different names:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">
