NixVim - A Neovim configuration system for nix

What is it?

NixVim is a Neovim distribution built around Nix modules. It is distributed as a Nix flake, and configured through Nix, all while leaving room for your plugins and your vimrc.

What does it look like?

Here is a simple configuration that uses catppuccin as the colorscheme and uses the lualine plugin:

{
  programs.nixvim = {
    enable = true;

    colorschemes.catppuccin.enable = true;
    plugins.lualine.enable = true;
  };
}

When we do this, lualine will be set up to a sensible default, and will use catppuccin as the colorscheme, no extra configuration required!

Welcome to the docs!

Over to the left, you'll find the sidebar. There you'll see several "User guides" (including an FAQ]), along with pages for various "options".

While you can search our main docs using the icon, if you're looking for a specific option you may find the dedicated Nixvim Option Search (at the bottom of the sidebar) has more relevant results.
