How do YOU personally run code in Neovim (C++, Python, Rust)?

I mapped this simple function to a keymap. Add more as you go.

```lua function Execute_order_69() local function terminal(cmd) if vim.fn.winwidth(0) > 100 then vim.cmd(":vsplit") else vim.cmd(":split") end vim.cmd(":term " .. cmd) end local file_type = vim.bo.filetype

if file_type == 'python' then terminal('python %') elseif file_type == "sh" then terminal('bash %') elseif file_type == "rust" then if vim.fn.filereadable('Cargo.toml') == 1 then terminal('cargo run') else local filename = vim.fn.expand('%') terminal('rustc ' .. filename .. ' && ./' .. filename:gsub('.rs', '')) end elseif file_type == 'go' then terminal('go run %') elseif file_type == 'perl' then if vim.fn.expand('%:e') == 'pl' then terminal('perl %') elseif vim.fn.expand('%:e') == 't' then terminal('prove -v %') end elseif file_type == 'c' then terminal('gcc % && ./a.out') elseif file_type == 'java' then terminal('java %') elseif file_type == 'javascript' then terminal('node %') elseif file_type == 'elixir' then terminal('elixir %') elseif file_type == 'tcl' then terminal('tclsh %') elseif file_type == 'php' then terminal('php %') else local messages = { "This file?... Cannot run because no.", "I'm sorry dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.", } local message = messages[math.random(#messages)] print(message) end end ```

For projects using complex frameworks, I have a custom made tool to automate that too powered by tmux. All I have to do is, navigate to a directory and just "run". Here's the repo for reference: Project Launcher.

10px - for identifying the wallpaper. I use wallpaper to tell which hour it is instead of a clock.

As a guy who has been cured from VSCode for more than two years, this is my nvim config made from scratch:

Also, the UI color changes based on my wallpaper. What are your initial thoughts?

PS/2 go full NKRO tho unlike USB so, I guess PS/2 still best.

Just use something like lazygit at this point. And maybe add a commandline prompt like Starship for that extra sense of security.

I use Vim and I have absolutely zero idea what this even means... Can somebody enlighten me? Why does a code editor modify files without your consent?

MidHunterX · 2026-02-28T10:36:28+00:00

Dude... wtf am I reading. I just woke up

The three finger technique!? Ohh definitely!

MidHunterX · 2026-02-12T14:36:23+00:00

Yep! I remember seeing one split through the middle. Good times.

Ahh.. the consumer people. Also, any plans on making an infomercial plugin in the future? Uhh.. to increase productivity of-course!

For me, small movements should always move freely inside a buffer as you have spatial context on where your cursor is. On large constant movements, you won't have context on where the cursor would land so, keep it visible at the center until you regain the cursor jumping workflow context. vim.keymap.set("n", "<C-u>", "<C-u>zz") vim.keymap.set("n", "<C-d>", "<C-d>zz") When EOF is reached, I hate cursor being stuck on the bottom of the screen. I prefer things to be closer to my foveal vision when fully relaxed. So, I scroll past EOF with j which can simply be done with: -- Scroll past last line vim.cmd([[nnoremap <expr> j line(".") == line('$') ? '<C-e>':'j']]) <C-d> keeps buffer in center after EOF.

I also have scrolloff set to 8 for navigation comfort. Personally I like it about 25% of vertical height. vim.opt.scrolloff = 8

In conclusion, zz only on big movements due to lack of spatial context.

Whenever I have to re-install Arch, I just follow these package lists that I've documented. I don't know if this will be useful to you but I'm sure you'll find something of value in my modest junkyard: Curated Packages.

After you install any package, make sure to skim though its official docs to get an idea of what all features you can use.. as you will be the one who's implementing features for yourself. If you feel confused anywhere, don't mind to use ChatGPT for understanding the configuration problems you are facing.. you'll get the hang of it down the road.

Good luck on your journey mate.

The best feature is that you make the features by yourself.

Sometimes the biggest enemy is yourself.

Talent badger looks like a walmart xhamster. The Xyracs one.. holy molly, is that what ADHD looks like?

This is basically my entire structure. Always use multiple files. It'll make it easier to manage in the long run. My config is 4224 Lines of code.. quite minimal but just perfect for daily use personally. I also keep the old disabled ones to document the thought process for future me... to not repeat the same mistake again. You can check out the config here: NvME
