Anvil

A highly adaptable Neovim distribution. The goal is to have a minimal Neovim configuration providing a great development experience out of the box. So instead of spending hours getting the basics to work (LSP, autocomplete, snippets, TreeSitter and git etc.) you can focus on customizing Neovim with features you need without being overwhelmed by bloat that is endemic to most Neovim distributions. Anvil is extremely lightweight, has little to no configuration of its own and only adds essential plugins that are needed to have a comfortable development experience. For most users, all that should be needed is to customize the key bindings and configure a language server.

Preview:

Completions

Includes full LSP support and suggestions for snippets

Anvil uses LuaSnip as the snippet engine, and has support for vscode and LSP snippets out of the box. Adding more snippets is as simple as editing a file while more advance/smart snippets can be written in Lua using LuaSnip. omnifunc is set to show LSP completions and completefunc is set to show snippet completions while nvim-cmp is configured to show completions from all sources.

StatusLine

Awesome StatusLine implemented in Lua, without any plugin dependencies.

• Current mode indicator
• Current file path including unwritten state and read only indicator
• Buffer list ( use <Leader> + b or [b and ]b to quickly switch between buffers)
• Stats related to diagnostics (number of Errors E, Warnings W, Information I and Hints H)
• Language Server status
• File encoding, format and type information
• File position indicators (current file progress + cursor coordinates)

All this without any patched font madness! works great over ssh and locally.

An accent color is applied to the statusbar depending on current mode. The color is applied to Mode, Current Buffer, file format, and cursor position indicator sections of the statusline.

Directory Structure:

Anvil has a very simple directory structure to make it easy to understand, navigate and extend.

Goals

To create a highly extensible neovim configuration that can easily be adapted as an IDE for any programming language via LSP while staying light and as close to vanilla neovim as possible. This distribution aims to be a non intrusive, solid base which the user can easily customize to fit their workflow needs.
