Neovim Configuration Guidelines

When to Use

• When adding or removing plugins with lazy.nvim
• When optimizing startup time
• When changing LSP, DAP, or formatter configuration

Basic Rules

• Config lives under ~/.config/nvim/: Managed via dotfiles repository
• Be conscious of lazy.nvim event specification: Directly affects startup speed
• No duplicate configs: Before adding a plugin, confirm nothing already fills that role

Plugin Addition Checklist

1. Check if a plugin with the same role already exists (e.g. formatters are unified under conform.nvim)
2. Consider whether lazy loading via event / ft / cmd is possible
3. Visual plugins should use event = "VeryLazy"
4. After adding, verify startup time with --startuptime

lazy.nvim Event Guide

Event	Use Case
VeryLazy	Colorschemes, UI plugins
BufReadPre	File reading plugins
InsertEnter	Completion, snippets
LspAttach	LSP-dependent plugins
cmd	Command-triggered only

Notes

• Never call require() outside of config (it loads at startup)
• DAP and git plugins are especially prone to duplication — check carefully
