How to add a new NVim plugin

1. Create a new file nvim/lua/plugins/{plugin-name}.lua
2. The file should return Packer formatted string or a table, with a path to the plugin. eg: return { 'mrded/{plugin-name}' }
3. Save and update Packer, to apply changes: nvim +PackerSync +TSUpdate

Terminal requirements

• font Monaco support
• font strikethrough support
  • to test: echo -e "\e[9mstrikethrough\e[0m"
  • https://www.reddit.com/r/neovim/comments/14ye7a5/how_could_i_enable_strikethrough_render_in_nvim/
• Grovbox theme support
• Tabs and Splits (possibly without xterm)
• iTerm 2 shortcuts
• Config in a file
• Possibility to select text without copying
• Copy on CMD+C

Gotchas

• When changing plugin's settings, you need to run nvim +PackerSync +TSUpdate, as settings are cached.
• Plugin dependencies (eg language servers) should install automagically by Mason, if not - troubleshoot that direction.

Troubleshooting

nvim

neovim may not install plugins propperly. Try to running :UpdateRemotePlugins

treesitter

treesitter may give errors. Try running :TSUpdate to update languages.
