Moving to init.lua on Neovim 0.11 and the E5422 Config Conflict

I migrated the NeoVim configuration I set up in Reviewing my Zsh and NeoVim configuration over to Lua. TL;DR Neovim 0.11.5 assumes Lua, so moving from init.vim + vim-plug toward init.lua + lazy.nvim gives you a big return. For completion, blink.cmp is a strong choice these days. The 0.11 trap: init.lua and init.vim cannot live side by side (E5422: Conflicting configs). A staged migration takes some ingenuity. While I was at it: NERDTree→oil.nvim, hand-written brackets→nvim-autopairs, IME→Lua autocmd, cursor shape→guicursor. Background In the Neovim 0.11 generation, the ecosystem of LSP, diagnostics and the surrounding plugins moves ahead on the premise of Lua.

That is fine for a single machine, but repeating the same steps on several hosts is tedious.
It turns out you can run it from the command line as well.

$ nvim +PlugUpdate +qall

With this, you can drop it into a script or an Ansible playbook.

Rebuilding My Zsh and Neovim Setup from Scratch in 2022

I have been a fan of the Zsh shell on Linux and elsewhere for a long time, and lately I have even flirted with fish, but I took another look at my configuration files for the first time in ages. I had been managing my shared configuration files (dotfiles) on GitHub, and to my surprise the last update turned out to be about 10 years ago. (@_@) The configuration files were quite old too, and various helper tools and plugins have changed, so I reviewed everything from scratch. [Read More]
