Plugins

Configuring LazyVim plugins is exactly the same as using lazy.nvim to build a config from scratch.

For the full plugin spec documentation please check the lazy.nvim readme.

Refer to the plugins section in the sidebar for configuring included plugins.

➕ Adding Plugins

Adding a plugin is as simple as adding the plugin spec to one of the files under lua/plugins/*.lua. You can create as many files there as you want.

You can structure your lua/plugins folder with a file per plugin, or a separate file containing all the plugin specs for some functionality.

lua/plugins/lsp.lua

return {
  -- add symbols-outline
  {
    "simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim",
    cmd = "SymbolsOutline",
    keys = { { "<leader>cs", "<cmd>SymbolsOutline<cr>", desc = "Symbols Outline" } },
    opts = {
      -- add your options that should be passed to the setup() function here
      position = "right",
    },
  },
}

❌ Disabling Plugins

In order to disable a plugin, add a spec with enabled=false

lua/plugins/disabled.lua

return {
  -- disable trouble
  { "folke/trouble.nvim", enabled = false },
}

✏️ Customizing Plugin Specs

Defaults merging rules:

• cmd: the list of commands will be extended with your custom commands
• event: the list of events will be extended with your custom events
• ft: the list of filetypes will be extended with your custom filetypes
• keys: the list of keymaps will be extended with your custom keymaps
• opts: your custom opts will be merged with the default opts
• dependencies: the list of dependencies will be extended with your custom dependencies
• any other property will override the defaults

For ft, event, keys, cmd and opts you can instead also specify a values function that can make changes to the default values, or return new values to be used instead.

return {
  -- change trouble config
  {
    "folke/trouble.nvim",
    -- opts will be merged with the parent spec
    opts = { use_diagnostic_signs = true },
  }

  -- add cmp-emoji
  {
    "hrsh7th/nvim-cmp",
    dependencies = { "hrsh7th/cmp-emoji" },
    ---@param opts cmp.ConfigSchema
    opts = function(_, opts)
      table.insert(opts.sources, { name = "emoji" })
    end,
  }
}

⌨️ Adding & Disabling Plugin Keymaps

Adding keys= follows the rules as explained above.

You can also disable a default keymap by setting it to false. To override a keymap, simply add one with the same lhs and a new rhs.

lua/plugins/telescope.lua

return {
  "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
  keys = {
    -- disable the keymap to grep files
    {"<leader>/", false},
    -- change a keymap
    { "<leader>ff", "<cmd>Telescope find_files<cr>", desc = "Find Files" },
    -- add a keymap to browse plugin files
    {
      "<leader>fp",
      function() require("telescope.builtin").find_files({ cwd = require("lazy.core.config").options.root }) end,
      desc = "Find Plugin File",
    },
  },
},

caution

Make sure to use the exact same mode as the keymap you want to disable. You don't have to specify a mode for normal mode keymaps.

lua/plugins/flash.lua

return {
  "folke/flash.nvim",
  keys = {
    -- disable the default flash keymap
    { "s", mode = { "n", "x", "o" }, false },
  },
}

You can also return a whole new set of keymaps to be used instead. Or return {} to disable all keymaps for a plugin.

lua/plugins/telescope.lua

return {
  "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
  -- replace all Telescope keymaps with only one mapping
  keys = function()
    return {
      { "<leader>ff", "<cmd>Telescope find_files<cr>", desc = "Find Files" },
    }
  end,
},
