 # NVIM config
 
+Goals:
+- Works with or without nix
+
 ## Running
 
-### With Nix (Recommended)
+### With Nix
+```sh
 nix run "."
+```
 
-### On any system
-
-Enture all prequisites are installed:
-- neovim
-- Evertying listed in flake.nix `runtime dependencies` variable near the top of the file
+### Without Nix
+- Must have all required programs installed and available on path
+  - neovim >= 0.5
+  - Evertying listed in flake.nix `runtime dependencies` variable near the top of the file
     - These must be available on the path
     - Treesitter/Lazy/Mason will install all other requirements needed on other systems
-
-Install neovim config (backup old version first if present):
-```
+```sh
 git clone https://github.com/RingOfStorms/nvim ~/.config/nvim
 nvim --headless "+Lazy! sync" +qa
 ```
-
-
+Backup existing config:
+```sh
+DATE=$(date +"%Y%m%d")
+mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim_$DATE.bak
+mv ~/.local/share/nvim ~/.local/share/nvim_$DATE.bak
+mv ~/.local/state/nvim ~/.local/state/nvim_$DATE.bak
+```
+or remove existing config:
+```sh
+rm -rf ~/.config/nvim 
+rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim
+rm -rf ~/.local/state/nvim 
+```

@@ -27,7 +40,63 @@ nvim --headless "+Lazy! sync" +qa
 - Checkout cargo-bloat, cargo-cache, cargo-outdated - memcache sccache
 - For scratches, just make an input box for custom extension rather than predefined list
 - for find files, ignore git, capital F for find all
+- better copilot alternatives? Local LLM usage only? etc?

+- plugins to install:
+  - pocco81/auto-save.nvim
+  - folke/noice.nvim - messages/cmdline/popupmenu updates
+  - rmagatti/auto-session - session management
+    - TODO look for alternatives? I am not a huge fan of this as it causes some issues on startup sometimes. I really only care about window placements and I want the rest to load naturally
+  - preservim/nerdcommenter - [un]comment support
+  - uga-rosa/ccc.nvim - color picker for hex codes etc
+  - zbirenbaum/copilot.lua
+    - Does github's work for me now? github/copilot.vim
+    - zbirenbaum/copilot-cmp
+  - chrisgrieser/nvim-early-retirement - auto close buffers
+  - voldikss/vim-floaterm
+  - GIT
+    - lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim
+    - Neogitorg/neogit ??? remove? I dont use this much...
+    - kdheepak/lazygit.nvim ?? remove?
+    - sindrets/diffview.nvim ? as long as this works without the above.
+  - rest-nvim/rest.nvim - http curl commands
+    - TODO I want a better alternative to this. One that shows streaming responses/curl as is. Can I just run curl myself easily?
+  - RRethy/vim-illuminate - show token under cursor throughout file
+  - lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim - indent lines
+    - TODO figure out tabs vs spaces thing with arrows vs bars.
+  - nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim
+    - TODO look at other buffer lines, is this still the best? What do others use?
+  - LSP stuff... figure out from scratch using kickstart/lazynvim as an example
+    - rust, ts, js, nix, lua, 
+    - lvimuser/lsp-inlayhints.nvim L3MON4D3/LuaSnip hrsh7th/nvim-cmp williamboman/mason.nvim folke/neodev.nvim williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim neovim/nvim-lspconfig simrat39/rust-tools.nvim Saecki/crates.nvim
+    - how cna we do language specific tooling per project integrated with neovim here? Like different rust versions in current shell etc?
+    - MASON when not nix, otherwise yes
+  - lnc3l0t/glow.nvim - markdown preview
+  - null_ls replacement?? need a formater replacement, diff between lsp reformat?
+    - cspell? vs built in spell check?
+  - Almo7aya/openingh.nvim
