BASIC-SETTINGS.LUA
This file contains fundamental Neovim settings that don't require plugins.
These are applied to Neovim globally and affect the core editing experience.
In Lua (this file), we use:
- vim.opt.* for options that take values
- vim.g.* for global variables
- vim.go.* for global option shorthand

-- ============================================================================
-- TREESITTER (Built-in Neovim 0.10+ features)
-- ============================================================================
-- Enable Treesitter syntax highlighting (native in Neovim 0.10+)
-- This replaces the old nvim-treesitter highlight module

-- ============================================================================
-- FOLDING SETTINGS (Code folding)
-- ============================================================================
-- NOTE: In Neovim 0.10+, Treesitter folding must be set per-buffer via FileType autocmd
-- Setting it globally causes the foldexpr to evaluate before Treesitter attaches
-- Foldlevel: Higher number = more folds are open by default
-- 1-2 means you'll see folds by default; 99 means all folds are open
vim.opt.foldlevel = 99
vim.opt.foldlevelstart = 99
-- Setup Treesitter folding for each buffer after filetype is detected
-- This ensures the parser is loaded before foldexpr evaluates
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("FileType", {
pattern = "*",
callback = function()
-- Only set folding for file buffers with Treesitter support
if vim.bo.buftype == "" then
vim.wo.foldmethod = "expr"

-- LINE NUMBERS
-- ============================================================================

-- When combined with 'number', the current line shows absolute number
-- vim.opt.relativenumber = true
-- ============================================================================
-- INDENTATION SETTINGS
-- ============================================================================
-- Tabstop: How many spaces a TAB character counts for
-- When viewing a file, TABs appear as this many spaces
vim.opt.tabstop = 4
-- Shiftwidth: How many spaces to use for auto-indentation and >> << commands
vim.opt.shiftwidth = 4
-- Expandtab: Convert TABs to spaces when typing
-- true = pressing TAB inserts spaces; false = inserts actual TAB characters
-- Recommendation: Use true (spaces) for better portability across systems
vim.opt.expandtab = true
-- ============================================================================
-- UI/UX SETTINGS
-- ============================================================================
-- Show line length marker (optional, helps keep lines under 80/120 chars)
-- Uncomment if you want: vim.opt.colorcolumn = "80"
-- Enable cursor line highlighting (subtle background on current line)
vim.opt.cursorline = true
-- Enable cursor column highlighting (column where cursor is)
vim.opt.cursorcolumn = true
-- Better command-line completion (popup menu for completions)

-- Ignore case when searching UNLESS you include an uppercase letter
vim.opt.ignorecase = true

-- How long (ms) to show matching bracket
vim.opt.matchtime = 2
-- Show current mode in last line (like -- INSERT --)
vim.opt.showmode = true
-- Show incomplete commands at bottom

-- EDITING BEHAVIOR
-- ============================================================================
-- Enable mouse support (click to move cursor, resize splits)
vim.opt.mouse = "a"
-- Allow backspace to delete indent, eol, and start of line
vim.opt.backspace = "indent,eol,start"
-- Auto-read file when changed externally (e.g., by another program)
vim.opt.autoread = true
-- Auto-write when switching buffers or leaving
-- 'a' = auto-write for all buffers; uncomment if you want:
-- vim.opt.autowrite = true

-- SPLIT AND TAB SETTINGS
-- ============================================================================

-- TERMINAL SETTINGS
-- ============================================================================
-- Exit terminal mode with Escape

-- ============================================================================
-- CLIPBOARD (System clipboard integration)
-- ============================================================================

-- Requires +clipboard feature (check with: :echo has('clipboard'))
if vim.fn.has("clipboard") == 1 then
-- Use system clipboard for all yank/delete/paste operations
