• JSON (jsonls) - Validation, formatting, schema support
• YAML (yamlls) - YAML file support
• HTML/CSS (html, cssls) - Web development
• Bash (bashls) - Shell script support
• Lua (lua_ls) - Neovim config development

Completion

• nvim-cmp - Smart autocomplete with LSP integration
• LuaSnip - Snippet support

Syntax Highlighting & Parsing

• Treesitter - Advanced syntax highlighting for Python, JSON, CSV, YAML, Markdown, and more
• CSV Support - Syntax highlighting for CSV files

File Management

• Neo-tree - File explorer with git integration
• Telescope - Fuzzy finder for files, text, and more

Git Integration

• Gitsigns - Git status in the gutter (added, modified, deleted lines)

Debugging

• nvim-dap - Debug Python code with breakpoints, step-through debugging
• dap-ui - Visual debugging interface

UI Enhancements

• Catppuccin - Beautiful dark color scheme (Mocha flavor)
• Lualine - Custom statusline showing mode, git branch, file, diagnostics

Formatting

File Type Specifics

Python (.py)

• LSP: Full autocompletion, type checking, goto definition
• Formatting: ruff format (fast), black (backup)
• Debugging: Set breakpoints with F9, run with F5
• Indentation: 4 spaces (Python convention)

JSON (.json)

• LSP: Validation, schema support
• Formatting: jq
• Indentation: 2 spaces
• Folding: JSON objects/arrays are foldable (za to toggle, zM to close all)

CSV (.csv)

• Treesitter: Syntax highlighting
• No wrap: Full row visibility
• Navigation: Standard motions (j/k, /, etc.)
• Tip: Use set nowrap for viewing wide CSV files without line wrapping

YAML (.yaml/.yml)

• LSP: Validation, schema support
• Folding: Nested structures are foldable

Python (.py)

• Folding: Functions, classes, and code blocks are foldable
• Tip: Use za to toggle a fold at cursor, zM to close all folds

Troubleshooting

LSP not working

1. Ensure the language server is installed
2. Run :LspInfo to check status
3. Try :LspRestart

Debugging not working

1. Install debugpy: pip install debugpy
2. Place breakpoint with F9
3. Start with F5

Colors wrong

The config uses Catppuccin Mocha theme. If you see color issues, run:

:colorscheme catppuccin

Adding New Plugins

Plugins are defined in lua/plugins/. Each .lua file is a plugin spec that returns a table.

Example (lua/plugins/myplugin.lua):

return {
    "username/repo-name",
    config = function()
        require("myplugin").setup()
    end,
}
