Gabriel Arazas b088086b06 Merge evergreen notes into the notebook 
Now, it's all under the notebook umbrella. Seems to be appropriate as it
is just my notes after all.

I also updated some notes from there. I didn't keep track of what it is
this time. Something about more learning notes extracted from my
"Learning how to learn" course notes and then some. Lack of time and
hurriness just makes it difficult to track but it should be under
version control already.

Neovim Lua integration

  • go-to resource when introducing using Lua into Neovim
  • similar to VimL configs, really
  • init file is ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvim/init.lua
  • Lua configs doesn't configure much by default
  • you can start with lua-intro help section in the lua help page from Neovim — i.e., :h lua
  • you can still execute Vimscript with vim.cmd; more information is at :h lua-vimscript

  • basics from VimL

    • to set options, it's mostly in vim.opt — e.g., set number relativenumber versus vim.opt.number, vim.opt.relativenumber = true, true
    • highlight options are mostly in vim.highlight — e.g., highlight clear SpellCap versus vim.highlight
    • to set local options, use vim.opt_local — e.g., setlocal spell versus vim.opt_local.spell = true
    • otherwise, to set global options, use vim.opt_global
    • you can access environment variables through vim.env — e.g., vim.env.HOME, vim.env.MYVIMRC
    • you can manipulate variables of various scales from vim.{g,b,t}; to see more details, see lua-vim-variables help section
    • vim.opt will return an Option object, it has a common API; to learn more about it, see vim.opt and its subsections
    • to run Vimscript, you can use vim.cmd — e.g., vim.cmd "colorscheme nord"

  • there are Neovim configurations written in Lua

  • comprehensive examples include Neovim plugins that are already written in Lua
