# Switching to Neovim

I've been using Vim with Plug for two years with a few stabs at Neovim here and
there, but I was conviced to put time into configuring Neovim by two plugins:
norcalli/colorizer.lua and epwalsh/obsidian.nvim. That and poking around other
people's dotfiles. I just found the directory structure and ability to use
several init.lua files much more organized and modular than a sprawling vimrc
and several ftplugins. I'm also tinkering with a headless server now and
stupidly would like my text editor to have distinctive colorschemes with opaque
backgrounds so I don't get confused muxing about.

My config is occasionally ripped line-for-line from xero and ejiqpep, whose
blog post on setting up Neovim from scratch was ane enormous help:

Really most of my effort has been spent on colorschemes, all made possible by
lush.nvim. I have three: a higher a lower contrast pair of *Sailor Moon* themes,
and a dark pink one for Perona from *One Piece*. The pink one is on the headless
server, which also shows it in the tty if I ever hook up a monitor, and has a
matching iSH theme. Now my two laptops use each *Sailor Moon* theme: high
contrast navy on my clamshell and lower-contrast violet on the MacBook Air.

This theming and my now regular use of tmux sent me on some terminal emulator
speed dates that happily led me right back home to foot, where you can specify
xterm-256color like you would in Alacritty. I had an awful few days trying out
kitty, which is weird o Alpine in particular.

The standout plugins for me besides Colorizer, Obsidian, and Lush have been

+ noice.lua - from folke, maker of lazy and Tokyonight. i like the floating
command window since it gets a bit busy down there with nvim *and* tmux's status
bars
+ lualine - no other statusline imo
+ mini-notify - i found noice's notifications from nvim-notify a little
overstimulating

My current issue is trying to figure out if mosh works for me. Googling around,
other people report their nvim colors look weird on mosh, but I wonder if it's
also iSH.
