Personal Neovim configuration: NvChad v2.5 base + LazyVim muscle-memory keybindings, tuned for cybersecurity, low-level systems programming, and full-stack development.

Built on the NvChad starter skeleton — NvChad provides the UI (statusline, tabufline, themes, dashboard) and core plumbing; LazyVim's high-frequency keymaps are ported on top wherever the underlying plugin exists. This is a hybrid, not a LazyVim clone: no snacks.nvim, no noice — telescope and nvim-tree stay.

Prerequisites (Arch): git ripgrep fd nodejs npm go rust lazygit gcc make unzip curl python and a Nerd Font. rustfmt comes from the rust package; rust-analyzer is installed via Mason.

git clone <this-repo> ~/.config/nvim
nvim                  # first run: lazy.nvim bootstraps and installs everything
:MasonInstallAll      # LSP servers, formatters, debug adapters (async, run once)

<leader> = space. Press <leader> and wait for the which-key popup. NvChad defaults not listed here still apply (<Tab>/<S-Tab> buffer cycle, <leader>th theme picker, <C-n> tree, <A-i/h/v> terminals, …).

• Update: :Lazy update. After NvChad updates, re-check that the LSP <leader>D shadow fix still holds (:map <leader>D in an LSP buffer should show only DBUI) — it relies on nvchad.configs.lspconfig resolving on_attach at LspAttach time.
• Broken highlights after update/theme edit: rebuild the base46 cache — :Lazy build base46 or rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim/base46.
• Mappings load order: lua/mappings.lua runs after lazy setup, so NvChad's own maps would clobber plugin keys= specs on the same LHS. Keys that collide (harpoon, dap, dbui) are defined in mappings.lua as require() closures — keep new colliding keys there, not in plugin specs.
• Biome in monorepos: nested packages need "extends" from the root biome.json or the server won't attach.
• codelldb: adapter shim at ~/.local/share/nvim/mason/bin/codelldb; fallback path is mason/packages/codelldb/extension/adapter/codelldb.
