Personal Neovim configuration.

Neovim Configuration

gbroques' personal Neovim configuration with the following goals and philosophy:

• Configure Neovim with IDE features like Visual Studio Code.
• Stable. Plugins are pinned to specific versions.
• Omit specifying defaults and refer to :help instead.
• Include comments for someone new to Vim / Neovim.
• Explain all mnemonics.
• Efficient.
  • There should not be dupicate mappings for an operation unless the alternative mapping is less keystrokes.
• Fast.
• Minimal.
• Tailored for Colemak over QWERTY.
