README

NeoVim Configuration

A feature-rich Neovim configuration with AI integration optimized for LaTeX, Markdown, Jupyter Notebooks, and managing NixOS.

**Looking for a user-friendly alternative?** See the [Zed Configuration](https://github.com/benbrastmckie/zed) for a more approachable editor setup that requires less initial investment than NeoVim.

This setup provides a streamlined environment for academic writing, code development, and system management. The AI integration makes it easy to learn and configure this setup for your specific needs. Every subdirectory includes a `README.md` file which documents the modules contained in that directory.

Installation

**Recommended**: See the [Claude Code-Assisted Installation Guide](docs/CLAUDE_CODE_INSTALL.md) for AI-powered setup assistance that automates dependency checking, troubleshooting, and configuration validation.

**Migrating from Existing Config**: See the [Migration Guide](docs/MIGRATION_GUIDE.md) for systematic instructions on moving from your current Neovim setup while preserving your customizations, keybindings, and preferences.

**Traditional Setup**: See the [Installation Guide](docs/INSTALLATION.md) for manual step-by-step setup instructions, including how to fork the repository, install dependencies, and run health checks.

**Want to customize notifications?** See the [Notification System Documentation](docs/NOTIFICATIONS.md) for configuring notification behavior across all modules and plugins.
