Neovim Configs ( Copyable )

This document provides a performance-optimized configuration for both Neovim (Lua) and VS Code (JSON).

Keybindings Strategy

• Vertical Speed: Shift + J/K jumps 5 lines.
• Horizontal Speed: H/L moves to the start/end of the line.
• Word Navigation: n/m replaces w/b for ergonomic home-row word jumping.
• Search Recovery: Since n is now "word forward", Space + n becomes "next search match".

1. Neovim Configuration (init.lua)

Place this in ~/.config/nvim/init.lua.

-- ==========================================================================
-- NEOVIM ERGONOMIC NAVIGATION CONFIG
-- ==========================================================================

local map = vim.keymap.set
local opt = { noremap = true, silent = true }

-- 1. Fast Vertical Movement (5 lines at a time)
-- We use 'n' for normal mode and 'v' for visual mode to keep selection working.
map({'n', 'v'}, 'J', '5j', opt)
map({'n', 'v'}, 'K', '5k', opt)

-- Recovery: Map 'Join Lines' to <leader>j since J is now movement
vim.g.mapleader = " " -- Ensure space is leader
map('n', '<leader>j', 'J', opt)

-- 2. Line Navigation (H for Start, L for End)
map({'n', 'v'}, 'H', '^', opt) -- Jump to first non-blank character
map({'n', 'v'}, 'L', '$', opt) -- Jump to end of line

-- 3. Word Movement on Home Row (n/m)
-- This replaces 'w' (forward) and 'b' (backward)
map({'n', 'v'}, 'n', 'w', opt)
map({'n', 'v'}, 'm', 'b', opt)

-- Recovery: Search Next/Prev Match moved to leader
-- Since 'n' is taken, we use <leader>n to find the next search result
map('n', '<leader>n', 'n', opt)
map('n', '<leader>N', 'N', opt)

-- 4. Quick Escape
-- The 'jj' sequence to exit insert mode is a life-saver for speed.
map('i', 'jj', '<Esc>', opt)

-- 5. Additional Power Moves
-- Center screen after large jumps (keeps your eyes in the middle)
map('n', '<C-d>', '<C-d>zz', opt)
map('n', '<C-u>', '<C-u>zz', opt)

-- Clear highlights with Space + l
map('n', '<leader>l', ':nohlsearch<CR>', opt)

---

2. VS Code Configuration (settings.json)

Add these to your existing settings.json.
