ryan4yin | 二花 739cd171ba feat(neovim): replace nixvim with programs.neovim (#336)
nixvim has been disabled for a long time (programs.nixvim.enable = false), so
drop the flake input (and prune flake.lock). Port the settings it carried to
Home Manager's programs.neovim: opts and per-plugin setup become an initLua
block plus a plugin list. The catppuccin module already provides the
colorscheme, vi stays unmapped, and the plain system neovim package is
untouched so sudo/nvim --clean keep using it.

Editors

Shared editor configuration and usage notes for terminal-focused editing.

Roles

  • Helix (helix/): Primary TUI editor — batteries-included, small attack surface. $EDITOR / $VISUAL default to hx (session-env.nix).
  • Neovim (neovim/): Backup editor — classic vim-style workflow and :help when needed. For privileged edits (sudoedit) and other security-sensitive inputs, $SUDO_EDITOR is nvim --clean; use that explicitly when $EDITOR must avoid user config/plugins.

Terminal layout and files: Zellij and Yazi live under core/zellij/ and core/yazi.nix (not in this folder).

Docs

  • helix/README.md — Helix basics, cheatsheet, official doc links, Helix vs Neovim notes.
  • neovim/README.md — Vim/Neovim basics, cheatsheet, and official doc links.

Nix modules in helix/ and neovim/ enable each editor via Home Manager. Language servers and other heavy editor-related packages are listed in ../../tui/editors/ (imported from home/base/tui).
