Welcome to VimStar!

This is a Neovim distribution optimized for writing. Key shortcuts (using Space instead of Ctrl) are a homage to WordStar.

Documentation

For comprehensive documentation, visit the VimStar Site or check out the docs/ directory.

Quick Guide:

1. Press Space in normal mode to see the menu.

2. There are WordStar-like key bindings with helpful menus. Instead, however, of the Ctrl key, they're prefixed with Space instead, to avoid collision with Vim keys (such as Ctrl-o). See Space-k, Space-o, Space-q, and Space-g.

3. Plugins are downloaded automatically via Lazy and should be downloaded automatically after installing.

4. Configuration on Linux/macOS is symlinked, so you can try VimStar and then easily go back to your own configuration (have a look at the install script).

Installation

The installation scripts

• Clone/update VimStar to ~/.VimStar
• On Linux, symlink the ~/.VimStar to ~/.config/nvim
• On Windows, copy the configuration to %LOCALAPPDATA%\nvim, create required directories, and set up user config template

Note: You must have Git installed and available in your PATH.
