This is my personal Neovim configuration. It has been built around the mini.nvim plugin---an amazing set of 40+ modules carefully crafted to balance features versus implementation complexity.¹

Key concepts:

• Each plugin has its own configuration file. This makes it easier to navigate to a specific plugin's configuration via a file picker. It also results in smaller files that are easier to read and maintain.

• Plugins are grouped into three subdirectories: core/, mini/, and other/. The core/ directory holds essential configurations that are loaded first. mini/ is dedicated to 'mini.nvim' plugins, while other/ includes all remaining plugin configurations.

• Plugins are loaded in the order of core/, mini/, and other/. Within each of those directories, plugins are loaded in alphanumeric order as well. Numeric prefixes are used to ensure correct loading order.

• Most mappings are defined in plugin/core/13_mappings so it's easy to see what mappings have been used and what's still available. In some cases, this is not possible, but for the most part, it works well.

• Plugins are managed natively by the new builtin 'vim.pack' plugin manager, which is scheduled for inclusion in Neovim 0.12+. Lazy loading is achieved using two helper functions from 'mini.deps' called now and later. Any plugin that is essential for startup is loaded with now, while plugins that are not essential are loaded with later.

Below is an overview of the directory structure:
