Investigate

coverage plugin for Python
dotfiles
more dotfiles
easier way to quit a terminal like !make serve
vim-spell how do I add words to my known good words list and cycle through misspelled words
vim-spell enabled for git commit messages, with a good well known word list?
custom help file with my missed keybindings
vim-ale codeactions for rust-analyzer don't work maybe the issue should work like preview rust-analyzers actions
run tests from vim with vim-test

Neovim setup

Goals

LSP

For the LSP use neovim's native LSP server and neovim/nvim-lspconfig for configuration. Use :LspInfo to verify a language server is available and works for the file you are editing.

null-ls => :NullLsInfo

Linting

Completor

Git integration => tpope/vim-fugitive
Searching files => telescope
Smart commentor
