Neovim init.lua Changes — 2026-03-05

All changes made to ~/.config/nvim/init.lua during this session.

Colorscheme

Replaced folke/tokyonight.nvim (tokyonight-night) with RRethy/base16-nvim (base16-one-light — subdued light theme based on Atom One Light).

Treesitter

Fixed nvim-treesitter config error (attempt to call field 'install' (a nil value)). The lazy-lock.json had a pinned commit from the archived master branch instead of main. Updated the lock file to the correct main branch commit (544320a9) where require('nvim-treesitter').install() exists.

vim.o.wrapscan	false	Don't wrap search past end of file
vim.o.wildmode	'list:longest'	Tab completion: list matches, complete longest common string
vim.o.wildmenu	false	Disable wildmenu (was overriding wildmode)
vim.o.tabstop	4	Tab display width of 4 columns
listchars.tab	' '	Tabs render as plain spaces (invisible)

blink.cmp (completion plugin)

Customized cmdline completion to fix wildmode conflict and improve UX:

cmdline = {
  keymap = {
    ['<Tab>'] = { 'select_and_accept', 'fallback' },
    ['<C-n>'] = { 'select_next', 'fallback' },
    ['<C-p>'] = { 'select_prev', 'fallback' },
  },
  completion = {
    list = { selection = { preselect = true, auto_insert = true } },
    menu = { auto_show = true },
  },
},

• Top match auto-selected and auto-inserted
• <Tab> accepts the selection (instead of <C-y>)
• <C-n>/<C-p> to cycle matches

New Plugins

Plugin	Purpose
sindrets/diffview.nvim	Side-by-side git diff viewer for all files, file history
rafamadriz/friendly-snippets	Premade snippets for many languages (Go, Rust, etc.)

Diff Colors

Fixed unreadable diff highlights (dark backgrounds on light theme). Added termguicolors = true and overrode DiffAdd, DiffDelete, DiffChange, DiffText with light pastel backgrounds via ColorScheme autocmd.

Terminal Title

Set terminal title to NVIM via vim.o.title = true and vim.o.titlestring = 'NVIM'.
