Start Here ​

process-nvim is built for Neovim 0.12+ and uses the native vim.pack package manager rather than third-party plugin managers. It combines fast startup, modular Lua configuration, and practical research tooling in one setup: writing workflows (LaTeX, Markdown, Quarto, Typst), terminal-first execution, and strong LSP support for day-to-day scientific and technical work.

Core Workflows ​

Writing and publishing ​

  • LaTeX: \ll compile, \lv forward search, Skim/Zathura inverse search
  • Markdown: <Leader>Kp preview, plus table editing mappings under <Leader>Kt
  • Quarto: <Leader>Qp preview and <Leader>QR* rendering shortcuts
  • Typst: <localleader>tp preview toggle and <localleader>tc PDF compile

Scientific coding ​

  • Julia REPL: <Leader>Jrh, <Leader>Jrv, <Leader>Jrf launch layouts
  • Code send: <C-i>, <C-c>, <C-s> for line, block, and selection
  • LSP controls: gd, K, <Leader>Lf, <Leader>Ll, <Leader>Lr

Terminal-first workflow ​

  • <C-t> toggles the default terminal instance
  • <Leader>Tt, <Leader>Th, <Leader>Tv, <Leader>Tf provide managed terminal layouts
  • ToggleTerm and REPL mappings are designed to keep editing and execution in one view
