Overview

KARTOZA · NEOVIM

timvim is not a bare editor — it is a curated distribution. On top of plain Neovim it layers language servers, fuzzy finding, git tooling, AI assistance, debugging, a themed dashboard and dozens of quality-of-life plugins, all wired together declaratively so they simply work the moment you launch.

This page is the map. It shows what is in the box and why — every add-on grouped by the job it does. When you hit a task ("how do I search?", "where is git?", "what gives me completion?"), find the family here, then jump to the matching page in the User Guide.

The add-ons at a glance

The diagram below is generated automatically from timvim's live configuration, so it always reflects exactly what ships today.

For the full list — every add-on with a one-line purpose and a link to its upstream project — see Add-ons & Components.

How the families fit together

  • AI Assistance

    Claude Code for chat and agentic edits; Copilot for inline ghost text. Optional and transparent — see the AI policy.

  • Language & LSP

    Diagnostics, formatting, snippets and treesitter syntax for every supported language. See Diagnostics & LSP.

  • Navigation & Search

    Telescope, flash motions and the Yazi file manager. See Navigation & Search.

  • Git & GitHub

    Gitsigns hunks, Diffview and Octo for pull requests. See the Git Workflow.

  • Debug & Test

    nvim-dap with persistent breakpoints and Neotest. See Debugging.

  • UI & Appearance

    The dashboard, statusline, notifications, folds and the Kartoza theme. See the Design Aesthetic.

Kept honest automatically

The diagram and the Add-ons table are generated by lib/gen-addons-docs.py from lib/addons.json, which is drift-checked against the config/ tree at build time. Add or remove a plugin and the docs build fails until this Overview is updated — so it can never quietly fall out of date.
