⚙️ Installation

You can install FKvim using Git:

mv ~/.local/share/nvim ~/.local/share/nvim.backup

2. Clone FKvim

git clone https://github.com/Flash-codes/fkvim.git ~/.config/nvim

3. If your staring directory is fkvim/lua instead of lua/..

then install using the following command

git clone https://github.com/Flash-codes/fkvim.git  temp/FKvim
mkdir -p  ~/.config/nvim
mv temp/Fkvim/* ~/.config/nvim/
rm -rf temp/FKvim

Try only if 2 methods isn't working

Adding Fkvim Alias (Optional but recommended)

If you want to use fkvim alias then open terminal and add following lines

echo "alias fk='nvim'" >> ~/.zshrc
echo "alias fkall='nvim .'" >> ~/.zshrc
echo "alias fk.config='fkall ~/.config/nvim/'" >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

✅ Alias Usage

Alias	Expands To	Description
fk	nvim	Opens Neovim
fkall	nvim .	Opens Neovim in the current directory
fk.config	fkall ~/.config/nvim/	Opens your Neovim config directory in Neovim

Launch Neovim

Just open Neovim normally:

If you have not defined alias then

The plugins will auto-install on first launch. 🚀

If nothing happens, run :Lazy and hit "Install".
