dev_env

Personal Neovim and tmux configuration.

Install (macOS/Linux)

git clone https://github.com/lenliu3/dev_env ~/Documents/dev_env
~/Documents/dev_env/install.sh

install.sh:

1. Checks for required and recommended dependencies (prints install hints for anything missing)
2. Symlinks ~/.tmux.conf → tmux.conf and ~/.config/nvim → nvim/
3. Bootstraps TPM and installs tmux plugins

Any existing files are backed up with a .bak-<timestamp> suffix. Edits in either location write through to the repo, so cd ~/Documents/dev_env && git diff shows your actual config drift.

Dependencies

Required: nvim (≥ 0.10), git, tmux

Recommended:

• ripgrep (rg) — telescope live-grep
• fd — faster telescope file finder
• make + C compiler — telescope-fzf-native builds a C extension
• npm — markdown-preview.nvim post-install
• unzip, curl — mason fetches LSP servers
• JDK 17+ — jdtls Java LSP
• A Nerd Font for nvim-web-devicons glyphs

Clipboard works without a helper tool on a headless remote host: tmux sets set-clipboard on and ships the copy to your terminal over OSC 52. When a local clipboard tool (pbcopy, wl-copy, xsel, xclip, clip.exe) is present, tmux.conf also pipes through it, which covers terminals that discard OSC 52.

OSC 52 support is per-terminal: Ghostty, kitty, WezTerm, and Alacritty have it; macOS Terminal.app does not; iTerm2 needs Preferences > General > Selection > "Applications in terminal may access clipboard". Test it by copying and pasting locally -- #{client_termfeatures} is inferred from $TERM, not probed, so it claims clipboard for any xterm* even when the terminal drops the escape.

Install (Windows)

Symlinks require an admin shell or Developer Mode:
