Live notes (volatile)

Windows 11 Terminal

Neovim Statusline plugin config

• https://github.com/nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim
  • statusline plugin has Nerd Fonts dependencies ( https://www.nerdfonts.com/ )
  • the dependecy is: { 'nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim', dependencies = { 'nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons' } <- this line }
• nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons : install with Lazy.nvim (optional)
• make sure to have the nerd font of your choice installed on the system
• once font is installed, additional configuration Terminal is required:
  • Terminal -> Settings -> settings.json file
  • profile -> defaults -> font: "font": { "face": "Google Sans Code, JetBrainsMono Nerd Font Mono", "size": 13 },
  • save JSON -> restart the terminal
  • JetBrainsMono Nerd Font Mono was used for devicons because Google Sans Code does not have a Nerd Font variant
