# Wiki
- [pre-requisite](https://github.com/siduck76/NvChad/wiki/Lua-guides)
- [config-structure](https://github.com/siduck76/NvChad/wiki#config-structure)
- [mappings](https://github.com/siduck76/NvChad/wiki/mappings)
# Bloat
- To all those who think this is probably bloated , sure it is . Bloat means different to everyone . NvChad has like 30 ~ plugins but that doesnt mean those plugins are compromsing neovim's speed, snappiness or making it slow. No matter how many plugins I'd add on nvchad , it wouldnt compromise speed / snappiness / make it slow or whatever since it uses packer.nvim as plugin manager , packer.nvim lets you lazy load plugins i.e loading plugins on certain events , mappings , sequentially loading them etc so loading them only when needed , I have lazy loaded all the plugins so most plugins arent loaded by default , hence not affecting neovim's startup/launch time.

# TODO
It would be nice if NvChad focuses on existing plugins and config before adding new things , some plugins like whichkey , telescope , treesitter still have basic configs! Also adding new features that'd make NvChad slow or its startuptime slow wouldnt be encouraged , if that feature's really needed then It'll be mentioned in the wiki with its config.
- Debloat the config
- Add more themes.
- Add a theme switcher.
- Preview shortcuts in the form of a pretty [cheatsheet](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/59060246/122490009-95fd9980-cffe-11eb-9676-78019aa2cd65.png)
- Add a global configuration so it doesnt get hard to update :c
# Contribute
- PR's are always welcomed however NvChad aims to be less bloated and suckless. So PR's regarding existing plugin's enhancement , bug fixes are more encouraged.
- PR's regarding adding new plugins and their configs must be given some thought since NvChad aims to have a minimal config and meant to be used as a "base" neovim config so it will have only a set of important plugins. So adding more and more plugins, making NvChad bloated + slow wont help!.
- NvChad isnt a Framework. NvChad wont keep adding more and more features ( adding new plugins most likely) as requested , no spoonfeeding!! If you think the plugin you want to be added is very useful and many NvChaders would find it useful, then such feature's PR is welcomed!
- But adding specific features like adding config for https://github.com/wakatime/vim-wakatime etc will be added in this https://github.com/siduck76/NvChad/wiki/Chad-user-configs. This lets the user select the things only they want ( from extra configs ) .
