manual installation

• to 01/14/2023, mason.nvim doesn't officially support ensure_installed (see this issue)
  • need to manually install codelldb via MasonInstall codelldb and ensure $PATH includes ~/.local/share/nvim/mason/bin

faq

• why neo-tree instead of chadtree, nvim-tree and nerdtree for file management?
  • chadtree doesn't support open a dir
  • nvim-tree doesn't support to enter a dir in the tree
  • nerdtree is no longer maintained (actually I like it)
• why leap.nvim instead of easymotion, vim-sneak, hop.nvim for metajump?
  • when I switch to lua config and lazy.nvim, vim-sneak stop working.
  • hop.nvim is buggy
  • leap.nvim is more actively maintained, and the design is better
• why nvim-cmp instead of coq.nvim, mini.completion for autocompletion?
  • coq.nvim makes my neovim crash from time to time; nvim-cmp never.
  • mini.completion is neat, but it's not as feature-rich as nvim-cmp.
• why nvim-dap instead of vim-inspector?
  • more convenient to debug unit tests
• about neovim's folding
  • here expr fold is used
• my leaderF doesn't work
  • execute :checkhealth and see pynvim is ok or not
