Many editors promise speed and power, yet slow down on real codebases or hide important behavior behind menus. This book shows you how to configure Neovim with clear Lua files, measured performance, and modern tooling so your environment stays quick, predictable, and easy to maintain.

You will install Neovim on Linux, macOS, Windows, and WSL, then create a clean init.lua that loads only what you need. Each feature is added with purpose, tested in practical workflows, and explained with plain guidance so you can adapt it to your team or your stack.
