Setup and Customizing Polydev

🔧 Project Name Customization

You can easily customize the default directory for your project! The project can be created from any directory, and Polydev will automatically create the required project root directory for you.

Note: project_root allows you to customize where your project will be stored. If you don't specify it, the default is ~/Projects/Language.

LazyVim Example

return {
    ...
    opts = {
        <language> = {
            project_root = "~/Home/..." -- Default: ~/Projects/Language
        }
    }
    ...
}

Packer Example

require("Polydev").language.setup({
    project_root = "~/Home/..." -- Default: ~/Projects/Language
})

⌨ Keybinds Customization

Polydev allows you to easily manage keybinds, providing a uniform way to interact with different languages. Most keybinds are the same across languages, while some have language-specific ones (e.g., Python's pip keybind).

Keybind Categories

Keybind Type	Description
Universal	Cannot be changed through specific language settings (e.g., <leader>nf for a new file).
Per-language	Can be customized per language (e.g., <leader>pb for language build).

LazyVim Example

return {
    ...
    opts = {
        <language> = {
            ["<Esc>"] = "CloseTerminal",  -- Universal, can be changed per language for now
            ["<leader>pb"] = "languageBuild",  -- Per-language
            ["<leader>pr"] = "languageRun",   -- Per-language
            ["<leader>nf"] = "NewLanguageFile",  -- Universal
            ["<leader>nh"] = "NewLanguageSecondaryFile",  -- Universal
        }
    }
    ...
}

Packer Example

require("Polydev").language.setup({
    keybinds = {
        ["<Esc>"] = "CloseTerminal",  -- Universal, can be changed per language for now
        ["<leader>pb"] = "languageBuild",  -- Per-language
        ["<leader>pr"] = "languageRun",   -- Per-language
        ["<leader>nf"] = "NewLanguageFile",  -- Universal
        ["<leader>nh"] = "NewLanguageSecondaryFile",  -- Universal
    }
})

🖥 Terminal Customization

You can further tweak the terminal settings to suit your preferences! These options allow you to adjust padding, borders, numbers, and scrolling behavior.

Available Terminal Settings

Setting	Default Value	Description
right_padding	0	Padding for the right width of the terminal.
left_padding	0	Padding for the left width of the terminal.
top_padding	0	Padding for the top height of the terminal.
bottom_padding	0	Padding for the bottom height of the terminal.
border	true	Adds a rounded border to the window.
number	true	Displays line numbers in the terminal.
relativenumber	true	Displays relative numbers based on cursor position.
scroll	true	Enables scroll functionality in the terminal.

Note: These terminal settings allow you to personalize the terminal view and improve usability. You can easily adjust the padding, borders, and other aspects to your preference.

LazyVim Example

return {
    ...
    opts = {
        terminal = {
            right_padding = 0,
            bottom_padding = 0,
            left_padding = 0,
            top_padding = 0,
            border = true,
            number = true,
            relativenumber = true,
            scroll = true,
        }
    }
    ...
}

Packer Example

require("Polydev").setup({
    terminal = {
        right_padding = 0,
        bottom_padding = 0,
        left_padding = 0,
        top_padding = 0,
        border = true,
        number = true,
        relativenumber = true,
        scroll = true,
    }
})
