Recommended terminal emulator,

I recommend using kitty as the terminal emulator and have added a folder called nvim_kitty_config, which one can easily simlink to the correct position in .config/kitty. https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/

First backup your own kitty files (if you dont have kitty skip this step)

mv ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf.bak 2>/dev/null
mv ~/.config/kitty/theme.conf ~/.config/kitty/theme.conf.bak 2>/dev/null

ln -s ~/.config/nvim/kitty_nvim_conf/kitty.conf ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf
ln -s ~/.config/nvim/kitty_nvim_conf/theme.conf ~/.config/kitty/theme.conf

Useful alias

in ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashaliases

code() { nvim "$@"; }

Start Neovim

nvim
