Clang Format

A clang-format configuration file is provided at ~/.config/nvim/.clang-format. This configuration file is used to format files in Neovim. You are welcome to modify this file according to your preferences or replace it with your own.

To specify a different clang-format configuration file, navigate to your init.vim file and locate section 13. You can update the file path within this section to point to your desired clang-format configuration file. By default, it points to ~/.config/nvim/.clang-format.

To format the currently opened file using clang-format, you can use the :Cf command. Simply execute :Cf within Neovim to apply the formatting.

Copy to Clipboard

Check if copy to clipboard is enabled on your system using the following: :echo has('clipboard') If this returns 1 copying stuff to the clipboard will be easy.

Just use :%y+ to copy the whole file or select the part you want to copy using the visual mode and then use :'<,'>y+
