What does this PR do?

This PR streamlines the NairoVIM plugin ecosystem and enhances key configurations for better performance and usability. It removes redundant plugins, consolidates APIs, optimizes search and TypeScript LSP settings, and improves the dashboard interface.

Changes made:

  • Remove redundant plugins (nvim-notify, zen-mode, grug-far) in favor of built-in alternatives
  • Consolidate terminal API to use Snacks.terminal consistently across scooter and other features
  • Add TypeScript LSP memory configuration with workspace settings integration
  • Enhance ripgrep configuration with performance optimizations and exclusion patterns
  • Reorganize dashboard to prioritize Git/AI tools and improve OpenCode interface (width 85→100)
  • Update 20+ plugins including avante, copilot, opencode, snacks, telescope, and LSP packages
  • Add Gruvbox theme options for easy theme switching
  • Update documentation in AGENTS.md

Why is it needed?

The configuration had accumulated redundant plugins over time, leading to unnecessary complexity and maintenance overhead. Search/replace functionality was duplicated between grug-far and scooter. The notification system had both nvim-notify and Snacks notifier. TypeScript projects needed better memory management for large codebases. The dashboard layout did not prioritize frequently-used tools, and ripgrep searches could be optimized for speed.

This PR addresses these issues by consolidating tools, removing unused plugins, and optimizing critical configurations.

How have the changes been tested?

  • Verified scooter terminal functionality with Snacks.terminal API (backdrop, search/replace operations)
  • Tested dashboard shortcuts for Git, OpenCode, and other tools
  • Confirmed ripgrep exclusions work correctly with faster search performance
  • Validated TypeScript LSP memory configuration loads from workspace settings
  • Ensured all 20+ plugin updates load without conflicts
  • Tested theme switching between TokyoNight and Gruvbox

Checklist

  • Remove redundant plugins (nvim-notify, zen-mode, grug-far, nvim-ide keymaps)
  • Refactor scooter to use Snacks.terminal API
  • Add TypeScript LSP memory configuration with workspace integration
  • Optimize ripgrep configuration with performance settings and exclusions
  • Reorganize dashboard shortcuts and improve OpenCode interface
  • Update 20+ plugins to latest versions
  • Add Gruvbox theme alternatives
  • Update AGENTS.md documentation
  • Test all changes in development environment
  • Verify no breaking changes to existing workflows

- Remove nvim-notify dependency from noice.lua (use Snacks notifier)
- Remove zen-mode.nvim plugin (no keybindings configured)
- Delete orphaned nvim-ide keymaps file (plugin not installed)
- Update lazy-lock.json to reflect removed plugins

Consolidates notification system to use Snacks.nvim built-in notifier,
reducing dependencies and simplifying the plugin stack.
- Replace toggleterm.terminal.Terminal with Snacks.terminal()
- Maintain backdrop functionality and on_exit callbacks
- Update EditLineFromScooter and OpenScooterSearchText functions
- Remove toggleterm dependency from plugin list
- Terminal window detection now checks for snacks_terminal buffer pattern
- Remove grug-far plugin from init.lua
- Update Snacks dashboard to use :FindReplace (scooter) instead of :GrugFar
- scooter provides better terminal integration with custom backdrop
- Eliminates redundancy between two search/replace tools
Configure maxTsServerMemory for ts_ls to prevent out-of-memory issues in large TypeScript projects. Memory limit is extracted from VSCode workspace settings (typescript.tsserver.maxTsServerMemory) with 4GB default fallback.
Reorganize dashboard shortcuts to prioritize Git and AI tools. Replace Avante with OpenCode as primary AI assistant (shortcut key O). Increase OpenCode window width from 85 to 100 columns for better usability. Move config and utility shortcuts to bottom section for cleaner workflow.
Add performance optimizations (max-columns, smart-case), comprehensive exclusion patterns (node_modules, dist, build, lock files), and color customization for improved search visibility and speed.
Update 20+ plugins to latest versions including avante, copilot, opencode, snacks, telescope, and lsp-related packages. Add commented Gruvbox theme alternatives in Neovim and Ghostty configs for easy theme switching.
