Neovim Lazy.nvim Optimizer FAQs

Question 1

What are the best triggers for lazy-loading?

Accepted Answer

Common triggers include 'ft' for language-specific plugins, 'cmd' for tools accessed via commands, and events like 'InsertEnter' for completion engines or 'VeryLazy' for UI enhancements.

Question 2

How do I know if my Neovim startup is too slow?

Accepted Answer

Generally, a startup time under 50ms is considered excellent. If your editor takes longer than 100ms to load, this skill helps identify which specific plugins are causing the delay.

Question 3

Does this work with other plugin managers?

Accepted Answer

This skill is specifically designed for lazy.nvim, though the profiling workflow and general optimization concepts are applicable to most Neovim environments.

Question 4

Will lazy-loading break my keybindings?

Accepted Answer

No. This skill provides patterns to define keybindings within the plugin spec so that lazy.nvim can automatically load the plugin the moment you use the associated shortcut.

Question 5

Can I lazy-load my colorscheme?

Accepted Answer

It is recommended not to lazy-load colorschemes. This skill suggests using high priority (priority = 1000) to ensure the UI renders correctly immediately without a visual flash.
