In LazyVim
LazyVim Context
LazyVim unifies plugin keymaps under an intuitive, mnemonic <leader> prefix system. The core philosophy is predictability: if it involves searching, it's under <leader>s. If it's about files, it's <leader>f.
LazyVim Core Keymap Prefix System
| Category | Prefix | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Files | <leader>f | ff (find files), fr (recent files), ft (file terminal) |
| Search | <leader>s | sg (search grep), sw (search word), sk (search keymaps) |
| Git | <leader>g | gg (lazygit), gb (git blame line), gc (git commits) |
| Code | <leader>c | ca (code action), cr (rename), cf (format) |
| Buffers | <leader>b | bb (switch buffers), bd (delete buffer), bp (toggle pin) |
| Windows | <leader>w | wv (split vertical), wd (delete window) |
| Diagnostics | <leader>x | xx (toggle list), xL (location list) |
| UI Toggles | <leader>u | uw (toggle word wrap), us (toggle spelling), ud (toggle diagnostics) |
| Quit/Session | <leader>q | qq (quit all), qs (restore session), qd (don't save session) |
Essential Navigation & LSP
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| LSP Goto | gd (definition), gr (references), gI (implementation), gy (type definition) |
| Hover Info | K (show documentation), gK (signature help) |
| Next/Prev | ]b / [b (buffers), ]d / [d (diagnostics), ]t / [t (TODOs), ]e / [e (errors) |
| Terminal | <C-/> (toggle floating terminal) |
