🧩 Extras

Extras are optional feature packs that extend FtVim's functionality. They are disabled by default to keep the base configuration lean.

Enabling Extras

With :FtVimExtras (recommended)

Run :FtVimExtras (or <leader>Fx) and select an extra to toggle it, then restart Neovim.

FtVim Extras (select to toggle)
  ○ copilot      Copilot Extra
  ○ dap          Debugging Extra (C/C++)
  ● lang.42      42 School Extra
  ○ lang.cpp     C++ Extra (CPP Modules, ft_irc, webserv)
  ...

Your selection is saved in ~/.config/nvim/ftvim.json.

In your config

You can also import them in ~/.config/nvim/lua/config/lazy.lua:

require("lazy").setup({
  spec = {
    -- FtVim core
    {
      "FtVim/FtVim",
      import = "ftvim.plugins",
    },

    -- Enable extras here:
    { import = "ftvim.plugins.extras.lang.42" },    -- 42 School
    { import = "ftvim.plugins.extras.copilot" },    -- GitHub Copilot

    -- Your plugins
    { import = "plugins" },
  },
})

Extras imported this way show up as "in your config" in :FtVimExtras.

After enabling an extra, restart Neovim: lazy.nvim installs the new plugins automatically.

Creating Your Own Extras

You can create your own extras for features you want to toggle on/off. Create a file in ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/extras/:

-- ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/extras/rust.lua
return {
  -- Rust support
  {
    "mrcjkb/rustaceanvim",
    version = "^4",
    ft = { "rust" },
  },

  -- Add rust-analyzer to mason
  {
    "mason-org/mason.nvim",
    opts = {
      ensure_installed = { "rust-analyzer" },
    },
  },
}

Then import it in your lazy.lua:

{ import = "plugins.extras.rust" },
