node --version  # Should be >= 14.14
```

Then install CoC language servers:
```vim
:CocInstall coc-json coc-tsserver coc-pyright
```

### FZF not finding files?

Install FZF and ripgrep:
```bash
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install fzf ripgrep

# macOS
brew install fzf ripgrep
```

### Colors look weird?

Add to your `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc`:
```bash
export TERM=xterm-256color
```

## Customization

The `.vimrc` file is well-organized into sections:

1. **General Settings** (lines 1-150) - Basic Vim behavior
2. **Plugin Management** (lines 151-230) - Plugin list
3. **Key Mappings** (lines 300-400) - Custom shortcuts
4. **Plugin Settings** (lines 400-600) - Plugin configurations

To customize:
1. Open `~/.vim/.vimrc`
2. Find the section you want to modify
3. Make your changes
4. Reload with `:source ~/.vimrc` or restart Vim

### Common Customizations

**Change colorscheme:**
```vim
" In .vimrc, find the colorscheme line and change to:
colorscheme dracula
" or: solarized, onedark, gruvbox
```

**Change leader key:**
```vim
" Default is comma (,), change to space:
let mapleader = " "
```

**Disable relative line numbers:**
```vim
set norelativenumber
```
