There are many ways of setting up a C compiler for Tree-sitter on Windows 11, but this is one such way.

Installing Clang

Install Visual Studio Build Tools 2026 using winget install Microsoft.VisualStudio.BuildTools. Run the Visual Studio Installer, which you will find in the Start menu.

On the left, select Desktop development with C++. After selecting it, the right hand panel will list optional components you can install, from which select C++ Clang tools for Windows.

Problem

The Back, Home and Overview buttons (left pointing triangle, circle, square) buttons don't do anything when clicked in Emulator.

Solution

Go into avd folder. You will find it in:

$ANDROID_AVD_HOME if you have set it.
$ANDROID_SDK_HOME\avd

Problem

When opening a Flutter project in VSCode, in the list of devices you can debug against, you don't see the list of emulators that are listed in Android Studio.

Diagnosis

First run:

avdmanager list avd

Settings for Cursor column highlight VSCode extension

These are my settings for the Cursor column highlight extension for VSCode.

{
    "cursor-column.showBorder": true,
    "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
        "cursorColumnColor": "#1f231f"
 }

To install Markdown Preview in LunarVim on Windows, follow these steps:

In config.lua add the following to your lvim.plugins table:

{
    "iamcco/markdown-preview.nvim",
    cmd = { "MarkdownPreviewToggle", "MarkdownPreview", "MarkdownPreviewStop" },
    ft = { "markdown" }
}

On Windows, you should be able to create a .wezterm.lua in $HOME (which is really just $HOMEDRIVE + $HOMEPATH).

Here is a sample .wezterm.lua which sends a Control-w in response to Control-Backspace, useful for deleting a word behind the cursor:

local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
local act = wezterm.action

return {


	function Copy-GitChanges {
	param (
	[string]$Source,
	[string]$Destination
	)

	if (!(Test-Path $Source)) {
	throw "Source path '$Source' does not exist."
	}

	{
	"custom-layouts": [
	{
	"uuid": "{47386FC1-998E-4355-9E5D-034CB0AD7583}",
	"name": "12 by 12",
	"type": "grid",
	"info": {
	"rows": 12,
	"columns": 12,
	"rows-percentage": [

	vim.o.breakindent = true
	vim.o.linebreak = true

	vim.o.number = true
	vim.o.relativenumber = true

	vim.opt.tabstop = 4
	vim.opt.shiftwidth = 4
	vim.opt.softtabstop = 4
	vim.opt.expandtab = true

	Function Set-PSConsoleReadLineSelectionState
	{
	param(
	[Parameter(Mandatory)][int]$Start,
	[Parameter(Mandatory)][int]$Length,
	[ValidateSet('Backward', 'Forward')][string]$Direction='Forward'
	)

	$startCursorPosition,$selectChar = switch ($Direction)
	{
