That is exactly what I need. Capture fleeting thoughts. Using Neovim. Thank you!

I came for gold , but got diamond , man ! dude you are underrated as fuck!

0:24 _"is cancer. Avoid it ... created their own cult."_ this part applies to another TUI editor which calls itself "post modern" imo too.

Entered the video trying to figure if it worth using vim and learned a lot of other useful stuff. Thanks for the video!

When are you mechanical keyboard dweebs gonna get it? We’re not going to spend nine minutes listening to you clickety-clack on your stupid keyboard. Get a quieter, mechanical keyboard or get a better microphone.

The Dark Souls wallpaper already earned my like

@5:05 - 5:20 is poetic and great advice for anybody considering using vim over GUI editor / IDE, and applies to so many other things in life as well.

vim and i3wm are the best things that ever happened to computers.

#!/bin/bash # store your fave date/time formats in variables (some naming conventions can be useful) current_date="$(date +%d-%m-%Y)" current_time="$(date +%H:%M)" current_date_and_day="$(date +%A,%d-%m-%y)" system_date=$(date) # create a file and a directory (i gave it note-"date".md name and extension) file_name="$HOME/notes/note-$current_date.md" # echo a title for the file_name, (&& = executes the 2nd command only if the 1st is successful) [ ! -f $file_name ] && echo "# Your notes for: $system_date" >$file_name # use nvim normal command to structure the file layout then insert nvim -c "norm Go" \ -c "norm Go## $current_time" \ -c "norm G2o" \ -c "norm zz" \ -c "startinsert" $file_name # you can build on this very basic concept by adding your own inputs

thank you

I love the script you were not too proud of. Modified it slightly to use norg format instead of markdown and to create a symbolic link from the norg file to a txt file so that the txt file would be viewable on Google Drive: #!/bin/sh norgFilename="$HOME/Notes/ideas/$(date +%Y-%m-%d).norg" textFilename="$HOME/Notes/ideas/$(date +%Y-%m-%d).txt" if [ ! -f "$norgFilename" ]; then echo "* $(date +'%A, %-d %B %Y')" > $norgFilename fi if [ ! -f "$textFilename" ]; then ln $norgFilename $textFilename fi nvim -c "norm G2o" \ -c "norm Go** $(date +%H:%M)" \ -c "norm Go " \ -c "norm zz" \ -c "startinsert" $norgFilename

For those of you who did not successfully float the window using title, for me setting a class for the instance of the window worked: for_window [class="notetaker_window"] floating enable bindsym $mod+Shift+n exec <your_terminal_of_choice> --class notetaker_window -e <the_bash_script>

Love those tips. I hope you will continue to share those valuable tips.

I am HARD at work doing things

great video. Very informative

Rather than all those fancy words it would have been a lot quicker and easier to just say... one text editor (vim or neovim) are complex editors and will need lots of time to just learn how to do basic things but if you stick with it then eventually you may be able to do more things more quickly than what you would in most other text editors... however if you think you will not be able to put in the learning time then go grab a more user friendly text editor like VSCode, UltraEdit, Notepad++, EmEditor or one of many other text editors out there.

I fucking love you man !!!! I was wondering about journal app exactly like this. I bow to the youtube algorithm that suggested me this video !!!🙇 I use markdown-preview to preview my markdown files. I am using kde and I have added a global shortcut. Its awesome !!!!❤ And you got another subscriber !! I love how you gently explain things. Cheers 🍻

Cute music. What is it called?

Next level productivity configuration here, by which I mean a setup that works well and spans multiple programs for a holistic solution. Lot’s of inspiring ideas!

At least you are not wasting your time with emacs...but with vim or neovim...they are all backward tools..Productivity has NO link with a programmer editor. Typing garbage faster is producing garbage faster..those tools are totally inadequate to do refactoring, badly design solutions for code completion, endless stream of plugins or scripts...mostly unmaintained, emacs being the worst here by a mile... Looking at neovim I can already a sea of bad lua code....

Super cool! I implemented your scripts with DWM, Alacritty and Groff! Works really well, thank you very much!! <3

hi how can i set status line same to you

Expression is a good way of putting it. I mean it's like musical instruments ... which are not designed to make it easy for beginners primarily. They are designed for those who have the patience to make them essentially part of their body , or muscle memory. And then magic can happen :)

Even 2 years later works well with my window manager! Exactly what I was looking for!

tell me the keyboard name please

Is there a way to use "reactive wallpapers" on Linux? I know we can use "live wallpapers" which is not the same thing. I'm referring to wallpapers that react to your mouse cursor.

0:23 that was hysterical 🤣

What were those screenshots of the non terminal nvim guis? Particularly the first one editing swift looked really cool.

I feel this is unfair to vim. the man page for vim and the builtin help utilities are both extremely helpful/discoverable. It's not hard to get started with vim if you read them. Not only that, but vim comes with a specific tool to teach you basic vim, called vimtutor, if you just *really* don't want to read docs. But either way, I feel like everyone really portrays vim as this nasty difficult thing to familiarize yourself with or figure out when it's really not. All it is, is different.

Looks really cool and novel but this vim shit really isn't practical for most developers

2 b very nice, i would say FORGET abt neovim, the installation is alr (very) buggy. i have tried on an almost brand new installation of ubuntu 22.04 LTS & its failed with many "unmet dependancies." vim on the other hand never gives me such irritating error messages; vim always JUST WORKS!

Your purpose of being helpful without distracting your viewers can be felt while watching your videos. Thank you for making this kind of extremely high quality content. Really hard to find these kinds of videos that helps people without tricking them by click-baity titles and all. You know your audience, and you talk to them in a way that they want to hear.

Wow this can be really helpful. I've seen many programming tutorials where the text is too small to read. Going full screen to see it better while still having a split screen editor where you can type seems nice!

I think this is mostly true, but I've found with Neovim that there is a point past "expressiveness" where you can reach "discoverable expressiveness". Case in point: in my current setup I can both configure it any way I could ever imagine, and I also have fuzzy finding search tools for files, words in files, keymaps, help documents for Neovim core and plugins, etc. It's all within easy reach, so the further I go, the more discoverable it becomes. Couple that with the ability to set it up exactly how I want it to work and it becomes a very intuitive user experience that "gets out of the way" and lets me translate thought to code with much less friction. It was never about speed for me, it was about getting the point I'm at now. And I am very happy with it.

great video sir, you explained everything thoroughly and in an interesting way

Great video! Very balanced. If I may suggest, the importance of discoverability only plummets over time for the things you do regularly. The moment you need to accomplish something new (or differently to the way you normally accomplish it), discoverability suddenly becomes very important again.

I like buffers and buftabline plugin, which displays buffers in the tabline as if they were tabs. One of the very few plugins I use. You can then split or vsplit your window to view multiple buffers at the same time. You obviously know your vanilla Vim which is awesome.

If you :wq for some reason the autocmd does not recognize the BufBritePost, I do not know if its because it closes too fast but it incapacitates the ability to do :wq and then read the last note, has anyone encountered this? do they know a solution? if so please respond to this comment

My setup is vscode with the neovim extension. In this case, I get to have both discoverability and expressiveness (former from vscode, latter from neovim)

I myself did something similar. I disabled most of my notifications. I don't check most of my notifications. Most of them are just spaming me and exploite my addictions..

Thank You for the helpful tips :)

Amaizing video. Really nice and simple comparison, that it is easy to understand.

I like your reasoning.

Atom is dead due to Microsoft .. And I am looking for a new code editor, that will not break my heart again :( I am still not sure, between Vim... or NeoVim...

UPDATE :- vim9 has new scripting language which is fast and resembles general purpose language. :)

man vim .

What Linux distro you are using? What terminal you are using? Plz, give your entire Linux setup.

Awesome stuff, this seems quite suitable for my use case. Any ideas on how to implement the floating window if one does not use i3, since I'm using macOS?

I think this video best puts into words how to explain my decision to switch over to vim. I'd say, I got tired of VSCode bloat (went too down far the discoverability tunnel) but his explanation sounds much nicer!

This video is bs. I used vim for a long time and most of the complex features it offers is unlikely to be used in 99% of time. I never need to go to “third letter of word” I do need to change word or find and change all similar words at same time and most of features like that are executed in a much better way in sublime
