@@LostinMangobut if you watch the video, you can see he really doesn't know some basic command and I was wondering why he was using VIM for 10 years.
This just shows you how good of a mentor Prime is, this dude was all over the place and Prime just keeps his cool and walks him through with clarity. It's a good example for me as I'm coming up on 3 years of experience and mentoring fresh engineers
this dudes not a fresh engineer :D , and tbh i thought primes teaching style was kinda overwhelming, he kept swithing pace and jumped topics, without even beeing asked for, pushing his own mentality onto his studen rather than empowering and enhancing his style.
If terminal is the only thing, he can simply do horizontal split and enter the terminal mode there. I only configured two keybindings: one to enter terminal mode, another one is i map Esc key in t mode (terminal mode) to exit terminal mode without closing the terminal. It is pretty sweet to because you can navigate the terminal using nvim keybindings (hjkl), yank parts of the terminal including outputs, commands, your machine name, basically every text that you can see in the terminal.

Many people don't know the fact that windows terminal has tmux like features. u can split panes vertically, horizontally and can also resize em and close. Check the commands on the command pallette of WT. alt+shift+ is vertical split and alt+shift+ - is horizontal split. Hold alt and arrow keys to change panes. Ctrl+shift+w to close
That's true and you can also change the keybindings. However, as far as I know (as a tmux-beginner), tmux has many more features than just splitting, e.g. multiple sessions with the possibility of detaching, renaming of windows, better navigation between panes/windows, tmux-internal copy buffer. In addition to all that you can further extend tmux with plugins and themes.
This video is a great reminder that not all people are easy to teach. This guy has 10 years of experience with vim and he is still stumbling around on Neovim worse than I did when I started learning it. That's fine but he is completely taking for granted how digestible Prime is making neovim feel like. Neovim is hard to jump into and Prime made me feel like I was more than capable of learning it because I am nowhere as scattered as this guy is and if he can do it, I certainly can. Thank you Prime, more content like this would be appreciate it. If you need another noob to teach Neovim to, I can be that guy :P
@@АлексейСтах-з3н He's not wrong, he is a noob at neovim which is what the title says. You can see him asking prime a lot of questions about the config and plugin commands. No need to insult the guy, he's right.
one of the things surprised me is that neovim is actually fully cross platform with windows. So if he uses windows, he can use Nvy as a neovim gui renderer with neovim. And use neovim as if he were in a unix system. Except of course the command line will be powershell. But everything so far works great in my case. Lsp, telescope, completions, etc. Moreover, the configurations are identical if you use a linux system, so it's completely portable too. I use Linux on my work pc, but sometimes I develop a little bit on my personal pc, which have windows installed on it. So in my case this saves me a huge deal of going through wsl and stuff.
As a noob myself, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I know you're not a fan of pair programming but I'd love to see more videos like this. You and Anthony could do a "vim noob to power user" series lol
primeagen got me into nvim and now I can't stop tweaking all the little things that make me really enjoy my editing experience. And still there's always so much more to learn. Loving it!
I did not know that semicolon and comma repeated the find character forward and backward. You really learn something new every time you watch someone else using Vim/Neovim.
5:38 I think he was actually pasting INTO the terminal instead of pasting from the vim "+ register. That might be why he got that popup. Unless yank32 has the permission dialog by default.
I'm glad the guy was able to just paste the entire contents of the kickstart init file with no issue. I can't get it to work at all and am having to copy and paste in much smaller chunks for no apparent reason, and nvim keeps adding the "--" to the start of all lines after the initial line with "--", so that's just great...
You only need to use whichkey if you clone someone else's config, e.g., when you use kickstart. When you configure your own setup, including the keymaps, then whichkey is nothing but a nuisance.
I watched an old prime video literally right before this where he’s redoing his config and when someone recommended lazy for package management, prime said he doesn’t care which manager he uses. Lazy was so good it converted him 😂
As someone who is learning nvim on Windows myself I've found its best to make your environment as linux like as possible. I'm in between using chocolatey as a native package manager for windows while i code or just using WSL (wsl uses a LOT of ram due to virtualization but gives me a proper linux terminal). Also why is it so easy to fall for vim? I've been on windows all my life, I haven't touched DOS since the 90s and my terminal usage is limited yet the simplistic nature of doing all my work on a big blank canvas and zero distractions makes me happy.
have you tried scoop? when i had to use windows it was my "package manager" of choice it's not perfect by any means but i found it working better than choco for unix-y programs
@@demolazer I'm learning them slowly but hjkl and plenty of others are already filling my head. Not sure about trapped, however, since even if I'm in vs code i feel like I'm improving my ability to focus on typing. Actually getting flashbacks to when I was a kid in the 90s, playing around on my mom's word processor.
I have bound Ctrl+W to save/write because sometimes I feel like that typing out :w manually is too slow/anoying I also have bound Ctrl+Q to quit for the same reason. So I have bound splitting to Ctrl+C + S (horizontal) and Ctrl+C + V (vertical)
This video is gold. I am giving neovim once more a try for work. The only thing I am missing is the "change signature" in Golang and I would be set. Any tips? Maybe a workflow how to do that refactor using quicklist?
I tried neovim for my job worflow and at first I couldn't addapt to it, then when I changed my laptop I gave it another chance, and now I am using nvim finally. I also tried the vim plugin for vscode but for me it doesn't worked as expected
I am gonna watch this entire thing. Now it resonates even more withme because I finally got myself vimmotions for VSC after over a year. Not quite ready to take the Vim pill, though I have never really been a VSC worshipper nor "good" mouse user imo. I do like using my keyboard.
I love the power of Vim/NVim and the flexibility of it. I used it for years and after seeing your videos I kitted out a fairly capable nvim setup. However, the debugger configuration and UX is rough. Would love to see you configure that and interact with it. Videos out there about that only set it up and run it but don’t really debug anything which doesn’t highlight the problem with the flow.
This vid really get me to reconfigured my stuffs more to my preferences. One thing I won't change for now is from Packer to Lazy cuz I'm kinda lazy (no pun intended) Also omg ctrl + ^ is very eye-opening.
as soon as he turned his line numbers off, I was like damn prime's going to have a hard time giving instructions.. then the rest of the video "no go one line lower, no you've gone to far, one up, wait no, go to the one that says x"...
How does he move the viewport AND move the cursor along with the screen? Every time I look this up people say you need to set a keybind to do both move line and move viewport at the same time but he’s doing it on a “fresh” install
In case anyone else see this and wants this too i figured it out: you set "vim.opt.scrolloff = 1" and this will keep that many lines above and below the cursor. you can set it to something really high and always have the cursor centered on the screen.
What did you do to you old setup, with VIM and before kernel 6? Did you forget the disclaimer about profiles and sessions? Amateur mistake. And which widget kit do you guys use? KDE or Gnome? And good-old X server or MIR/Wayland?
i read a few others say the same thing. any idea why you forgot about it? are you not using vim often? or do you not search often? im trying to figure out what makes features stick in our memory, vs what makes them easy to forget.
@@bambitsunami4165 I think it's the usual progression in learning. There are many ways to do things. People get into the habit of doing the easy way, like arrow keys instead of hjkl. In order to get better, you have to actively practice the faster/better way of doing things until it becomes a habit. I don't use find next character often and I haven't read the manual recently enough to remember there's a way to repeat the last find. I guess practicing some vimgolf every week could help.
The thing people tend to mis I feel is that Neovim is a process. You don't go to the intimidating endgame right away. You use a base config until you notice small annoyences, try to fix em and get increasingly good at it and make increasingly bigger changes until you have your dream editor. You'll probably be slower than vscode in the beginning, but its just an investment.
Another thing is most people tend to clone someone's config and hoping to customize it from there. In my experience this is a horrible idea, because there will be a tons of custom keymaps, plugins, settings that you are not aware of and therefore, you will be lost. I always suggest to have those people's config as a reference, but try to configure nvim yourself. that way you will know what is the available options, keymaps, plugins, how to do fixing if something breaks.
I'm nvim noob is there any solution..my problem is that i while i was working with react-router-dom, why its not suggesting like useNavigate when i already had installed router package but work fine with react query..
the way i remember is , instead of z the letter "s" used for many words in American english. so i remember this as horiSontal but yeah there is no word called horiSontal so its not intutive for most of us 😅
Ok yea harpoon is legit, I could have just come here for that, quick list, and a few other just hunting/reference tricks I was missing. Up'd my game thanks prime.

5:50 Prime interrupting him all the time, but I'm sure he wanted to complain about `nopaste`, although I can't understand why, as he said he's been using Vim for _many_ years.
37:29 He recorded a macro on those keys that's why he experiences it.
