    I want to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
    I am a historian and work as historian writing and editing texts on a daily basis for many hours. For many years I used MS Word for this job (or LO Writer) and for a long time I thought it was terrible user experience and a true nightmare. I tried to find an alternative to MS Word well this happened later. I wrote my whole MA and doctoral thesis (367 pages total) in MS Word and LO Writer and it was a true horror. In 2020 I joined a programming bootcamp to learn Java language to be able to start working as a programmer. During bootcamp we used IntelliJ Idea and I found it very good for writing and editing code. I finished this bootcamp. First, I used Vim inside VS Code (as addon) with Dendron. I started to use Vim standalone. The beginning was hard because of my old habits. I left VS Code and Dendron because I couldn't do all the job with keyboard. I love the minimalistic user interface of Vim and Neovim and it was for my very important because I often read the medieval manuscripts and work in screen split with a part with the photography of text and same place for text editor and Vim was extremely useful. With time and practice I learned how to use a Vim and set vimrc for my needs. It was very good. And then the news hit me: the introduction of Vimscript9. Then I jumped into Neovim and for some months I kept the init.vim inside Neovim. I wanted to switch to Lua config and Lua plugins but Packer readme page scared my very much. And recently I found Your video and I switched to Neovim with Lua config with Your help! Thank You very much! I still use MS Word (sad to say it is often seen as standard solution in my profession) but only as much as I have to do and I can handle it in such an amount. With Vim and now Neovim I simply feel the joy while writing or editing a text. Also when I copy a Markdown text MS Word with help of Writage MS Word destroys the text layout less then when write a long whole text in it!

      @@cub8280 O tak to naprawdę zmiana niewyobrażalna. Zupełnie inny świat. MS Word to katastrofa. Wszelkie krótkie teksty do ok. 20 stron da się jakoś wizualnie ogarnąć i nic się generalnie nie rozpada. Oczywiście to nie poziom dokumentu LaTeX-owego. Wszelkie dłuższe rzeczy np. książki to kanał. A jeszcze takie rzeczy nie powstają w pojedynkę, ktoś otwiera to u siebie w swoim edytorze najprawdopodobniej innej wersji Worda lub czegoś podobnego i cały wygląd dokumentu dostaje tak w kość, że ojej. Możliwość edytowania korekty istniejącego tekstu poprawa w Neovimie to bajką wszelkie ruchy zaznaczenia no i pluginy typu Hop, gdzie można doskoczyć do wyniku wyszukiwania. Nabyłem już Vimowe odruchy serio. Zresztą co ciekawe jeżeli kopiuję markdownowy plik do Worda przez Writege-a to cechuje się on większą wizualną spójnością niż, jak gdyby napisać go od zera w MS Word. Na szczęście layout spada na wydawców czasopism naukowych i wydawnictw publikujących monografie naukowe i to one muszą zatroszczyć się o finalną stronę wizualną tekstu najpewniej z pomocą jakiegoś InDesigna itp. Do edycji krytycznych starych tekstów istnieje ciekawy program Classical Text Editor, który wyglądem przypomina starego Worda tylko wyśmienicie składa dokumenty finalny PDF typograficznie bardzo poprawnie złamane tylko obsługa pozostawiała wiele do życzenia np. zamknięty format pliku do pracy i część funkcji można było jedynie wyklikać myszką. Uwielbiam to, że Neovim pozwala osiągnąć tak wiele tylko z poziomu klawiatury to takie przyspieszenie. Uff Zachowuję się jak typowy fanboy Vima. Haha! Czasami i nieprogramiści korzystają z Vima lub Neovima. Tak kocham Neovima i uwielbiam go! Praca z tym edytorem to przyjemność dla mnie.

      One great use case is to to run a command on all files in the quickfix list using cfdo. For example, you could first use Telescope's find_files command to filter a list of files, then press to add them to the quickfix list and afterwards you can run something like :cfdo %s/foo/bar to replace all occurrences of foo with bar (in all files that are in the quickfix list). Don't forget to run :wa to save all files at the end of it :)

      Configuring it myself, and building it up gives me a complete understanding of the tools in my possession and more or less "forcing me" to actually know what is inside the package.

    first i watched this video, my mind exploded, but coming back after like a month, trying to get into nvim, playing with it for 2 days, i got some familiarity with it, this video helped a lot with the set-up, tqsm TJ, really appreciate your work, tq.

    Thank you TJ! You've saved me a lot of work searching for the 'IDE' plugins and configuring them to get started with the IDE experience.
    I hope that soon I'll start turning this into my own PDE :)

    Upon a second viewing after I figured out how to exit, I have to say it's a really good video. I've been testing out different setups for nvim, finding what works for me and what doesn't. I really do like it.

    Brilliant. I switched to nvim because of telescope, so I thank you for showing me the perfect editor for programming geeks like me.

  • @maninalift
    @maninalift Год назад +1

    This is great, thanks. This seems like a better starting point than fatter starter kits like nvChad, since it's easier to get your head around everything that is in the config and take ownership of it.
    A video neovim "IDE - > PDE" that starts where this one leaves off, and doesn't try to go through a huge heap of plugins and options but talks about how to incorporate new things into this config, a reasonable way to strucrure as you first break-out from a single config file.
    Eg many people seem to basically build their own module system for self-contained definitions of plugin configs, that define the dependencies of each plugin, config, loading, and sometimes associated keybindings in one place. This makes sense for reducing invisible dependencies in configuration but it also feels like a lot.

    Started using Neovim like few days ago, used the kickstarter project, now i am using vscode neovim plugin (to start slower, but i also check in iterm2 what i can do -> what is possible), and i love that in 12 mintues i learned more about super-fast navigation between files, and searching stuff (helped myself with GPT a little bit) than in the last few years. I've been on automation end like trying to add system shortcuts to everything and macros, and bash/zsh commands, but now it's time to dive deeper into managing the code navigation ;) thanks!

    Guys, I want to say a huge thans for your kickstart repository for NeoVim. I've been wanting to switch to Vim completely for a long time, but I was too lazy to write a big config, so I made a small one and used it.
    Now thanks to your repository, I will be able to use the full power of NeoVim! Thank you very much!

    this made it so much easier to get into neovim, I have been mostly using it for the past month or two. I forget which nvim "distro" I used before but I the configuration was too confusing for a noob. Kickstart is a lot more digestable, thanks

    OK this is actually the single best video for NVIM beginners out there.
    A few months back I wanted to migrate from vim to nvim and never managed to get anything working. I uninstalled everything, reinstalled nvim properly, followed the instructions, and now I have everything I wanted working. I might try this at work and forget all about my IDEs

    Stumbled upon this at 3am here. Been mostly a casual/enthusiast/noob programmer using vscode mostly, but was always curious about people who use vim/nvim as their IDE. Been too lazy to set up and configure myself, so this video and its associated script was great help.

    Few weeks back, when I was trying this out it didn't work in in my WSL ubuntu environment (turns out cmake was missing and neovim version was 0.7) and ended up following the Primagean's video. Today I just happened to configure this completely plus make changes according to my liking in Powershell (Windows 10)
    This is really life changing moment.. thanks a lot for the good work.

    That's awesome, I've had nvim installed here for a long while (like 2 years?) but didn't have the patience to set it up, this video did it for me. I set it up for Elixir, but it didn't work out of the box :( even after installing the Elixir-ls. Will look it up, but it was the push that I needed to change.

  • @ahmadkhatib3117
    @ahmadkhatib3117 Год назад

    I've been a vim purist for may years, insisting that I shouldn't allow myself these nice features in order to avoid dependence and non-portability when working on servers (you know, to debug in production) but I gave this setup a try and now I can't go back! Amazing video and nice config, it's not too daunting, neovim really makes these plugins feel native and fast!

  • @lastink444
    @lastink444 Год назад

  • @nickallbritton3796
    @nickallbritton3796 10 месяцев назад

    Thanks for your time and this is a great start. I've been using vim lightly for years, but now I'm setting up my new linux system and not planning on using an IDE primarily. I will say this is a great start for me as it gives me plenty of great features out of the box.
    But for some reason certain features (like gd and autocomplete) are not working properly at all for the first c++ project I opened up.
    gd does not jump to definition... it just seems to go to the previous occurrence of the variable name....
    like I said great start, though and I like the feel. I also love the fact that it recognized the git files in the folder automatically and tracks what branch I'm in. hope I can perfect this setup, because I'm liking it so far. better than vscode imo but i'm pretty terminal proficient already

    im brand new to vim and neovim. ive used eclipse, vscode, and now intellij. i want to use neovim not for speed but for consistency, if i know the ide like the back of my hand i dont have to worry about updates breaking things or being force to use another ide and learn from scratch. i really appreciate this video. the primeagen is just too advance in his tutorials i really like your pace. if felt like you held my hand

    @cuongvota7580 Год назад

    thanks a lot! I used to work on my own nvim config for a while but in the end I found astrovim and used there out of the box solution. Its really nice because it just works. But it was kinda difficult to configure it if you do not have enough lua skills to understand the whole structure of the config. I know it is more structured but I just get confused. With kickstarter I can start with an amazing environment while also having the simplicity of the one file config
