I LOVE that this video is in a more calm tempo, and you can follow mistakes happening. That really helps understanding this on a better level. Thank you!
Yes, I overlooked it the first time and I was baffled that I could not grep a string in the project. Then I dropped nvim and went back to my default IDE. That was stupid.
Been learning Vim for a week, and so far it's been such a blast. Love the keybindings. I went with NvChad to reduce the necessity for configs, and this series couldn't come at a more perfect time ! Thank you =)
@@AdityaRajSingh-xy6gt depends. If you just want to get things out of the box : go for NvChad. If you want to actually understand how configuration in Neovim work, make a config yourself
Just wanted to say that I'm so thankful for your explanations on everything. I am new to neovim and every other configuration video does not go into nearly as much detail. Thank you so much, man!
This was a fabulous introduction. I've been using neovim for a while, but this walk through really helped me better understand what everything is. My lua file is now quite a bit smaller and I am a lot happier! :)
I love NeoVim, please make episode for Java configuration, it is very hard to me to make it work for Lombok and UnitTesting I would switch from IntelliJ if those features could work properly on NeoVim.
Hey, so I want to save you some time because I’ve been wondering the same thing and shopping around on forums, Reddit, RUclips, etc. there is just no way unless you’re going to spend an absurd amount of time to get even remotely the same functionality as IntelliJ. Trust me, I’ve tried. And even if you wanted to just use it for Java, it’s still not even good enough in my opinion, especially when you have something like IntelliJ to compare it to. Don’t let what I’m saying stop you, but I think it’s gonna have to take some kind of change in technology or maybe the advancement of AI or something because for right now it just takes way too much work configuration and having to deal with a lot of annoyances to use Neovim and proper Java development.
@@tomiyokasensei thank you for your advice, actually I use Intellij, but i'm some cases I switch to Neovim sometimes simply because I like it more, also the use of terminal commands instead of a GUI keeps my mind agile. I use Intellij only for Java, like Linux user and frontend developer or kubernetes all my work has to do with terminal, tmux and vim/neovim.
@@DanielZapata-jv4uxcame here to say this. You're 100% correct. Save yourself the time and don't try. You can get LSP and basic stuff working, but you are not going to recreate IntelliJ. Personally, I don't find that's the end of the world. Not having certain things has a way of making you reassess whether you really need it. In some cases, you just reached for stuff because it was there. Or, there's some other workflow you can adjust to that accomplishes the same thing. I have IntelliJ installed and open it occasionally for Kotlin stuff, though in my case it's more for completely proprietary stuff that IntelliJ provides, such as generating OpenAPI spec for a given Ktor application.
Outstanding! As a longtime vim user (almost chose eMacs 20 years year) I am super happy to find your channel. Wonderful explanations! I wish I had something similar back in the day. Cheers and I’ll be coming back for more!
actually so friggin helpful. trying to configure kickstart fried my brain till i saw this. highest quality stuff, genuinely oddly low subscriber count... imma recommend this vid to people if they ask me "how is this idiot using neovim?" which is a question I've already gotten a number of times.
Great video! One suggestion to add to your notes: for live grep to work, ripgrep is required. I wouldn't have known where to look if you had not provided so many great links. Thank you very much.
For anyone who also has this issue (like I did) another way to find the right place to look is to run ":checkhealth telescope" after installing. This works with other packages as well.
I would like to say a big "THANK YOU" to you. This is a great video. I'm working as a programmer and from my perspective, I do not have the right understanding what is actually happening when using Eclipse and all other tools provided by my company. So I started a side project with C++ and I'm using NEOVIM so far. Everything that has to be done is done manually or by scripts written by myself. This isn't as productive as it could be for now, but it feels good to know what happening at all time. This workflow helps me to develop a far more in-depth understanding of what I am doing. So, I enjoy your setup, and I'm already excited for episode two.
I really hope there's more courses like this which shows instant result in what we are learning . Most of the time i can't visualize the thing i learn and what its true purpose are . Great video. Need more of your videos !
This video helped me start using Neovim. First time I installed nvim I was confused and simply uninstalled it and continued using vim. Also appreciate the style of the presenter which is unlike some rambling nvim videos out there.
15:33 I know you want to keep it simple, but it shouldn't be wrong: 1. No, a parser gives you the AST. 2. Treesitter gives you a concrete syntax tree. 3. Your example with symbols is the lexer's job, a parser uses a grammar based on those tokens.
Hey man, you are really good in making such a complicated subject easy. Was blindly following others' config and then I bumped into your videos. Now I have a better grasp of the entire thing. Thanks a lot!!
I've been thinking about moving away from LazyVim and customising my config a but more to my liking, this is the perfect push! Looking forward to the rest of the episodes! Hopefully I'll have something ready over the holiday break
Love the structure, pace, and teaching style of your videos. I was determined to learn neovim over the weekend and I found myself just copying other youtuber's dotfiles and not really understanding how things were working under the hood. I decided to start over with your tutorial and do things slowly to learn from the feedback loop for each plugin added. Thanks for taking the time to make this series.
Telescope for sure. I mean you can't live without treesitter or package manager too, but telescope is so fast and showing code preview is done the best way possible. Telescope is what I miss in VSCode.
I really loved the video; it was super helpful! I just started playing around with Neovim a few days ago, and it was all so confusing. But your explanation was so clear that now when I check out the lua.init file (I now get why it's called "lua.init" and why it's supposed to be in the ~/config/nvim folder), I understand most of it. Thanks a bunch! Excited for the upcoming episodes in the series!
just learn neovim, and this is the only guide that really works.. some other create over complicated setup that causing more confusion than help. thank you.
I was about to write a lengthy text about how great this video is. But sadly, this textarea does not have vim motions 😂 As someone who never used vim prior to NeoVim, which I started 6 months ago. I can tell that a lot of the things you covered here isn't new to me. But they weren't crystal clear. And I can tell they are now. Thank you very much.
Thank you, this looks very promising. I can't wait for the next parts of your tutorial. I've always struggled with neovim, but finally, I can become 'hackerman' 😁
Thanks man for taking the time to explain what each config and plugins do. All other tutorials out there is trying to a speedrun as if everyone already knows what all those configs and plugins are!
Coming from VS Code, the switch to Neovim was awfully confusing - this series helped me switch. Can't wait for debuggers -- and maybe how to use Github Copilot or other AI tools? 🙏 Also, I joined the Typecraft Gang! Glad to be here.
Thank you, like many others, I found this to be a very well detailed and informative guide to configuring nVim. I have successfully configured nVim for a 50+ user system that will be used to teach C++.
Bro... Thank you so much. I was struggling to setup nvim since I'm still new to it. Every tutorial I've seen before are either too complicated or they don't explain anything, just straight up puts random codes in the editor (random for me at least). Again, thank you!!
Wao, What a video it is. Man this is the best video, I've seen explaining about nvim configs like in this easy to digest manner, every other video felt so dens. Couldn't keep up as a beginner to nvim. Thanks
Thanks. This kind of explanation I have been looking for so long I tried Neovim many times, installed tired configured and waist lots of times, again and again, coz it attracted me to use and do programing in this kind of editor. thanks a lot, Finally I understood what and where need to configure. 👌👌👌👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏🙏
Glad to hear that you found the series helpful. Neovim can be a bit of a challenge to get configured just right, but once you do, it's a powerful tool. Keep at it!
Very informative thank you very much. One suggestion I could make would be to include links to the specific github repository mentioned, obviously I can google them but it would rule if I could just open all of them at once from the description of the video
Hi, I just discovered your channel. Thank you for this amazing tutorial. The ecosystem is overwhelming to make the jump from vim inside vscode to a neovim that behaves like an ide. Now only do I understand HOW better but WHY. I’m forever grateful and I can’t wait for future episodes!
Thanks for this man, my goal is to have a dope neovim setup that I fully understand and wrote from scratch. I have played around with LazyVim and LunarVim but I don't understand how to change keymaps and all that. I use vim every day inside vscode and can't imagine ever getting away from it. Looking forward to more episodes!
Awesome and helpful content, amazing voice and speech, and remarkable music in the background! Thanks a lot, man! It's just great content to watch and study! Please, don't stop =)
ahh thanks a ton sir, i dont know how to thank u enough for it, just follow his commands step by step guys , u will have no errors , he is too good with what he does
Wow.. ive been trying to migrate to neovim and everything out there is not good. This is by far the best intro I have seen and I actually have a neovim setup now. Thanks!
Hey there! 🌟 I'm super thrilled to hear that our neovim guide hit the spot for you! Migrating to neovim can feel like jumping into a pool of cool, but slightly intimidating tech-water. Glad we could turn that into a smooth swim for you. 🏊♂️💻 If you've got any more questions or need tips on fine-tuning your setup, feel free to drop them here.
Thanks a lot for the great video. For once someone is going line by line and explaining what's going on. A simple request, if that's alright, in the series please show how to setup a dev environment for Python where we can create, change, etc between different conda environments, and even more complicated that I have not been able to find is a way to interact or use Jupyter Notebooks in Nvim. ❤
Thanks for putting this together fellow, it helped me to wrap my head around customizing nvim, which I am totally new. (I have used vi from time to time for some quick little tweaks). So this was cool.
I'm migrating my classic vim setup over to neovim & lua and this series has been very useful. Thanks!. One slight wrinkle I've run across is that nvim-treesitter has a hard dependency on a c / c++ compiler being present otherwise it vomits error messages when it starts. In my case I'm using an immutable linux with containerised developer environments so there's no dev tooling in the host system. Consequently I've skipped nvim-treesitter.
It'd be interesting if you would do a "new to NeoVim" video too. I don't use it, but I'm interested in why people like it so much and wonder if I should try it. Maybe you could explain why you find it so good, digging into some of the useful features etc?
Hi! I'm beginner with Neovim and your video helped me a lot! I'll be watching your next videos for sure, can't miss it :) I have just a suggestion, you might want to use some sort of an app to show your keystrokes, this actually helps a lot, but just if you want!
Great tutorial! To just save people 30 minutes of their lives - using the default terminal on mac won't work for catppuccin, something to do with color limitations, just fyi.
Just a note as a Windows user: after installing neovim, I also installed Git for Windows. I had to install ripgrep for Telescope. And when I installed Tree-sitter, I also had to see the instructions on Tree Sitter's page about installing C and Cpp compilers for Windows (Mingw in my case, or LLVM). Maybe this extra info for Windows users will help someone else.
To add on, probably best to follow the lazy.nvim installation guide on treesitter and instead of adding the configs normally, might want to start off with this require("lazy").setup({{ "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter", build = ":TSUpdate", config = function () local configs = require("nvim-treesitter.configs") configs.setup({ ensure_installed = { "c", "lua", "vim", "vimdoc", "query", "elixir", "heex", "javascript", "html" }, sync_install = false, highlight = { enable = true }, indent = { enable = true }, }) end }}) I think for windows users having vimdoc could be useful for the parsers, but I'm not that sure.
Recommendation: 1- the command from nvim is down to the left so youtube toolbar blocks the comannds (maybe move a little the scrren to the top), 2 maybe is more usefull if you show the keys typed in the screen.
I have no idea if this will help anyone, but I had an issue where telescope would give me an error if I included the keybinding BEFORE the theme setup command thing. Moving the keybind after fixed it.
Great series. Hope you can continue to show to install the core main plugins. Also if you can add LSP for Golang and Python, that will be great. I actually gave up neovim watching other videos, by watching you slowly progress the config, I want to give it another shot. Thanks again for putting this together.
OMG. Thank you for this easy to understand nvim setup! I tried to follow TJ and Prime's setup but they went to fast without really explaining anything. Unfortunately this didn't give me much hope to start learning vim . I haven't even finished the video I'm at the part were we just installed catppuccin. :O Thank YOU
This is the first nvim setup video where I actually understand what's going on. Thank you 😊
Happy to hear that! My goal was to make it understandable
hahah, true
this is so true 🤣
exactly, others are just - do this, do that, and then boom.
I LOVE that this video is in a more calm tempo, and you can follow mistakes happening. That really helps understanding this on a better level. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
It's worth mentioning that you need to have ripgrep installed if you want to use the find grep command
Yep, I was just about to write the same comment.
to install in windowes
choco install ripgrep
Yes, I overlooked it the first time and I was baffled that I could not grep a string in the project. Then I dropped nvim and went back to my default IDE. That was stupid.
Thanks for the reply, "pacman -Syu ripgrep" for Arch based distros.
Been learning Vim for a week, and so far it's been such a blast. Love the keybindings.
I went with NvChad to reduce the necessity for configs, and this series couldn't come at a more perfect time ! Thank you =)
hey should i go with nvim chad or config my own nvim ?
@@AdityaRajSingh-xy6gt depends. If you just want to get things out of the box : go for NvChad. If you want to actually understand how configuration in Neovim work, make a config yourself

Excellent tutorial! If telescope's grep command isn't working for anyone here, make sure you have the system package "ripgrep" installed on your os :)
yes! I forgot I already had that installed great callout
^^^^^^^^^^^^
THIS
Oh God, Thank U
Thanks!
Thanksss
This was a fabulous introduction. I've been using neovim for a while, but this walk through really helped me better understand what everything is.
My lua file is now quite a bit smaller and I am a lot happier! :)
Nice!!!
You just cannot imagine how overwhelmed i was when first learning, this video is the only one that i can understand
I am loving this series because you are also telling why and how and now i understand what i am doing instead of just copying and pasting.
I love NeoVim, please make episode for Java configuration, it is very hard to me to make it work for Lombok and UnitTesting I would switch from IntelliJ if those features could work properly on NeoVim.

For Java, you should stick to intellij, trust me … you will spend more time getting small things working in nvim than actually doing your work .

10/10 for leaving the little mistakes here and there in the final video
Coming from webstorm, that "record macro" trick at ~6:00 felt like a kick to the face, comprehension wise. All three times I re-watched it.

Thanks for this! I found your explanations informative easy to follow. Looking forward to part 2
what is your favorite neovim plugin?
Telescope for sure. I mean you can't live without treesitter or package manager too, but telescope is so fast and showing code preview is done the best way possible. Telescope is what I miss in VSCode.
No bias at all but Catppuccin has to be my favourite plugin. (I'm a Catppuccin maintainer)
Thank you. The most important is not see the things works but know how it works.
Finally! Someone who can explain this clearly !
Amazing

This helped me so much. Thank you for the series! Only note I might add is that I needed to add ripgrep for the telescope live grep to work.
the best tutorial on nvim and its setup.... You should create a paid course. Your teaching style is so amazing

To add on, probably best to follow the lazy.nvim installation guide on treesitter and instead of adding the configs normally, might want to start off with this
require("lazy").setup({{
"nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
build = ":TSUpdate",
config = function ()
local configs = require("nvim-treesitter.configs")
configs.setup({
ensure_installed = { "c", "lua", "vim", "vimdoc", "query", "elixir", "heex", "javascript", "html" },
sync_install = false,
highlight = { enable = true },
indent = { enable = true },
})
end
}})
I think for windows users having vimdoc could be useful for the parsers, but I'm not that sure.
big huge thank you for such professional and quality content. absolute hero 🎉😊
Make sure you are using a terminal that can support colour schemes - unlike the default mac terminal. A mistake I made :)
we need episode 2 right now
the best setup tutorial out there.
that was great !!!!!!!!!!! jumping into the next episode - really fantastic learning experience. THank you !
That is what I was looking for...thank you for the easy and understandable approach in this video, help me a lot.
this is what I was waiting for, thank you :)
eagerly waiting for future episodes. 👍👍👍
Recommendation: 1- the command from nvim is down to the left so youtube toolbar blocks the comannds (maybe move a little the scrren to the top), 2 maybe is more usefull if you show the keys typed in the screen.
I like Primagen content but this course is better for understanding than his course on frontendmasters so far.
Thanks for the great feedback!!
I have no idea if this will help anyone, but I had an issue where telescope would give me an error if I included the keybinding BEFORE the theme setup command thing. Moving the keybind after fixed it.
Great series. Hope you can continue to show to install the core main plugins. Also if you can add LSP for Golang and Python, that will be great. I actually gave up neovim watching other videos, by watching you slowly progress the config, I want to give it another shot. Thanks again for putting this together.
Awesome I’m glad it’s helping you out. I’ll be sure to do an episode setting up some of the most popular languages (python and go included)
This is freaking awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for very useful guide. I use Windows 11, so it required additional steps for me to make it work without errors.
after following the Catppuccin color scheme theme setup, my background theme turns Teal. Any help is appreciated :)
I had the same issue using the default mac terminal. I had to switch over to using iterm 2 to get the colors to apply properly.
OMG. Thank you for this easy to understand nvim setup! I tried to follow TJ and Prime's setup but they went to fast without really explaining anything. Unfortunately this didn't give me much hope to start learning vim . I haven't even finished the video I'm at the part were we just installed catppuccin. :O Thank YOU
