Neovim

1726 readers

Neovim is a modal text editor forked off of Vim in 2014. Being modal means that you do not simply type text on screen, but the behavior and functionality of the editor changes entirely depending on the mode.

The most common and most used mode, the "normal mode" for Neovim is to essentially turn your keyboard in to hotkeys with which you can navigate and manipulate text. Several modes exist, but two other most common ones are "insert mode" where you type in text directly as if it was a traditional text editor, and "visual mode" where you select text.

Neovim seeks to enable further community participation in its development and to make drastic changes without turning it in to something that is "not Vim". Neovim also seeks to enable embedding the editor within GUI applications.

Weekly dotfile review? (sh.itjust.works)

What does everyone think about doing a weekly dotfile review thread like r/neovim does.

I personally really like to see different neovim configurations that other people have made.

Edit: my config

Edit 2: I also think that if we are to do these, they should be done on the weekends, since that is the time when people aren't busy with their jobs or school.

I don't have any online repo that people can use, but I have this post on my home instance where go over some plugins I use too much and additionally I have the following settings to make vim livable for me:

set smartindent
set autoindent
set noshowmode
set laststatus=0
set background=dark
set nu
set scrolloff=99999
set sidescrolloff=99999
set splitbelow
set splitright
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set noexpandtab
set nowrap
set cursorline cursorcolumn
set clipboard=unnamedplus
set termguicolors
set colorcolumn=80
set timeoutlen=500

the rest is mainly plugin and filetype configuration which mainly revolves around setting up LSP and resolving some key conflicts as well as making sure CoQ is loaded up as that this is a masterpiece even without LSP ~~(think of CoC; but actually responsive on anything older than a 12th gen CPU)~~
