Neovim

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.

I was recently watching a tsoding stream when he was singing huge praises for the compilation mode in emacs, so I created a plug in to do essentially the same thing in neovim. Feel free to test it and share feedback.

What's your keymapping organization strategy (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I decided I was ready to move on from distributions like LunarVim and based my config on kickstart.nvim. I've fixed it up a lot with additional stuff for me and I'm mostly pretty happy with it. The default keymappings aren't my favorite though. No shade on the kickstart team, they just don't fit the way I think.

I'm trying to decide what a good organization strategy might be. What keymappings strategies are out there to get some organization or intuitive groupings?

Why would/wouldn’t you switch to a modern IDE like Visual Studio/VS Code if given the decision right now? (sopuli.xyz)

out of curiousity, since I feel like most of the time I touch any vi derivative it’s because I need a text editor on a command line, not because I really really wanna use it

neovim surround plugins require too many keystrokes (lemmy.world)

I’ve tried all the surround plugins but what I really want is just the simple flow of: make a selection -> press “, ( etc to surround. Is that not possible with vim?
