This video should be at the top of the list when you search for vim editor. It's infinitely better than the other videos with how you go through the explanations, your speed of communication, and examples provided
I was completly wrong thinking " I need to add a lot of plugins in to my Vim". You confirmed it, with simply vanilla Vim and the 7 minutes of this video I'm a better Vim user with only a few commands, thanks a lot
@@madghostek3026 The next step is compiling your own with some tweaked options. I enable mouse functionality, the system clipboard and a few embedded languages. It is immensely useful to be able to scroll with a mouse when you don't quite know what you're looking for, and being able to click to focus once you've found it is great too. The number of times I've needed to paste a URL into a document has me wondering why every distro I've used doesn't enable the system clipboard for Vim.
Dude these are so goated I've been using vim for like 4 years by now and half the stuff you outlined here I did like a caveman by hand. These are so great because I didn't even know vim could do this, so I assumed. dggL
Fantastic channel covering really interesting topics! The videos are concise, to the point and easy to follow. You show off good practises too (like reading the man pages and emphasising that this isn’t production code) Perfect channel for someone looking to get into low level stuff! So excited that it’s growing and that I discovered it! Keep it up man 👍
I feel like unless I'm tourtured I'll never be in a position where i want to forego a modern ide for vim. But the skill-cap sure looks higher on vim ill give ytou that
Although you use Window, your setup is weirdly shaped around tools that are famous for Linux users, have you ever encountered a problem where the cause was that the tool being mainly made for *nix instead of Windows?
Not something major, I can recall two main things that I remember, first is a Windows specific bug on Vim that I discovered when looking at the issues on Github in which it traversed the directory tree in a very inefficient way so it sometimes took way too long to expand recursive file paths, and this was fun since in the end I decided to submit a pull request to fix this code in Vim, and the code in that area indeed looked like it wasn't touched in quite a while. Second thing that I have encountered was a missing feature in kdenlive (which I use to edit videos), in which the screen recording cannot record sound, but in the end this is not a problem for me, since I started using OBS Studio to record my screen.
Talk more about lsp and how to configure include paths for clangd. I know about compile_flags.txt but is there an easier way without using cmake to generate a complie_commands.json?
I have a video on that on my playlist "Vim Tips", I mostly like using tags, I find them to be a very nice and minimalist way to navigate source code :)
@@nirlichtman Oh, I can install it, but I mean how to configure and have a plugin manager on windows, I want to add langue server to my Vim. I have watched your video about it but it seems you did it on Linux.
@@nirlichtman Another problem is that when I use VSCode, there is a file explorer tab that I can move, change, delete files, how to do the same thing in Vim?
