Neovim Config - Part 1 - Lazy Vim 

as an Amazon Prime member and Neo from The Matrix enjoyer I am leaving a comment of absolutely no value, total waste of time writing it and for anyone reading it. I just don’t get a lot of opportunities to let people know I have Amazon Prime and its a flex

@@TDOLLA Clearly, your opinion will be better than the above's fellow.

i already have a pretty good idea what is happening in my head AND part 2 where i reorganize my lazy vim gets REALLY good. its going to be a nice repo :)

the only benefit to switching to lazy.nvim from something like packer/vundle is improved startup times due to lazy loading. you have to configure it to do so though, like only loading certain plugins on certain filetypes, only loading things like an lsp on bufenter, etc. if you just do the basic config, there isn't that much to gain other than organization and stuff

I was blown away by lazy startup time improvement, from 500ms to 50ms without any manual optimizations

​@@wi1hEh, you can probably set most of your plugins to VeryLazy and call it a day. Now your nvim starts instantly and if something doesn't work just remove the lazy bit from it. That's a lazy way to do it

I use vscode just because of copilot and copilot chat and copilot in their cli ...if there is something like this in vim I'll gladly make the move completely

Something like what cursor editor is doing

looks like Kinesis Advantage360

the rest will be up over the next couple days

I’m pretty sure you can pin plugins in Plug too

@@ZombieLincoln666 that's not the same, you don't have to version pin the exact version of the plug-in but more a rule in which stability (majority level) you want to follow the updates of that specific plugin. The lock file is then updated on each update you trigger and gives you the possibility to restore your exact configuration if something goes wrong if you version control it.

@@ak2f oh ok gotcha. That makes it easier. But still just pointing out that you can do similar with vim-plug with a bit more effort.

@@ZombieLincoln666 fair point

Ikr, I've been wondering the same. ThePrimeagen, ThePrimeTime, TheVimaegen. how many more are there don't know..

Use visual mode if you want visual confirmation - for example, instead of typing yiw to yank a word, type viwy. Honestly though, you'll intuitively know what the commands do pretty quickly

not yet, will have a repo shortly

i have been taking it out for a bit making sure i like it i have a few more things i want to add, going to get those in before i release it fully as its own github

Ah I see, I’ll be on the lookout for that! Btw appreciering all the great content, keep it up :)

Folke has been on vacation for 3 months now and nothing is being merged or worked on. It feels like LazyVim has been abandoned which is really unfortunate. He really needs to add some collaborators.

setting up completion was so much more annoying before LSP though. There were so many options

I’m sure you can fix that. I believe it has to do with unix vs ms-dos formatting. something like ‘set ff = dos’

as a beginner, yes - but the rest u will just click through

@@cosname Wydm? I use nvim for about 3 months now constantly. Learned the best shortcuts and tips from theprimeagen and others, using most commonly used addons and I can say editing can be a bit faster in nvim but because of how clunky of an editor it is and it doesn't matter how much we use an editor we sometimes make mistakes and clicking ANY button in nvim you didn't want to click means big mistake and few more undos or a bit of realizing wtf u did makes it so that it's not really faster. In the other corner we have vscode which doesn't have my most commonly used in nvim jumping between words, f or / which i really love in nvim it has out of the box quality of life type of shit and really if you've used it for few years like me it really has some depth in it and really cool shortcuts that are ACTUALLY INTUITIVE unlike in nvim. Oh and ctrl+d and multiple cursors are a lot of times much faster and intuitive than any sophisticated regex in nvim and much much more. (actually I saw a lot of blogs crying about how ctrl+d and multiple cursors are useless and nvim searching is better but after fiddling with multiple examples and best practices of nvim "gurus" I still think ctrl+d and multicursors are better)

The terminal is going through tmux. There’s a key shortcut to go into selection mode

i don't like fancy neovims
