Hi Reddit, As my school-funded GitHub education pack is about to expire, I have to let go of the InitelliJ IDEs and I decided to sell my soul and use NeoVim. I am already using Ubuntu after all, so why not continue the 10x cargo culting? I soon realized that NeoVim is hard. I keep on forgetting how to do things. I figured the best course of action to take would be to start a project that I am writing entirely with us…

> I soon realized that NeoVim is hard. I keep on forgetting how to do things. Please don't take it in a bad way, but I suspect you don't really grok Vi[0]. Vi/ViM/NeoVim is a language for text manipulation. If you keep thinking in terms of "a bunch of shortcuts" you will have a pretty bad time with this editor. For example, in your cheatsheet 'gg' and 'dd' are presented in the same way. Sure, both are commands in the…

Hey! I think you are absolutely right, thank you for noting this! I already realized that having an understanding of the "subcommands" is what will lead me to success, as they are also easier to remember, because from a "combo" they will become understandble bits. I actually plan on writing "breakdown" for these compound entries so I (and others) can also grok vi 8) Well... eventually :D

Nice reference. I think the layout could stand to be more compact and fit more keys on the screen. Also don't forget to add in the excellent vim-surround for editing braces and parentheses, I was pleasantly surprised to find it installed by default in the VSCode vim plugin, not that I stuck with VSCode but it was worth trying out. >> decided to sell my soul and use NeoVim If you really wanted to make a deal with the…

Thank you for the feedback! I'll definitely experience with the layout and also with the contrast on the page. Thank you for the suggestion, I was already looking for an extension like so!

I'll take a look on the Evil mode... Should I be scared? :D

Nice work ! The nice thing with neovim is that people got together to make Neovim distributions. I'd recommend starting with one and you will learn by tuning it to your preferences because if you have to get some work done, this will take a lot of your time imho. I still use vanilla vim + ALE linter + ctags + makefiles for simple C/C++ projects but once you start to get into webdev with ten different syntaxes and too…

Hey! Thank you! I actually wanted to start out with NvChad but then I became quickly overwhelmed with how many things are added that I do not know of. I also do not mind configuring nvim for hours, it's like tuning your car, the process is the hobby, not the result! I also found that I can incrementally then understand each added plugin and I am also more aware what is part of the config. But it's worth noting what you say about the webdev part... let's see if I can keep up :D

Nice work! A useful one you’re missing is `set list` which shows whitespace characters. The main thing I use it for is checking whether indentation is tabs or spaces (or an unfortunate mix of both).

Thank you! Hah, cool! I'll defo use/add this later!

The free version of the IntelliJ IDEs are reasonably good, at least if you are using one of the languages that the free versions support.

Actually I have not even seen the free versions yet as I was always priviliged with the paid ones by my school. I do not think I'll check them out though, already invested time in configuring and you know... sunk cost fallacy :D

I am actually working on a project called vimgolf.ai, where I am looking at giving users the ability to practice these commands. Right now, only have a few levels, but looking at expanding to account for 80% of the commands used on a daily basis. If anybody's interested, please check out. Though please be aware at this time, the site does crash from time to time. Still working on scaling the nvim instances across nodes.

Had a play with this - good idea, well executed and I'll return when you've got more levels!

There is a built in help pages for every default mapping, e.g :help v_CTRL-A Web version: https://neovim.io/doc/user/change.html#change.txt

Hey! Thank you, I know of this! I am actually thinking of displaying on the website how to access the command from the :help, for people (and myself, haha) to get used to using that.
