I've been using Vim daily for 13 years and switched to NeoVim about a year of two ago. For me the main advantages over Vim are just the Lua scripting instead of Vimscript, its support for language servers, and better handling of terminals windows running inside Vim. However, I do still run visual studio in parallel for debugging. It's basically essential when dealing with console game development.

I found DAP neat enough for interactive debugging (when logging is not enough). But I only used DAP under Neovim to debug Python.

Honestly, same. I did naturally start to pick up things such as c(code actions) and some git related helpers. But gets you 90% of the way there with / navigation. Also just use the mouse! Lazyvim has great support for it. SK is your friend as well.

Remember that ` SK` does not show neovim built ins. Example ctrl-o which moves to older jumplist position is not show in it. I'd also suggest kickstart.nvim over Lazyvim as its leaner with a primary file for configuration it is not lacking power.

Unfortunately kickstart.nvim is no longer actively maintained.

Always interesting when a project stays 0 ver for so long- anyone close to the project know what would be considered significant enough for a "v1" release?

Possibly never: https://0ver.org/

I don't really get the point of this. If the 0 never changes to anything else, then effectively it serves no purpose and shouldn't exist. Some people even refer to software that way. Sometimes something like React 0.82 might be just called "React 82", and effectively it's 82.X in practice.

I've found Neovim to be remarkably stable, even when building from main.

You haven't been using the LSP API then. There have also been multiple breaking changes over the last five years, including breaking compatibility with established default vim keybindings.

A documented breaking change does not mean the application is unstable.

The Neovim developers have been extremely clear that part of the process of getting to 1.0 is finalising the API, and that there will be breaking changes en-route.

Ok, this sounds awesome, but do you miss the GUI integrations? like , being able to pop a document open in your editor from the desktop? It just feels like it's hard to nail down your preferred workflow / setup ... but it's likely worth it if you're using it daily! Are there any good visual or video demos of using this type of setup? I'm having trouble picturing what makes people really love this type of TUI-only wor…

In Neovim, most non-toy language servers allow you to open the doc/definition in a popup/floating window, typically bound to `K`. Some language servers like rust-analyzer and gopls also support opening the docs in your browser.

I use Emacs and opening a new file is just pressing “C-x C-f” (find-file), typing the path (completion is available), and pressing enter. As for vim, I would spawn a new terminal (WM keybind, new tab, new pane with tmux), cd to the directory and open it with vim. The nice thing is that I rely only on the keyboard, no need to point with the mouse. It may not be faster, but typing is sequential and there’s no context s…

Upgrading from 0.11 was relatively painless, except for nvim-treesitter, which pretty much became a new plugin. The previous version lives in the master branch, but doesn't support 0.12 at all, so you need to use the main branch when updating. Most of the previous features are replicable with new code, except for incremental selection. treesitter-modules[1] serves as a good bridge between old and new APIs. [1] https:…

Incremental selection is available by default in Nvim 0.12, see `:help v_in`.

Yes, I found out about that after my comment. It's a little unfortunate that I need to remap `van` itself instead of a function/command, but it works, and there's a PR to expose the function publicly.

Note that this might conflict with some text-object plugins, such as mini.ai, which define an/in by default.

any chance you have a key sequence mapping that starts with esc? sounds like its waiting to see if you are gonna be pressing another key before timing out and do its thing

It happens randomly, which makes me think it's a bug.

Is anyone using them vim with Claude or any of these coding tools? I want to, but I haven’t found a good workflow.

What I do is use 'C-z' and 'fg' to suspend and resume my editor when I need.

Pressing C-z on neovim puts me back in the terminal so I can do whatever I need to do and when that is done I just type 'fg' in the terminal and it opens up my neovim again, exactly as it was.
