#72Support for inlay LSP hints is the big one for me here. That’s mainly what’s kept me from switching over from vim so far.
How does it keep you from switching from vim when vim does not have it?

#73Neovim is great and is my daily driver for a couple of years now. I was really looking forward to 0.10 because the roadmap said "multicursor", and that's the only thing that sometimes make me open Sublime Text, but it seems like it was more complex to implement than originally estimated and so it was now pushed to 0.12 ( https://neovim.io/roadmap/ ).
Noticed this also. Truly the only reason I still open up vscode. And repo find / replace. Otherwise Switched to nvim full time about 5 months ago, can do everything and more ha

#74As a decade long vim user, I just gave nvim a try this year, and I really wanted to like it.
In most every way it is a straight upgrade, but I find myself kind of bummed out that it is still so barebones on install. Really, I was hoping that something like Lazyvim would be the default because I would love a more "out-of-the-box" solution. I don't want to have to worry about keeping the LSP etc. up to date.
So instead, I've been looking more into Helix. Still not sold on the bindings, but what you get just by installing it is great.

#75Wow, I love that so much stuff is coming to core! Every once in a while for the last few years I overhaul my Neovim config and try to add all the new goodies (commenting, LSP, etc., that are table stakes for most IDEs) as plugins using the latest and greatest plugin manager. That works for a while, but like clockwork, something breaks- a plugin updates incompatibly, Neovim updates incompatibly, an external binary the…
Have you tried using an nvim distribution? They take care of all the plugin loading, config and testing. They stay reasonably updated too.
I think they are a good middle ground, but you're still left with some of the busy work. Further, you're a bit more at the mercy of the maintainer. Likely, Lazyvim isn't going anywhere, but it isn't out of the realm of possibilities either.

#76I have been transitioning my workflow from macOS to Linux. Discovered it’s kind of pain in the ass to get a gui based editor like Intellij to work correctly, especially within a VM. Happened to have discovered neovim, and so far it’s been a delight to use. Much faster and much lighter on resource use. Do any neovim veterans have recommendations on plugins to enable? Or even hidden features that would improve workflow…
I'm doing the same on an old macbook. Off topic, but any idea on how you remap command + left/right? On a mac it is the equivalent of Home and End. I tried xmodmap but it doesn't seem to work with those types of combinations... but maybe I'm missing something obvious?

you should use neovim distributions like LazyVim.

My vim config is generated by nix, if I don’t break it, it does not break.

I used to want multicursor as well. But I heard a recommendation that multicursor is not "the vim way", and instead to use macros or regex search-and-replace or visual-block mode. That's worked for me.
Of course multicursor must be commonly requested for a reason. Just passing along some alternatives.

#80When I first started to learn how to program I was following along a basic tutorial by Jeffrey Way and his first sentence was "We're going to use vim." That tutorial, whose topic I can't even remember now, set me on a path for my professional career. During 2012-2015 there seemed to be way more competition in the editor space before VS Code gobbled the community mindshare. I remember starting my first professional jo…

I like this origin story.
In my case, I was already a decent programmer and beginner UNIX admin when I got my first job, and one day I was using nano or some other "friendly" editor to edit some files on a server, when the literal grey-beard senior sysadmin that was looking over my shoulder pulled a face and said "OK, it's time you learn how to use vim", and spent some time teaching me the basics of it.
Now I have surpassed the Master and I use Emacs, though vim is still my second favorite editor.
