Giving another chance to Neovim
Trying out vim one more time, this time I have witnessed what it can do.
Last updated on JULY 07, 2024
I have tried Vim and Neovim before, but I failed terribly-or better would be to say that I lost interest in learning because the vim motions were difficult. However, now that I've just booted Ubuntu on my PC again, I feel compelled to try Vim again, this time I get a feeling that I would do better simply because I have learnt more Vim motions and they have proven to be really productive.
Now, I need to learn more about configuration and tuning the editor to give more of an IDE vibe. This includes setting up LSPs, NERDtrees, fuzzy finders and more. I already have installed couple of plugins like - Telescrope( fuzzy finder), Gruvbox (colorscheme) and I am using Lazy.nvim as the package manager now; previously I used Packer, which got all the work done and is quite similar to Lazy.nvim. However, I am liking lazy more because I find the installation of new plugins easier with it.
Now, you may ask, Saurabh why do you think that this time would be any different than the last time- so I would tell you this, I can just feel it. And to give you a little more proof, I already have created a Dotfile repo to store all my configuration. Although, there is not much in this repo yet, but I am just getting started. Overtime, I am pretty sure I would have more complex configuration and highly tuned to my own preference, perhaps then I can say that I use vim btw. I soon plan to write a blog about explaining my configuration and how you can make similar setup with minimal configuration. Typecraft, Primeagen and TJ's tutorials helped me a lot, in understanding and configuring the individual components of Neovim.
- Thank You. See you later alligator.
