attention with the mappings. make sure you use the right one for the purpose, otherwise you overwrite more default commands than you wanted to. :map :noremap :unmap Normal, Visual, Select, Operator-pending :nmap :nnoremap :nunmap Normal :vmap :vnoremap :vunmap Visual and Select :smap :snoremap :sunmap Select :xmap :xnoremap :xunmap Visual :omap :onoremap :ounmap Operator-pending :map! :noremap! :unmap! Insert and Command-line :imap :inoremap :iunmap Insert :lmap :lnoremap :lunmap Insert, Command-line, Lang-Arg :cmap :cnoremap :cunmap Command-line :tmap :tnoremap :tunmap Terminal-Job

If you're working directly on your init.vim file, you don't need to keep closing/opening vim. You can just do :so% so == source % == current file

legitimately a great video showing some realworld vim use and customization. Nice job end I hope to see more.

I think you can do "map :Goyo" to not have :Goyo show up

Great video. to go back to the previous line and column in the file. Was quite painful to see you scrolling through the config 😅

make more, nice one! love it, nice explanations, just what I needed.

Thanks for the Lex command, I was looking for a way to make netrw a fixed column size. I changed this command to `nnoremap n :Le :if &ft == "netrw" vertical resize 30 endif ` because it also resized the file window with multiple splits

The config file location reason actually makes a lot of sense to me. Being able to just clone a config into .config/nvim/ makes all the difference. If you feel irelevant for this, know that what prevents me from switching to NeoVim is that I prefer Vim's icon to NVim's. And.. "Vim" sounds better. Right? welp

@Macr good video, I kind of use vimium extension for browser as well. if anyone is looking something like that.

That scrolloff 999 keeps you cursor on the middle of the screen 😀Great video!

Thanks for this type of videos, I learn a lot.

I found that though you mapped for reload, actually you quit and reopen to make it work lol.

Man, hearing your explanation of the line numbers just had me going, "...wtf?".

you are awesome 💗

You can move your .vimrc file to wherever you like. Just define VIMINIT in your .bashrc to tell it where it lives. To move the .viminfo, define it in the .vimrc. Example for .vimrc in your .bashrc: export VIMINIT="source ~/.config/.vim/.vimrc" Example for .viminfo in .vimrc: set viminfo+=n~/.config/.vim/.viminfo

TIL about :move 22:55. Thanks!

26:20 scrolloff specifies how close the cursorline can get to the edge of the buffer before scrolling. In your config, scrolloff=999 kept the cursorline in the center of the buffer (except when you're at the top or bottom of the buffer... I think).

Well recently NeoVim is developing a native LSP client. So that would be a unique feature :)

as for me, neovim doesn't work with the standard input/output correctly when running !commands ie bypass write protection via :w !sudo tee % doesn't work on neovim as you can't type anything when sudo requires you to type your password edit: spelling error

Hey, very nice video. Took up a lot of things from here. Just one small thing, I also use a shortcut for reloading the init.vim file every time I make changes (because I'm too lazy to quit and open up a nvim instance again), I use this mapping: nmap :w :source ~/.config/nvim/init.vim I just noticed that you were not saving the file before the source. Hence, probably it was not reloading the changes instantly. I saw you remove that command as but you can try using this if you want. Great video by the way! Thanks!

6:12 correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t “set nu rnu” the exact same thing as “set number relativenumber?” I think you put them both in by mistake 😅

That was cool

Amazing video! This answers many questions I’ve been having. What window manager are you using? And how do you achieve what seems to be a tiling window layout?

on a mac, they're still on vim7 so installing neovim and aliasing would keep you from having to build vim8 from source with all the pluggins or installing macvim .

what is "Ovtober"? Given a date, is that date equally distributed amongst all the days of the week? If not, why not, and how can I graph that distribution? Are there particular dates that are say, more likely to be a Friday, or a Sunday? Calendars are weird.

Hey there, nice video. I am new programmer who recently switched to vim from vscode to save some RAM on my cheap hardware :) I think neovim is leading in feratures at the moment with added LSP (language server protocol) support.

You Seem a profession editor/AE artist

great video! thanks a lot. Would it be possible to make a video on making certain configurations on init.vim trigger based on different file types?

Great videos! i have one question, how do you configure ur macOs so that there is no title bar on the Alacritty terminal? Thanks!

Switching because neovim stores config in .config?? Wat. Well, just so you know, neovim has builtin lsp and also can use tree-sitter in the nightly build (v0.5). It also has gO to pull up an "overview" in the quickfix. But yes, vim 8.2 and neovim are quite similar otherwise.

Hi Makc, may i know what's the cool 'vf' alias that you used to view files like Explorer?

Thanks for the video. How are you autohiding the window buttons/decorations on macos? cheers

Great video, I would love to know the name of that color scheme :D

What desktop environment are you using? I am just curious since it looks like you are using i3 or sway on mac...

6:57 noemoji fix the 2x char for emoji so the cursor don't f*** up after a emoji

Rad vid What are you using to open and close the browser like that? I'm guessing that you are using a hotkey, but what is that wizardry?

Why did you quit using NERDTree instead of the native finder? I was using Vimfiler for a while (opens by keying `~` by default), but I went back to NERDTree and it's actively developed.

Muito obrigado, me ajudou muito!

here i am watching this seriously and absorbing everything when suddenly "DEE DEE MEGA DOO DOO". I lost my shit. thanks. now let me go replace my drink.

Hi the link of wallpaper is broken can you give me a new link?

Woah woah woah. There is a big difference between Vim and Neovim. Why is it so heavy otherwise? Neovim ships with an entire LuaJIT. You can write your plugins/ modifications in lua instead of vimlang, although vimlang works too. Neovim also has an API so other programs can interact with it. I am running a grammar check plugin which checks English grammar using Java when I am writing my emails in Neovim. Can't do that in Vim.

What is the vf app? Have you seen ranger? I have gruvbox working well in it. Also pygments and scope. Can share if you like.

Totally unrelated, but how did you remove the titlebar from qutebrowser? The only way I know of is by putting c.window.hide_decorations=True in the config.py file, but then I can't move or resize the window.

this is really good since it is a mess to navigate others people config files and trying to figure out what they do. as a newbie coming from sublime i do need some help.

@MAKC and what's your conclusion about 'relative number'? :)

You don't move lines by deleting and pasting them where you need them? I also find myself using J to join lines together a lot so I wouldn't overwrite that one.

Hi, what's your terminal application? Are you using Tmux?

How does he do that at 0:46? What is that? I watch other vim users do that as well??

What it that vf program? I was unable to find it in the repo. And the browser too

Line numbers and the ruler are not the same piece of information in two places.

If neovim doesn't add features over vim, how comes it does have 20MiB more?

the way hide the title bar of app in mac plz.

Can you please tell me which browser you are using?

Hi what font are you using?

What's the font you're using?

Hi, i install neovim but when run has error: zsh: command not found: nvim. Can you help me? Sorry my eng not good.

there is a feature on nvim that doesnt exist in vim: native lsp in HEAD nvim

How did you tweak your Mac setup to look like i3?

what browser do you use?

what terminal you are using?

What browser do you use

what coloscheme is that?

You left all your plugins in the folder ~/.vim/plugged

I know many differences between vim and neovim. e.g. Lua, asynchronous or, in 0.5, Lsp Support and Tree Sitter

nvim has popups vim doesn't !

NVim - is the thing in itself. As long as it open source, it has very low quality support for web programming. I would never choose it as standalone IDE. I wish to but I can't.

neovim will be bloated junkware...keep it simple and use vim and setup a personal config.

highlight paragraph lol... it's made for highlighting code... it highlights everything ... empty lines are indicators basicly. well whitespace essentially... I was about to comment, that ur plug list gives me ocd... that why the fuck you dont have co c , git, fugitive, fzf, sneak and some other stuff.. but u sayd in the video that ur not actually a coder, but writing a lot in vim... what you are writing about then? blogs? bookS?
