For windows, linux, and Mac users... if you want to open file from your "file explorer" in vim or nvim, you need to check out neovide. Sorry I didn't include that in the video, but a game changer for when you aren't in terminal and need that neovim hotness.

random thing that came to mind when mentioning differences between titus kickstart and standard: To perform a diff of the files and see the changes, all you need is "nvim -d file1 file2" to get a nice diff in split view. For total newbies, you can hop between different windows using Ctrl+w followed by the hjkl direction you want to go. When you get used to vim it becomes quite natural to have 4 or more splits this way.

The editor wars are a waste of time. One editor to rule them all is a fallacy. An editor is a tool and having more than one tool in your tool belt is completely normal. It is wise to become familiar with different tools because you never know when you will hit some obstacle and you are able to pull a rabbit out of your hat because you decided to use the right tool for the job at hand. I use a variety of editors depending on the work I am doing. Sometimes its just more appropriate to use Neovim. If I am coding Powershell, it will be VS Code. If it's a database, then JetBrains DataGrip. I happen to prefer Emacs as my primary editor because I use org-mode extensively all day long for organizing, taking engineering notes, writing documentation. The other advantages of Emacs are Tramp / Dired which can ssh to a host and allow one to edit files with or without su / sudo in an Emacs buffer. With Neovim / Tmux you don't have your dotfile configuration on the remote hosts. But with Emacs you are editing remote files locally. You always have your Emacs config for all your remote hosts. The remote hosts for cloud typically are minimized and missing vi / ViM / Neovim / nano, etc. Using Emacs, I don't need to worry about that.

@aleclowry7654 9 ай бұрын

Well you can use scp or sshfs for editing remote files locally. I have no experience with Emacs but I imagine it's doing similar under the hood

@RuiPalmeira 9 ай бұрын

very well put, to add, sometimes you have to remote into an unknown host or provide support to one physically, so you have to work with whatever said system has. you won't be able to install "your tool of choice" or pull any configs.

Anyway, it's really well put together "distro" of emacs that's still quite easy to customize. Great motion keys, magit, org-mode, etc. are just so good once you get comfortable with them and find the workflow that suits you.. highly recommend giving it an honest try :)

This is such a classic path... first one makes a neovim configuration from scratch which is a lot of work... then one realizes someone else did a better job such as kickstart so you start using that but it is still a lot of work... finally one jumps to a proper fully featured neovim configuration such as AstroNvim and you get rid of the maintenance burden.

Only works if the way it is setup is absolutely perfect for you, which can happen, but not the norm… I did the same rounds but after getting pissed with how distros set up stuff I used the 0 to LSP video from the Primeagen to build my config, now that I took the time to setup and understand everything already did some refactoring and switched to Lazy instead of packer and setup some other niceties on top.

I definitely need to go the same route as I did with MacVim, from scratch. Which sucks too, because of the time it'll take. I still haven't even re-built my Spacemacs environment after switching to Doom.

If you rather start using Helix (awesome vim alternative) instead of neovim you notice that you don't have to install plugins and also not config anything. All the best default are included and set up for you. You only need to make sure you have the language servers you need installed (if you haven't already). Command structure is not an afterthough and you don't need to figure them out yourself. The commands are beautifully structured and available from the start. And it is fast! Written in rust and scheme.

Tried to make kakoune work for me a few years ago, couldn’t get used to the motion before verb thing so Helix wouldn’t be for me, specially considering that it is its bespoke thing, not even 100 consistent with kakoune bindings. Seems like a lot of effort for such a niche inside a niche… Feels like a bad Neovim distro to me.

Your vim config will also work with nvim. However, if you have a working and effective vim config, thre's really no point in switching to nvim. The advantage you get might be little to none.

I wanted to try it out now as I am always confused by vim. Well, I am not a pro in Linux at all but have some VMs running and few 3dPrinters with Debian . On Debian 12, neovim 0.7.4 is in the repos. I tried the installation script and the first thing it says LUA requires neovim >0.8.0. That is very frustrating and the main reason why Linux is still not mainstream. Many things do not "just work". This is frustrating. Very often, trying somthing out "quickly" as I saw it in a youtube tutorial ends in hours of fiddling around with settings, dependencies and stuff. Windows, no matter which version, might not be as mighty as linux, or as fancy as Linux, but it "just works". As long as there are literally hundreds of different Linux distributions and each one does something different than the other, Linux will never gain big market shares and will stay a niche product. Linux distributions are not competing against Windows or MacOS, they are mainly competing against other Linux distributions. Sorry for this comment, but I got very frustrated at the moment.
