Learn Neovim (nvim)
Neovim is a fork of vim which integrates LSP client and lua api for configuration and plugin creation.
With the help of the lua integration, nvim's amazing community created a diverse plugin ecosystem which feels designed right, robust, scalable and replaceable.
Great, you can skip half the guide :)
Read Chapter 8 - Personal Config vs Preconfigured Configuration go back to Chapter 2 and then skip to Chapter 8 - Basic Lua.
I started to use nvim in early 2022 after using sublime for about 6 years, I felt sublime was left behind pluginwise and it's not really competing with the features VSCode had to offer, I tried to use VSCode and after a week I understood it's not fitting for me, as it forced me to use my mouse more than often. I decided to give nvim a try, and it ended up as the best decision I made.
I didn't understand where to start from, should I learn vim first? how do I configure nvim? which plugins from the many many plugins do I need to use?
I wanted to make a guide that covers the basics of vim, gives the tools to learn vim (the fishing rod instead of the fish), and one that helps you to configure nvim.
