In the last few articles, I commented on why I adopted Neovim as my main editor and went through the basics for using the program. However, it does...

Great post, so simple and helped a lot! thank you!
I'd like to add a tip regarding nerd fonts for the complete linux beginners like me.
If you have GNOME then probably you are using
gnome-terminallike me and it didn't find the fonts after installing them.One work-around is to install gnome-tweaks
sudo apt install gnome-tweaksThen run it with the same name
gnome-tweaks, and go to the fonts tab, then set the "system mono" (or something like that :D ) to the nerd font you downloadedNow in the gnome-terminal preferences, uncheck the "custom font" box.
And after a day of struggling, it works :D
Well at least for me on Pop!_os 21.10
Hope this helps :D
Thanks a lot, Khaled!
If Gnome shipped with Tweaks already installed, stuff would be much easier for beginners. I don't know the reason behind it... Maybe they don't want you tweaking stuff by default...
Anyway... Enjoy your setup!
This is an excelent guide, I have tweaked everything, but thanks to you I have configured nvim for first time! I always get overwhelmed with bad tutorials out there and you give me all knowledge to understand how init.vim works. Thanks bro
Thanks, this helped me get my
airlineandNerdTREEto be a bit nicer looking!Nice!
Thank you! It helped a lot!
This config is what I searched for a long time, minimalist an efficient. Thank you very much !!
This is an awesome post. And nice setup.
I do feel the need to defend lua a little bit here. After version 0.5 the lua api got better.
I'd say there is no need to learn everything about lua. Knowing just the most basic things can get you far.
Here's a simple lua config if anyone is curious.
For a config full of hacks and shenanigans here is mine: link.
I didn't mean to criticize Lua... It's a good language and I wish it gets more popular.
But for my simple goals I think it is a bit overkill. As I said, the setup should work on both Vim and Neovim, and that wouldn't be possible with Lua, as Vim doesn't support it.
Don't worry, I don't have any emotional attachment to lua. Was just trying to say a lua config doesn't have to be complex.
Hey man, thanks for this amazing and helpful post.
I was having a hard time configuring my NeoVim to fit my needs.
I use NeoVim for JavaScript development and you have helped me set it up.
Thanks a lot, once again and keep up the great work.
Nice! I'm glad it was helpful!
Very good setup and very well explained. +1
Thanks a lot!
