Ah! Never heard about it.
Great post mate! Have you tried neovim configs like lunar vim? I personally love it
No, I have not but I just searched and it looks great. Thanks for the suggestion!
Did you mean, "comprehension"?
I like neovim as well, but some of the points you make are a bit confusing. Why do you think
telescopeis better thanfzf? You say:But
fzfdoes that as well, all out-the-box!Yeah, I meant "comprehension" instead of "compression" but auto-suggest did it's thing. Thanks for pointing that out! You're right that fzf also allows searching for files and text patterns. However, I prefer Telescope because it offers an enhanced user experience wwith other Neovim features.
Great post! I still use vim only semi-regularly so I stick to the OG but now I understand more why so many people like neovim specifically
Trust me, it's worth the hype!
I use vi still (usually vim in the background I guess, I dunno, I just type
vi file) out of habit (I belong to that generation that was using line editors before vi came along, just after the card reader generation).But this made smile:
Not least because I used to agree, and that indeed accounted for a fair deal of my vi use. But still, for at least a decade I'd guess I would have written your note more like this:
sshfs is a dream come true. If I have ssh access, I can access the remote filesystem locally and use local (read, GUI) tools. Pufff, there went a lot of the vi use cases right there. In practice I use my desktop file browser (Nemo usually) and whatever IDEs or editors suit the task and are available to me.
One other point: while very extensible, both Vim and Neovim (usually executed as nvim) are extremely fast and efficient if you run them 100% stock. While still effective, as you increase the number of add-ons, it stands to reason that resource usage increases, though never to the extent of a heavy Web browser!
