Chris thank you so much, honestly wanted to start with neovim for a really long time now, but kept destroying my config and not being able to make it to work. But this video series really awesome. And the way that you explain everything and not just like here, take my config.

[@BromanThings]

For anyone who had trouble installing the suggested '9mm/vim-closer' extension along side Chris at 17:03, the error you received is because the repo owner's alias changed from '9mm' changed to 'rstacruz'. So to get this working, you'd want your line to read as: use 'rstacruz/vim-closer' I'm sure most people trying to use neovim are familiar enough with these kinds of concepts to catch this issue, but neovim can be a treacherous hill to climb for those who are newer. So it's worth a mention if it helps someone :)

[@alexwakeup7098]

Thanks again, my lua config is going so well and all thanks to your repository and this video series!

[@arlaxia]

This series is amazing, thank you so much for it!

[@xt8382]

Thanks!

[@vigneshdharuman14]

Thanks a loooot bro

[@ricardorien]

You are a hero.

[@alexanderkorshkov1904]

Thank you very much! Very nice lesson. Now a question. It seems really strange that one have to install differently those plugins which require lazy-loading and those which do not. Isn't it up to a plugin itself to decide when it is really required to load it's code?

[@uu1368]

Thank you for this series. BTW, what keyboard are you using??

[@chrisatmachine]

keychron k3, brown switches

[@uu1368]

Thank you.

[@mezdelex]

I like using Windows and I really would like to integrate Neovim config into Windows Terminal but as a Neovim newbie that only knows about it from the videos he has watched, I was afraid it would take too long to make stuff work the way I'm used to in VSCode. With all your explanations, I might start migrating slowly. Thank you sir.

[@NaethliN]

Quick question, how come the markdown-preview plugin installs in opt, without us specifying opt=true?

[@khk2024]

What are the nerd fonts needed? I've installed Hack but still get some weired icons.

[@krithickumar6360]

what keyboard are you using?

[@hanspetervollhorst1]

for this video a few more `pwd` would be helpful. I got lost quite often as to where we currently are. also the key-tracker was not running here. nontheless really appreciate the series

[@nikhiljohnjose6739]

Hmm so I was installing the TabNine plugin.. I added the line use {"tzachar/cmp-tabnine", run="./install.sh", requires="hrsh7th/nvim-cmp"} as shown in the github repo in the plugins.lua file... when I save the file there are no errors.. but when I open a file it says at the bottom cmp-tabnine: Cannot find installed TabNine. Please run install.sh can anyone help me out with this? Also :PackerInstall cmp-tabnine shows failed to install

[@babitasaha6655]

did you find the fix?

[@user-xd5gd4pc9h]

Great video, I config my neovim base on this repo, too. I install ropevim plugin for the python code refactor. But, this plugin can not be auto-loaded, I have to find the plugin file which is python_ropevim.vim in the ropevim/ftplugin folder and source it manually to make neovim find the rope related commands. Do you have any suggestion to solve this? Thx!

[@user-xd5gd4pc9h]

It seems that if I put the copy ftplugin to plugin folder, this just work again. I just wonder why?

[@user-xd5gd4pc9h]

I figure it out. I add "ft=python" option in plugin config file and it works for python file correctly. I have little knowledge about this. Thx!

[@256k_]

man i really hope you could help me out, but i'm having a lot of problems, i've spent daying trying to convert my vimscript to lua script and everytime i start doing plugin stuff i just gets completely rekt. something as simple as a theme like nightfox when i install it in vim script it wowrks fine but with packer it gives me errors, same with nerdtree, with plenary, wtih most packages actually. i tried deleted the compiled file, i many times deleted the .local files. but it just keep giving me weird errors that seem to come from the actual package code itself I have no clue what to do.

[@256k_]

I finally found a fix! it was related to CRLF vs LF handling on the part of git in my cli i set git config --global core.autocrlf false and it works! (i was using WSL for anyone in the same scenario)

[@Torvating]

Can someone give me a suggestion ? How should I install a python plugin? I would love to use nvim and work with python(autocomplete for functions and methods)

[@chrisatmachine]

Maybe Pyright? I would sugges my video on LSP

[@Torvating]

@@chrisatmachine yeah … right after me asking that I found out that you were using LSP :P it was a dummy question sry. Btw I watched all ur videos about the series. Nice work broh :) Can you just do me a favor and tell me how can I use TAB to select the suggestion that is giving to me instead of jump to next suggestion? (Auto completion )

[@user-qv5bo7xi9m]

How can you split the windows to show different apps?

[@somedude7624]

search for tiling window manager

[@girirajrdx7277]

I couldn’t see any Plugin directory in tree structure of /.config/nvim What i am missing?

[@yankee-in-london]

it's not in the `~/.config/` directory, it's in the `~/.local/` directory ... at least typically

[@girirajrdx7277]

My current neovim version is 0.6.1 How to update to 0.8 as itis requesting us to do for proper working of crrtain plugins?

[@itsmimic007]

What OS are you using?

[@roblegaspi7819]

Mate I love your setup which is why I used it. But now when I try to setup it again It gives me plenty of errors. Do you have any idea why this happens now?

[@roblegaspi7819]

autocomplete not working, autopairing not working, and etc

[@chrisatmachine]

yea, the ecosystem kinda did a rugpull since this series, I have to go back and update a few plugins.

[@roblegaspi7819]

@@chrisatmachine Looking forward to use it again. Thank you so much

[@TheBest-sd2qf]

It's difficult to know which directory you're in when your path is always "chris@machine" in your terminal, important when most of the video is about the directory structure of nvim.
