This is gold. The floundering about to find some functionality that makes sense to you is such a refreshing take on people who just know(or maybe practiced prior) where to look. Definitely relate to your style

[@dfinlen]

Yeah there is way too much of that. Fish programmer, I flounder my way to something working.

[@SeantheSkater96]

Very refreshing to see a programming video that actually shows the real process (research, trial and error etc) rather than just reading from a script and retyping some code that's on another screen. Would love to see more content like this

[@bashbunni]

Ah thank youuu ❤ I really enjoyed making this so will definitely be making more

[@brunomello7499]

This actually really inspired me to look more into contributing to open source. I already have the mentality of just looking for specific stuff in a code base and have no trouble finding myself in large code bases, but I only did like two open source contributions because I would only contribute when it was something that I found by myself. I never really considered looking into the issues of repos that I enjoy

[@sp3ctum]

Love it! OS work can be a lot of fun. Catppuccin is such a satisfying theme. I set it everywhere, including neovim, lazygit, yazi, presenterm, delta, starship, wezterm, bat... It's like a frenzy 😄

Thank you for this! I'm as green of a dev as you can get, and at the risk of being crucified and exiled I will admit that I've used nothing but vscode. But you're inspiring me to branch out a bit lol

[@bashbunni]

I think most of the functionality I used for navigating code in Neovim exists in IDEs as well! I have no idea what the shortcuts would be, but you’d be looking for: go to definition, get references, search (one that uses ripgrep under the hood ideally), and workspace diagnostics. I hope that helps! Happy coding 😊

[@headlights-go-up]

@@bashbunni oh okay, cool! thanks for the heads up

[@theodorealenas3171]

If I understand, in fact, a specialized IDE will have superior search. It would index the project, and cache what it found for later searches. I think they index on start-up and that's why start-up takes a while.

[@Tarexant]

What plugin do you use to show the movement keys in nvim? Or is this something to do with gocovsh? @5:55

I got a ertho split keyboard about a month ago and am struggling so much to get back to where I was in terms of productivity that I often give up and switch over to my normal tkl setup. It's nice to have coffee in the middle and good for my posture but def gonna need to remap all my neovim stuff and potentially reprogram my layout.

[@bashbunni]

Ahh I need to get my nail extensions removed before I can make any proper decisions around what needs to change. It's almost impossible to touch type with long nails since you can't actually feel where you are on the mech keyboard, so not ideal. I was feeling better with it after my 12 hour interpreter stream though!

it been so long since you upload a video, i don't remember what Neovim tips i have posted, but here are 2 in case one is a repost. 1st when you are in insert mode, you can use ctrl-r to paste from a reg. and if you want the primary you use " so ctrl-r " this is really nice with the .(dot) command, as you can change in word and type some paste then type more then you can redo many times. 2nt if you use the multi cursor in other editors then you got some thing better on vim, it is the cgn command, you start my searching for something(if you want a word then use *) then use cgn(change go next?) and type the new text, then you can use n or N to search for next/prev. and then .(dot) to change and go next, easy 2 keys n and . hope it help and there you go, a tip for a video as promise

she was in ThePrimeagen's livestream a few days ago here

[@zeocamo]

@@kj-marslander that don't count, as the deal is videos on KZbin, not CNN or BBC on KZbin. it was to help her make videos as she wanted to make more videos. ohh and Welcome as you must be new here.

[@theodorealenas3171]

Yes! I'd add, you can Ctrl R in command mode too. And in search mode. You can see where this is useful right? Just be mindful when you paste a dot or slash in the search.

[@pedrolobo9835]

May I suggest a video? Explain how to configure Neovim for Java development. It is not a trivial task and many give up. I was stuck for a long time, until I got it. I could do it, but I'm not a KZbinr or English speaker.

[@neilclay5835]

This is very good - I like the approach and the method used. The thing is, if you go back and read the original TDD work and philosophy, and also later blog posts of Kent Beck et al., full code coverage isn't considered to be a good idea because you're testing implementation and not just results. This makes refactoring more difficult because when you change the implementation method you have to change the tests as well, and the original idea was to never change the tests. Tests should only cover the interfaces between systems - i.e. test the contract of each system in relation to another. Now, I'm quite old and maybe you bright kids (not being patronising!) have figured out a lot since then, or maybe I'm not understanding what full code coverage is considered to be these days, but there is also that chance that actually there's a lot of time being wasted on making sure you have full code coverage. Group think might be in effect here? I don't know, but worth investigating I think. Best wishes to you.

@@bashbunni I've seen those crop up a lot lately. Looks alright. I think your joints will thank you much later on. :) Oh I noticed when you rename variables at 8:00 you could instead just use ct (change 'til, is how I remember it) and then the capital C in Color which would remove everything from your cursor to the character you specify. so PrimaryColor, put marker at P as in Primary then use the motion ctC (C as in the capitalized Color) it is pretty awesome when you have camelCase or PascalCase words.

It has made me way faster and more excited to write code.

If you haven't seen it there is a setting in nvim for always having the sign column on. This makes it so that when errors appear the sign column doesn't pop in and out. It can be kinda jarring. I definitely like having it always on. vim.opt.signcolumn = "yes"
