Great setup. Thanks for sharing. I use vim for everything I can.

[@JousefM]

Long break Phil, glad to see you back in action. Hope you're doing great mate!

[@mikhailkhlyzov6205]

I like Vim aswell exactly for the portability and minimalism reasons. I also happen to use Spyder for its ability to modify methods of existing python objects w/o the need to rerun all the code.

[@TonyGonzales]

Very helpful for those of us jumping into the deep end, better to learn something once.

[@patmower46]

Thanks....loved this. Still use sublime text at times, but usually VIM for EVERYTHING!

[@zakariaabderrahmanesadelao3048]

hello Sir! just subbed, seems like you have got a lot of knowledge to share. We appreciate that.

[@esanchez8277]

Hey Phil, given your experience in the semiconductor space. Would you ever come back to the area with the chips act passing?

[@PerEng2405]

To the point. Brilliant.

[@first-thoughtgiver-of-will2456]

Vscode has a pretty good remote extension that runs everything on the ssh machine and setups up a dot file on the external machine with extensions etc. All being offloaded to the remote machine. I like Vim too but wanted to make sure you knew about this.

[@yskim69]

you saved my time. thanks

[@bidossessi]

VSCode's remote extension will disconnect from your _LOCAL_ VM if you lose internet. That's a pretty frustrating experience, and the very reason why I'm even looking at this video right now. So yeah.

[@muhammadahmadkhalid364]

Can you show us to install it on windows 10 and how to get the hovering box that shows the parameters of a function in Vim?

[@FuZZbaLLbee]

Is there also a plug-in for navigating to the original function when you are at a line where free function is used Also does it have some file tree view Lastly I also need a good side by side visual comparison of the original file and the edited file. Working directly on the sever does indeed have its benefits

[@RyanWAFFELYoung]

movement in vim is kind of its key thing. probably the quickest would be just to put your cursor on the free function name and it "#" which treats it like a tag and will jump to the next match. there's a file tree built in to vim with the command :Vexplore. Although I think most people use the NERDtree plugin. In my .vimrc I have `:nnoremap ex :Vexplore:vertical resize 20:set winfixwidth` using a leader key(mine is comma) to quickly open the built in explorer. can also replace everything after "ex" to just ":NERDtree" to quickly open that instead. So just type ",ex" and the tree opens with vim installed you also get vimdiff. you run it from the commandline. "vimdiff file1.py file2.py"

[@limitless1692]

I use vim-plug as my Plugin manager, it is very light weight :) Cool video, and I learned something that I didn't know from your .vimrc Thank You for sharing :)

[@py-zc1vv]

THANK you, SIRE. Just small quick question - How did you get the "SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING" right out of the box, without ever doing anything? What am i missing here?

[@abbaraphael2930]

Hey Phil, great explanations. Could you share the github links you used.

[@markadyash]

Hi its been long seeing you Phil if possible can you make frequent content on RL

[@MachineLearningwithPhil]

I'm working on it! Thanks for tuning in Yash.

[@qrockz007]

what's your workflow executing python code? Do you use ipython and connect vim to it so that yout can execute python code within vim but but without losing focus on vim?

[@MachineLearningwithPhil]

Nope, I just exit vim and run python from the terminal.

[@MachineLearningwithPhil]

Although this sounds like a good idea. I shall look into it, thanks.

[@qrockz007]

@@MachineLearningwithPhil So for example if u have 2 Monitors i think it's possible to use one mointor for vim programming and the other monitor running an ipython console in a terminal. There is a vim plugin vim-ipython. "[...]Using this plugin, you can send lines or whole files for IPython to execute[...]You can also send whole files to IPython's %run magic using " Would be nice if you can dig into it and give me/us an update.

[@MachineLearningwithPhil]

Thank you, I will look into it!

[@tmendoza6]

love Vim

[@aelinwhitehorn3526]

the line numbers did not show up and the code is correct?

[@electric_sand]

Yay! Phil!

[@vip-cw1st]

Welcome back

[@mikylekruger4000]

I’m gonna ditch vscode because this looks great and minimal.

[@craigdanielmaceacher]

Don't use Vundle in 2002, just use native packages support or minpac or even vim-plug

[@MachineLearningwithPhil]

Thanks for the heads up

[@bobingstern4448]

What happened to the GPU giveaway?

[@MachineLearningwithPhil]

Winners were notified via email - I didn't make a follow up video. You can find the code I used to generate the winners here: github.com/philtabor/KZbin-Code-Repository/blob/master/giveaway_scrubbed.py

[@frenchmike]

vscode let's you ssh it to remote machines.

[@Cmdrlucky8]

I've been thoroughly won over. Bye, VS Code
