How To Use lazy.nvim For A Simple And Amazing Neovim Config

[@jackli5926]

I have used vim mode on vscode and the vanilla vim for two years. I never seen any videos that explain these concepts as clean&clear as you.

[@boy_deploy]

Informative and well presented! Awesome! Thank you so much!

[@joseanmartinez]

Really appreciate the feedback and your support! Thank you! Happy to hear you found it helpful!

[@justsomedo0d]

Such quality content on this channel, I’m absolutely blown away 😮 I’ve been working on my config for a couple months since starting my Neovim adventure and resources like this are invaluable to me 🙏

[@JefCollier]

Thanks to Josean, I may never be done tweaking my config. It's a curse. But I embrace it.

[@johnathanrhoades7751]

Just switched to lazy from packer this past weekend. Really excellent stuff!! Your tmux setup was so good.

[@iambrunocoelho]

Loved how you organize the folders so that it can make our life easier when installing and configuring plugins and nvim in general. Also, your pace is perfect for a newbie like me. Other creators are just too fast to keep up with.

[@worldxm]

Thank you for the detailed explanations of the lazy plugin manager. I was trying to make a fresh install of my Neovim without using a distribution (LazyVim). Your video helped me understand and better organize my plugins. Now I feel confident on making my custom setup without having unused plugins that comes with the Distro.

[@joseanmartinez]

Awesome!

[@zezinhun]

I was STRUGGLING to understad how to organize and set up the pluggins before this video. I finally inderstand how it works. TY SO MUCH!

[@talanb]

I love your thorough tutorials on nvim configs! I would definitely like to see an LSP-centric video showing all things LSP!

[@iatheman]

This is the best explanation of Lazy I've found. Awesome job!

[@CNich90]

You are a rockstar, this was exactly what I needed to get past the learning curve and setup lazy.nvim.

[@GavinTomlins]

Compliments to you, Josean, for providing an excellent blueprint on how tutorials should be written and presented. I found you to be articulate, the tutorial informative, well-structured and perfectly timed. I appreciate the extra effort you put into supplying sources for the content that you reference. Please share how you generate the keyboard overlay of your keystrokes in the bottom right. I hope people head over and buy you a coffee as a gesture of thanks for your effort. Enjoy

[@joseanmartinez]

I really appreciate that! Glad I could help and thank you for the support🙏🏽

[@slmdchampion]

I just wanted to drop you a quick comment to thank you for this video. I am switching from VScode to nvim, and I'm getting my setup tuned. Your explanations about how the plugins, options and the plugin.lua files work together and the lazy loading. It's helping me to understand how nvim configuration works so I can setup nvim for my uses. Cheers.

[@АлексейРябов-я8м]

now almost all my questions about lazy.vim are closed. Tank you, Josean. Keep going. (liked, subscribed)

[@ygvanz]

Great video. Will have this for future reference, also would like to see your video with your new lsp config.

[@ThisGuyRocksLikeCrazy]

Thank you for the video. I think your video is the most up-to-date video ever. There are not many videos on lazy.nvim. Your repo layout is also pretty neat. I was trying to use lazyvim is a reference, but that repo was really convoluted. Yours is simple and to the point. I really appreciate all your efforts in creating this.

[@3DCharacterArt]

I started with your previous "amazing" (packer) set up, and then hopped over here to continue without appending, a bit faster but I'm at the pink screen after typing :Lazy so doing ok thanks again ser

[@ClintonJames-h3i]

Enjoy your attention to detail with clear examples. Please do a LSP setup.

[@joseanmartinez]

Thanks! Here’s the LSP setup video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH2bdWt7oNWbi9k

[@sputnick1]

I love your channel. I love optimising my dev environment and i’ve been using packer since forever so this is exactly what i needed. Thanks for the help :)

[@joseanmartinez]

Awesome, really happy to hear that!

[@harleycoughlin8050]

Thanks for the guide. Finally was able to swap from packer to lazy

[@MORE2Clay]

yo thanks finally migrated everything to lazy - was absolutely worth it!

[@Aucacoyan]

Great video! Very nice and most important very thorough! The animations were also of really good quality. Keep it coming!

[@TheRuancarlo]

This one is the most helpful and actually teaching video on neovim plugins use, kudos!

[@joseanmartinez]

Happy to hear it was helpful! Thanks for the feedback.

[@StefanHerold-i5j]

I really like your videos about neovim! It helped me getting into it and flatten the curve. It would be super awesome if you could make a video about the ns-null replacement 👍

[@foxglenacres]

I just discovered this video and love it! The lazy package manager is great and your video lays out a configuration so well, i "took" a few ideas. :) You mentioned in the video, about lsp configuration, yes please! I am struggling with mason/lazy/lsp and confused.

[@vichl3853]

Awesome info in all the videos, I am new to nvim so all his videos has helped me a lot.

[@nullor]

perfect, just what I needed! most other tutorials are still using packer

[@joseanmartinez]

Awesome! Glad you found it helpful.

[@s8x.]

thanks for your videos. now i have done everything you have done in your videos

[@joseanmartinez]

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback 🙏🏽

[@FutanariNeko417]

Commenting for the algorithm, amazing tutorial, thank you!

[@ryohai2]

Thank you for your generious guide of giving a bunch of useful live example of using lazy.nvim. I'm recently using lazy and lost my self in the documentation. Your video just picks up the key points and has lightn me up. 😍Like to see more of this.

[@raynebenson9040]

great video man was stuck for days you helped me get unstuck thank you!

[@andriesvanwyk3226]

Brilliant, Josean. Thank you so much!

[@cr4zyg3n36]

Hi Josean I have a question, but don't expect an answer I I suppose you are very busy replying to many people, but the netrw when you open it has all the folders expanded I have set let g:netrw_liststyle = 3, but for some reason they don't automatically expand. Could you please shed some light on this please?

[@ErmandDurro]

As always great video. Thanks Josean 🙏

[@vaisakh_km]

That's the coolest way to see the updates.... it was really annoying to have long list of updates hiding my buffer... but i also don't want missing out of update for so long that when i update everything crashing all at once, so i need notification for increamentally fixing breaking changes

[@joseanmartinez]

Nice! Glad you found that helpful.

[@muhammadraza7231]

Thanks man for the detailed video about lazy and I like your videos just because your videos are very detailed. Thanks again! I subbed

[@StoneColdET_]

Glad to see this pop up in my feed!

[@joseanmartinez]

Awesome! Hope you enjoy it!

[@iantnotes3047]

Amazing guide! just a question, how did u set up that bottom status bar in iterm?

[@rlifts]

I see an issue with the config, since telescope is lazyloaded how do you go about seeing your keys like ff ? Im using LazyVim so it may be a different setup.I found out that in order to show the keys while loading lazy you have to put them in the keys = ...

[@NoctuaDeveloppement]

Hi, Amazing video ! It would be amazing to have a video to optimize LSP configuration by ourself. Because I work mostly on PHP and Laravel at work, and Python, Swift and Typescript for my personnal project. Thank's to you I have working configs but it's not really optimize. Thank for sharing great stuff!

[@joseanmartinez]

Cool! Appreciate the feedback, considering making a dedicated lsp video. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@diegoulloao]

15:10, for me is loaded when I open a .lua file, before the insert mode 🤔

[@nizardev]

thank you for amazing setup! love it.

[@amaraag9435]

Hi all? I installed Neovim 0.9 on my ubuntu mate. But ./config folder didn't exist. How I found those confguring files?

[@kristofferlindvall9285]

Hey! Any chance you know how to make sure pyright doesn't give "Unable to import..." warning? All the modules work and in vscode it does not give a warning. Thanks!

[@gueyenono]

You, sir, just got a new subscriber!

[@hassanmohammed2462]

i cant find the code for the one you mentioned you used previously for setting up the nvim-tree

[@a_maxed_out_handle_of_30_chars]

simple and to the point, thank you :)

[@vincecarpino]

Really enjoyed your thorough walkthrough last time! This one is just as clear and helpful, so thanks. Out of curiosity, is there a reason you have your files nested in the *josean* folder? Keep crushin it!

[@joseanmartinez]

Hey! Thanks, really appreciate it. I’m pretty sure I saw it as a convention in another setup and stuck with it, but if you prefer, you can probably do without it.

[@comfysage]

this convention is mainly to avoid name collisions between plugins and your configuration files

[@ikhlasulkamal5245]

Nice explanation dude, you just got a sub. Lookin forward for more great videos like this

[@joseanmartinez]

Awesome, appreciate it!

[@oskarkarlsson8905]

After copying ur telescope config from the git repo, i cant seem to get it to work. Maybe you could do a short vid explaining how to use it in the way u have it setup?

[@kamalkamals]

which app using to display keyboard key in the screen ?

[@EJIqpEP]

Hi Josean, can you tell how to work with Git please? Resolving conflicts in particular.

[@Zergeometer]

Hi Josean, thanks for the amazing content! I noticed that you changed toggle file tree keymap from leader-e to leader-e-e. Why?

[@christianarzu]

I guess that it's because you want to have multiple tile tree mappings, ee ef ec er, otherwise you could only have 1, which is the toggle with `e` I also added `keymap.set("n", "es", "NvimTreeFocus", { desc = "Focus on the tree" }) -- Focus on the tree` To send focus back to the tree if I open the wrong file

[@christianarzu]

Just realized I can move between nvim tree and my code on the right using regular vim motions, but pressing ctrl `ctrl+h` and `ctrl+l`

[@joseanmartinez]

Yep! It was because I needed more keymaps for it, like opening the file tree but in the location of the current file I’m in with “ef”. And yes! You can use ctrl+l and ctrl+h if you’re using vim-tmux-navigator like me as the tree is just another split!

[@JonathanMorrisMusic]

Found your channel a few weeks ago and been loving your Neovim content. Would love to see a video with your thoughts on null-ls.nvim and typescript.nvim alternatives. Keep up the great work!

[@joseanmartinez]

Awesome! Really appreciate it. Thanks for the feedback, will be looking into that.

[@MarkStrus]

@joseanmartinez I am very interested in this too. I use neovim for work and both null-ls and typescript.nvim are plugins I use. I often work with typescript. Also this was a great video. I see your config has changed a lot since your video to set up neovim. THe configuration looks interesting and I'm planning to switch mine up in a similar way once I get lazy.nvim installed. Thanks for the great content. These videos really help me to understand how neovim works as well as a lot of the plugins I use.

[@pierre-malan]

This setup is great. luv your work. I just struggle to get my null-ls to work correctly with mason. but the rest is perfect

[@Hacking-Life]

Thanks for this video Josean!

[@joseanmartinez]

Awesome! Glad to hear it was helpful.

[@adulate]

02:19 how did you jump directly to that? For a complete noob watching your video that makes absolutely no sense. The assumption is that you have a bare metal nvim set up and you are building stuff from scratch.

[@Rundik]

When I last tried vim/nvim it was slower than sublime text. Is it better now?

[@sa27ph]

Thank you so much for this tutorial!

[@lpanebr]

Yes, do the lsp video. Thanks!

[@joseanmartinez]

Working on it! Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you for exploring a great developer experience for us! I've made split keyboard and learning vim for work and it inspiring me for new horizons. Good job!

Hi, I basically imported your profile and it's awesome. But I am unsure how to add plugins. Specifically I am trying to install 'neorg'. Could you please advise?

[@cheddikiravu3556]

Everything worked for me (except the icon colors) until the beginning of packer. I'm glad Lazy came along. Do you recommend deleting all previous packer-based configurations on Neovim before migrating them to Lazy?

[@Linuxdirk]

... so maybe I should tinker with my config again now 😉👍

[@jawuku3885]

Thanks for the video! I'd love to learn how to set up lsp and linting / formatting.

[@Brandon-th9pi]

Hey Josean, Is prettier formatting your typescript code? I'm noticing lua works but anytime I save typescript/js files don't format.

[@joseanmartinez]

Hey! Not sure why that might be happening. Prettier is formatting my typescript code properly. I'd make sure you have the prettier formatter installed with Mason and check that it's listed as a source for null-ls.

[@chandebrec5856]

Anyone know the purpose of the josean directory under the lua directory? That is, why not put core, lazy.lua, and plugins directly in nvim/lua/ ?

[@chandebrec5856]

Answering my own question.... because if lazy.lua is directly in nvim/lua, the "require('lazy')' in lazy.lua will have a name conflict with the lazy-nivim plugin (which has been prepended to the rtp). Another solution to this conflict would be to put lazy.lua into core, have the top-level init.lua just require("core"), and have core's init.lua require("lazy").

[@voiceoftreason1760]

why is it called a plugin manager if you still have to edit the configuration file to add or remove plugins? there is no menu to add or remove plugins? seems it is more like a plugin install and update utility

Great vid. Any reason as to why you are no longer using lsp saga for your lsp buffers?

[@joseanmartinez]

Thanks! I just wanted something a bit simpler and felt like I didn’t really need it. I’m using a mixture of telescope and the built in lsp related functionality. It’s really a matter of preference.

[@danko-8229]

love the vid, btw what font are you using, looks so good

[@joseanmartinez]

Hey! Thanks! I’m using MesloLG Nerd Font. You can find the list here: www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads

[@Demoscene0x0801]

I had to explicitly replace all key occurrences with otherwise the shortcuts do not work for me e.g. "leader e e". Ventura 13.6 (Intel)

[@shrewd7795]

You have to define your leader key before lazy. So it doesnt mess up

[@Demoscene0x0801]

​@@shrewd7795 I see (I might have not noticed that information before) thanks for pointing it out.

[@msp99000]

bro which font do you use? I use Meslo LGS which is good but it has some icons like Find File, Text etc missing

[@joseanmartinez]

Hey! I was using Meslo LGS up until recently and I also realized it was missing some icons, I went to the nerd fonts website and installed the latest “MesloLG Nerd Font” and set my terminal font to “MeloLGS Nerd Font Mono”. That should get you those icons you’re missing. Hope that helps!

[@msp99000]

@@joseanmartinez Thanks for the reply. I reinstalled both Meslo LGS Mono and MesloLGS The Mono font icons are too small in iTerm2. However, what I noticed is that the problem is with iTerm2 itself I guess. I fixed the issue by manually copy pasting same icons and passing into "opts" parameter and it seems to work just fine

Lazy installed, re-sourcing is not supported Ok, I finally managed to convert from Packer to Lazy as the nvim plug-in manager following this guide and using your .config files. For my workflow, I need to use the vimtex and luasnips plugins as well. I also added the flash.nvim plug-in by Folke. Lazy is great. Everything is working. However, I have an error at the bottom: Re-sourcing your config is not supported with lazy.nvim Is this something I should worry about? What does this error mean?

[@EliteTester]

it means you're sourcing your config again after it's been sourced once, which is not supported

[@CyperN077]

Do I need a lazy plugin manager for plugins? I prefer loading them all upfront rather than needing to load them when required, like having bullets ready in a gunfight. Exellent video...
