I finally switched from VSCode To Neovim

[@Sharpedge8]

How major switching to a new editor is something only coders can understand 😂😂

[@samarnagar9699]

Aren't codes only those who use these editors

[@afsalmuhammed4239]

not all coders can understand that

[@sudoalex]

This is awesome Ed! I've been wanting to switch to nvim the last couple months but been hesitant. Now your experience makes me wanna do it even more :) Thanks for keeping making videos

[@learnwithtjay]

Keep in mind learning vim/nvim will take some time, but once mastered it will safe you allot of time!

[@sudoalex]

@learnwithtjay yeaah that's the reason why I've been hesitant to make it my IDE even tho I literally use vim everyday at work lol Btw I've heard combining nvim with tmux results in an even better experience

[@learnwithtjay]

@@sudoalex yes nvim and tmux is a very good combo, especially when you use ssh.

[@developedbyed]

Thank you everyone for another great year here on yotuube, I'd love to start planning some streams as well for 2025, where we build stuff, learn nvim together and maybe some games? lemme know 👀

[@kartiknagrale1479]

What do you use to make games

[@BeepBoop2221]

I'd like more stuff that isn't related to AI. I'm sick of seeing "make x with chatgpt"

[@kartiknagrale1479]

Chatgpt can't actually make anything unless super clear instructions for each line lol​@@BeepBoop2221

[@learnwithtjay]

In a month we will get a "I finally switched from Windows/Mac to Linux", looking forward to that video. Hope it will be NixOS tho :P

[@Ari-pq4db]

This video is an awesome introduction to Neovim, Thank you so much Ed !!!!

[@nikewhite4471]

LazyVim - best variant.

[@developedbyed]

To be fair this was a close second for me, was really nice making the config with this

[@morded-dev]

After using custom config for years. Now I am using LazyVim too for a year now I think

[@mutantmantish6141]

Nope, kickstart's the best

[@Gruak7]

Agree. Its "extras" that offer preconfigured plugins are a killer feature.

[@umanzorgerson]

Good to see you around! I love your channel

[@developedbyed]

I'll try to be around more frequently haha thanks for being here!

[@CanisLatransMedia]

Would be amazing to see some GO stuff here! 🙃

[@zenitsu2989]

I mostly learned React from your videos. It’s really nice to see you join the Neovim gang!

[@Shawn-Mosher]

Teach me NVim, I always thought it would be good to learn but I want to get up to speed without feeling like I’m losing progress! Thanks Ed!!

[@anthonyezeh7511]

If you say it's good, then it's good! Switching too!!!

[@developedbyed]

not gonna lie it's going to be tought for the first month, but once pick up more and more key mappings it starts feeling soo bloody good

[@linkarzu]

Astrocum sounds like something major 😅 Welcome to the rabbit hole!

[@niksingh710]

Hey! sorry to say but from a long time have not been watching you but when started my dev journey you played a important role, with time i changed from vscode to nvim and windows to linux and much more stuff. TBH never expected to see you switching from vscode as i adapted vscode by seeing ur vids first. i mean in short i just want to welcome you to neovim community ...... huge love

[@Ari-pq4db]

Can't wait for the new content, I would love to watch and learn videos related to more core computer science topics ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥

[@juanmacias5922]

Vim keybindings are such a game changer.

[@UwU-f2a]

i really like after i switched from vscode to neovim. no lag, amazing plugin config thanks to the primeagen, i installed neovim and installed his config then boom i very like it, the fast autocomplete and see documentation, very very fast unlike im vscode there are delay that waste time and made me waiting, i really like ittttt

[@mostafakheder7721]

Iam glad seeing you fine Ed

[@limitlesskode]

Finally content I'll love❤

[@itsmefrancois6825]

Why is nobody talking about the debugging capabilities. The reason I mainly use a full blown up IDE like IntelliJ is the 1st class debugger which in my work is one of the must work features and I want it to be as easy as possible to use. Can you elaborate more on that topic? Thanks for the nice video! Looks very promising

[@nextprogram5945]

22:34 give neovide a try, its a gui for neovim. the cursor animation is amazing.

[@hemanthkotagiri8865]

Welcome, to the club.

[@dipokchandra264]

Hey happy to see you again. Your video isn't in the skillshare anymore, why is that?

[@m4saurabh]

This gonna get viral

[@mahmoud-bakheet]

good one 👍

[@desvendandoornasaude4127]

I switched from Neovim to Zed

[@VictorMainaKinuthia]

I switched to Neovim earlier this you. I literally can't go back. 😂😭

[@luisiacc2]

Try out neovide , its a GUI for neovim, it's pretty much like the terminal but with smooth animations.

[@gadgetboyplaysmc]

Still not switching. I just have Vim on VSCode though. VSCode just looks more visually appealing to me still.

[@yyegor]

After using cursor I'll never switch back to anything else I used before.

[@paulcalebayibaemiotokolo]

Exactly 💯

[@developedbyed]

I assume you switched over from VScode? what made you swich over? I just can't deal with vscodes file tree and going back to not having visual mode/insert mode

[@chrikke]

I used to use Co Pilot a lot. Felt very productive, and fast. However, i forgot how to do a lot of the simple stuff, and i stopped thinking about what i was actually doing. I had less understanding about what my program did. Be careful using these tools

[@yyegor]

​@@developedbyed I used VSCode for frontend and Rider for backend development, though I occasionally use Rider for debugging. In VSCode, my workflow was mostly keyboard-driven, including navigating the file explorer tree, but I used the "Search files" menu much more often. And to be honest, my workflow hasn't changed at all because Cursor literally is VS Code. P.S. I'm navigating the tree using h j keys to go up and down, I think it's pretty similar to what NeoVim offers.

[@eb_is_entertained]

​@@developedbyed there's an extension in vscode which enables vim mode

[@jkt836]

Heck yeah

[@internetexplorer7880]

I tried using neovim many times but I couldn't keep myself from switching back to vscode cause everytime i need some new toolkit I'd have to dig through tons of documentation and tweaking my configs which just becomes exhausting to a point while you can just install an extension in vscode with a click

[@majid_kargar]

Let's fucking gooo

[@pixsa]

HEEEL YEAH BROTHER

[@laukiklanje3985]

please provide the github repo of the configurations

[@theprimereacts]

now you can say: I use neovim btw. xD

[@firedforfighting]

2 vids within 10 days🔥🫡. .🤞

[@rayantovi]

Fully Erect when i read neovim

[@hero3616]

I really feel bad for software dev world 😂

[@Feenskee]

Ed uses Neovim btw

[@umusilimu]

you must start with finger gymnastics

[@s8x.]

i did the opposite. vscode extensions are just better. just use vim keybinds

[@ChristianKolbow]

i would like to like vim, but it annoys me after just 2 minutes because it doesn't work the way i want it to. 😅

[@ChristianKolbow]

- why the hell do i have a default color scheme where i can't see anything because there's a pink bar all over it? - why can't i specify a folder in “find files”? it can't find my files that way? - where can i find the 3 million different shortcuts and how am i supposed to remember them? i am aware that i am the one at fault. but my nerves are too weak for that 🤣

[@juliancorredor1128]

@@ChristianKolbow - you can set a different colorscheme - well, there's plugins that provide different search experiences, but I get your point, though usually when I open telescope to find files and I want to do that in a folder I type the name of the folder and then the name of the file - wacha think, there's a plugin for that, called whichkey, it will show you all the keybinds that you want, not just the ones assigned to your leader key

[@ChristianKolbow]

@@juliancorredor1128 my first mistake was that i used the standard terminal on the mac. it can't display the colors.

[@mutantmantish6141]

Shader tutorial: shadertoy maybe??? 🤷

[@tzuilee588]

for real? 🤣always feel like vscode + vim plugin is the best

[@gnom-om]

AstroVim is the most user friendly nvim package.

[@royerguerrerop5982]

Font Family?

[@royerguerrerop5982]

Ohhh I see OxProto by NerdFont

[@sohanshiwakoti9972]

i prefer vim mode on zed btw

[@Design_no]

But why?

[@luthecoder]

Is it jus me or does bro look like pewdiepie

[@enriqueruiz320]

Traidor 😡

[@hamidakbari3305]

over complicating everything...

[@chrikke]

How so? Sure, the initial setup seems complicated. But it is fun, and after that, you really stop thinking about what you are doing, and your joints will thank you later

[@madmaxdev]

Just livestream once or twice a week, cut the topic out of them and post like theo or primeagen do.

[@Armed9-Unranked4-Impotence3]

YES, SIR
