Level Up Your Vim Game with These Hidden Tricks

[@comfysage]

btw, u can use `set cmdheight=0` to hide the command line underneath the statusbar. since u use nui for your commandline this might remove some visual noise

[@devopstoolbox]

Ha! Sweet! Thanks!

[@joffreybluthe7906]

One trick that I particularly like that I got from the Primeagen is "g+increment". So if you have a column of 0, select all of them and then do g and then ^A you end up with a column of 1, 2, 3, 4, etc... Works with decrements as well! But I can never remember that it's g when I need it lol

[@neon13x]

That's a very cool trick, thanks :)

[@joffreybluthe7906]

You're welcome! 😁

[@devopstoolbox]

That's perfect! Yet another "G" magic in Vim. I think this keystroke actually deserves its own video...

[@goodboyneon]

Your videos are pure gold! They deserve way more attention. By the way, it'll be cool to have the real Ultimate Neovim setup guide. There are lots on KZbin but they lack one thing or another. I think you are the perfect person to teach us how to setup our Neovim just like yours or at least like an absolute pro!

[@devopstoolbox]

Ahh thanks for all the kind words mate! Definitely noted and I'm still researching the best way to jump start a full blown Neovim configuration. I'm on it 😉

[@Skatox]

Awesome! I didn't know about the Ctrl + O for a single normal mode command. Also, I was looking the video in the background and wondering how to edit the content inside brackets and your video told me exactly like 2 seconds later.

[@devopstoolbox]

Yes! Happy to help 😉

[@CurlyWoof]

SO nicely produced. A pleasure to watch. Tips I had not seen elsewhere on ^O and spelling. Thank you very much!

[@jparaujobezerra]

Great video, what is that window "Commandline" in 1:10?

[@jparaujobezerra]

Ive found it, noice.nvim plugin. Thank you

[@devopstoolbox]

Yes! This is Noice! Supper interesting project

[@n0kodoko143]

I love that there is always more to learn. Some great nuggets in this video!

[@devopstoolbox]

As always - thank you 😉

[@bobby9568]

How did you make it look like that? Including the middle pop up menu that shows up

[@devopstoolbox]

Hi! I'm guessing you're asking about noice, check it out! - github.com/folke/noice.nvim

[@mikhailhyde565]

Do you plan on sharing your config? It’s everything I’ve ever wanted out of neovim 😍

[@devopstoolbox]

Of course! Right here: github.com/omerxx/dotfiles/blob/master/nvim/init.lua

[@mikhailhyde565]

@@devopstoolbox wow...how about a patreon xD

[@devopstoolbox]

@@mikhailhyde565 that’s very flattering! I don’t think I’m there yet though. I want to share knowledge and learn from the community and that’s my joy right now. When I feel it has grown enough and I can find a process that can create additional value for certain members I’ll reconsider :) Thanks!

[@theIbraDev]

What do you use to get the messages in a window on the top right?

[@devopstoolbox]

Nvim-notify

[@tabotkevin8116]

Nice video, I love your nvim config. Which flavour of nvim is this? Or is it a person configuration version?

[@devopstoolbox]

Thank you! This a self-configured neovim powered by kickstart.nvim. I’ll probably make a video about that shorlty

[@rafaelborges8707]

Hi, which terminal do you use?

[@devopstoolbox]

It changes a lot! Nowadays for daily work wezterm. For videos it's mostly iterm or wezterm depends on the mood :)

[@niksingh710]

can you please share your Noice.nvim config?

[@devopstoolbox]

Certainly! To be honest I didn't customize at all, but what I do recommend is adding this config bit if you're using lualine so that noice doesn't hide it when you record macros: github.com/omerxx/dotfiles/blob/master/nvim/init.lua#L324

[@niksingh710]

@@devopstoolbox Thanks for sharing!! Loving your content minimal and informative. I wanted to get that noice completions as I type unable to figure out how to get that.

[@felipegutierrez2944]

1:34 I had the same problem with notify about my transparent background, i added this to my theme config => require("notify").setup({ background_colour = "#000000"})

[@devopstoolbox]

Yes! I've done that too but was more annoyed with the sudden color so left it as is. I should probably restore it. Thanks!

[@VovaY]

1:20 what does mean ; and : ? Do you have some tricky key mapping?

[@devopstoolbox]

I’m sorry, this is meant to be just colon and up arrow to search the history of commands. Just bad visual representation of the key… thanks for noticing! 🙏🏿

[@Danielo515]

You don't need to put the cursor on top of the number. It's enough to be on the same line

[@devopstoolbox]

Totally! Thank you :)

[@gabrieltambellinitanzi439]

Very nice !!

[@avatar_ng]

How is your experience using noice?

[@devopstoolbox]

So far, really good. The only thing I find slightly annoying is the hanging notifications which sometimes hide text. I work around it by jumping to the pop up window (C-w+C-w) and then closing it (C-w c). There's probably better configuration that I haven't yet got around to set

[@channel-rk2pn]

​@@devopstoolbox if you only have 1 window (no splits) you can just do Ctrl+w o, which closes all other windows except current one

[@devopstoolbox]

@@channel-rk2pn True! Although with no splits this is usually not a problem as the notifications are quite far from where I normally view code 😎

[@adibhanna]

Great video!

[@devopstoolbox]

Thank you!

[@edusoto91]

shift + down does not really work by default shift + j does. Great video!

[@devopstoolbox]

You’re totally right! Thanks!

[@surajthakkar]

please post more Kubernetes content :)

[@devopstoolbox]

I want to! Maybe further down the road. Anything in particular you’re interested in?

[@utilyre]

You can also append "camel" to spelloptions (`vim.opt.spelloptions:append("camel")`) to avoid getting errors on correct words like HelloWorld

[@devopstoolbox]

Cool!

[@ChristophVonBagel]

Oh wow that session thing reminds me of tmux ... Awesome . I didn't even know about :tabnew lol ... I got a long way to go .

[@devopstoolbox]

Well I love Tmux, and I've got more Tmux content coming soon, but my workflow in Vim and out is definitely influenced by tmux style / motions etc.
