[@evadeflow]

Thanks for these vids! I finally have some time off over the holidays to ‘sharpen the saw’ a bit, so I decided I’ll make the switch to Neovim. Your series gave me confidence that I can get it done and hit the ground running in the new year.

[@bardhokajvazi2726]

Find my answer in the first three minutes from the video. Before that, i tried searching an answer all day on google. Thank you sir.

[@stoicfloor]

yeah keep these new videos coming please!! can't wait to update my config and take inspiration from you!

[@ראםקישנבסקי]

Really the best vim tutorial series from what I've seen so far. So insightful, Thanks!

[@exequiellaresdev]

Thanks for the video! I'm following the series to learn more about how to use neovim. Currently, I'm using PHP storm at work but I really want to try neovim and your videos helps me a lot. 💪

[@AnalyticMinded]

I've been using regular vim for almost 3 years now, and only now am I seriously considering neovim thanks in part to clear guides like this on how to build neovim from scratch. I am not a programmer, so the thought of learning lua seemed a little intimidating. But from the looks of it, it's not that bad... in fact, not bad at all! :)

[@syamjulio3685]

Hi. Are you using vim to make latex?

[@AnalyticMinded]

@@syamjulio3685 I use vim with markdown + some latex code for mathematics, which I then convert to static HTML pages with pandoc.

[@briainodriscoll]

great series, Chris. Highly informative. Breathing life into my config. Many thanks....!

[@vitfl2580]

Was using LunarVim for a couple of weeks, but felt like i'd like to build a custom tailored config from scratch that will be suitable to my needs without all the additional stuff that I dont need. This series of videos is super useful for this purpose =) Thank you!

[@narcuenca]

I'm currently trying to force myself to learn nvim and I'm actually using LunarVim (because the defaults are amazing, I don't know how to configure my own nvim yet & it uses my name lmao). It's actually pretty cool that you've done this to help give us some idea on how the configuration files actually work. I'll still probably end up using lvim but this is a great help to at least know how things work under the hood, even for a little bit.

[@kalindu2974]

Please quickly make a video about how to make a vim colorscheme

[@xGshikamaru]

the desert plugin for neovim is amazing, so much better than the one in vim. I’ve had my own colorscheme for vim for years, but I’ll start over from the desert plugin when porting my theme to neovim.

[@rubempacelli6815]

Amazing! Please keep going!!!

[@claytonkruse]

How did you change the delay between holding a key down and rapid fire key presses?

[@wolfie8748]

Can you make your own theme amd syntax highligj in vim?

[@spacelion2510]

Love these tutorials and lua setting! Very appealing! wonder if you might release tutorials on building our own color scheme for Neovim in the future?

[@teeodoubled3000]

Thank you!

[@asif6786]

Thanks for the video. The darkplus theme looks great. How can I add undercurl support for it? I have changed all the styling to undercurl, but that doesn't seem to work.

[@sharkby7e]

Loving these videos! I do have a question, though...if i wanted to configure these colorschemes, for instance change the background, where would i put that code, and what does it look like in lua? normally in .vimrc it would say something like 'let g:everforest_background = 'soft'" for instance...Thanks!

[@falcon4359]

This is great but I had a question, When you change colorscheme using :colorscheme it will only change for that session & to permenantly change it you have to edit the config. But in Nvchad you can change it permenantly without editing the config How do I acheive this?

[@jerbparagas3924]

can you do transparent catppuccin?

[@yogxoth1959]

The :colorscheme command does nothing when I use it. Nothing changes when doing :colo blue, :colo default, etc. :( EDIT: Figured it out. I'm using Windows terminal and had set a theme in that. That overrides nvim's colors. I had to set termguicolors=true in the nvim config and I added a custom colorscheme where I set 'hi Normal guibg=black guifg=white'.

[@djuan33]

Are you accepting PR's for new themes. I'd like to port a theme.

[@alonso0188]

Thank you man.

[@alikthenam]

what is the term emulator in this video?

[@eclecticcoding]

Chris loving the video series. It is helping me to learn and transition to Nvim. I do have one question. How do my start making my own customizations such that a git pull will not over write my changes? With a VIM setup, I might use vimrc.after, vimrc.before to make changes. Is there a way to do this with Neovim Lua?

[@amirmu4298]

what is you platform(os) i wanna know

[@piyushduggal5370]

hey!! can you please specify how can I map my CTRL+SHIFT+{someKey} to another key, I tried with -{someKey} and but it doesn't work. Could you please help :)

[@chrisatmachine]

afaik you can't do CS-somekey

[@falcon4359]

Ctrl + Shift + K = (ctrl + capital k)

[@YannMetalhead]

Good video.

[@jotarokujo6099]

Neovim default color scheme situation is embarrassing. Default ones are not useable at all (see that packer window and non existent contrast in completion). What you did with error handling stuff should be actually done by default in Neovim. If the color scheme is not found - it's not the end of the world, just a warning to the user would suffice.

[@kamalkamals]

transparent neovim ?

[@chrisatmachine]

set bg to NONE

[@kamalkamals]

​@@chrisatmachine ur response not very clear

[@marc-andrebrun8942]

Am I the only one who think there's something wrong in the design of neovim? 16' video just to configure "colorscheme" ? and in total 18 videos to make that thing run! and a bunch of messy files to clone from github before starting anything? after the 5th video I'm about to give up.

[@Assxz]

its just not for u. chill

[@theherk]

4 letters to make it run. If you want to customize it to the point you need that many videos then you want to customize it; that's fine. But it runs fine out of the box.
