We're kicking off a new series delivered monthly with updates to our neovim config with new plugins and changes as they happen. We're here to give you some answers to the most pressing questions asked in the comments and on Twitter.
Github Copilot changes the game for development, and we're unpacking how to set it up and what it looks like in Neovim.
Auto-session makes jumping into and out of sessions just as we left them easy. Oh and get ready for navigating between sessions with Telescope.
LSP's are great but who wants to manually install each one? LSP-Zero is here to solve that problem behind the scenes.

Usually I don't like sponsorships but I'm glad you're sponsored now. Such people, like yourself, deserve it! Keep up the good work man!

[@typecraft_dev]

Thanks I appreciate that!

[@vitorlfaria]

@@typecraft_dev Should say: Thanks nerd!

[@Redyf]

Your channel is absolutely one of my favorites, the quality of every video is superb!

[@typecraft_dev]

Thats great to hear thank you!

[@ButerFiv]

Perfect timing. I just started watching your neovim videos a few days ago. I've been on VSCode/Jupypter for years since my job is in data science, but I'm having to program more backend application stuff at work. I'm hitting that VSCode productivity limit. You easily have the best videos on Neovim since 99% of videos out there assume people are switching from packer to lazy and already have a strong knowledge of what's going on. Thanks!

[@typecraft_dev]

Awesome!!

[@QuantumMechanic343]

Session management! Thank you so much for sharing your experience about the auto session plugin!!!

[@typecraft_dev]

It’s a really great plugin!

[@user-si2vn2si5c]

thank god this channel exists, it's very helpful.

[@AhmedMOHAMED-hl1hd]

Perfect video as usual man i really am a fan if your style keep the good work man can't wait till the new video drops

Great video stil updating my config. Fist channel that mad me get into nvim without getting lost

[@typecraft_dev]

Hell yeah!

[@meowhib]

Same here! I love everything about these vidoes from the way of teaching to music in the background

[@faustozampa]

I love this series, here since day 1

[@typecraft_dev]

I love you since day 1

[@z01d]

That was useful, thanks, dude!

[@v84l42]

You're the reason i got into Neovim. and now i can't go back. thank you!

[@felipegutierrez2944]

I dont want to scare you, but I love your channel, Great content!

[@typecraft_dev]

Nope that just makes me happy!

[@gearmaxim]

[@typecraft_dev]

LETS GOOOOOOO

[@REDIDSoft]

Amazing videos, you'r awesome!

[@fantero1649]

This is actually pretty cool!! See you on the next episode nerd

[@typecraft_dev]

See you there

[@j1d7s]

Thanks, again a very useful collection of tips! I have already added auto--session to my arsenal after seeing it here. If I may add a comment regarding the background music: it was nice, but a bit too loud and distracting.

[@typecraft_dev]

Thanks for compliment and more importantly, the feedback on the music. We’ll tweak things on the next one!

[@ChrisNoesen]

Great Job! ....again

[@ChrisNoesen]

Hey Typecraft, Warp terminal just came out for Linux and has been out for MacOS. I think doing a deep dive into Warp would make for a great video (probably series). I think you are the person for the job!

[@user-dt1ul5kx8n]

Love the tmux vid here. Using it now for 2 days and it dope. Curious as I am trying not to up my pycharm license this year, do you have a vid on how to create a "structure" window. In pycharm and I assume vscode, you can quickly look down and see a scrolling windows of all your functions and those types of things...

[@AkarshanBiswas]

It's a big learning curve for me. I need to view pydoc and venv support for my projects and I have not been able to made it properly work with lazy.

[@daxtgames]

Love your channel! Long time vim user, been wanting to try neovim for a long time. Finally jumped after watching you neovim 0 to ide course and am loving it. Also a heavy tmux user. Have you ever used tmux-resurrect? I routinely have 3 named sessions with up to 45 terminal windows/panes that I just restore from disk and save when required. Check it out if you haven't.

[@typecraft_dev]

That’s a great idea I’ll check that out!

[@0xc0ffee_]

How did you manage to open and cd into the directory you use as argument to nvim? I’ve been looking to do that

[@hberto]

Nice stuff! Which terminal emulator do you use?

[@typecraft_dev]

Using iterm2 for Mac OS here

[@ziyadseykhanov3967]

I like your intro 👍

[@notgate2624]

Did you not need `pre_save_cmds = { 'Neotree close' }`? autosession would freak out on me if neotree was open last time I quit neovim

[@typecraft_dev]

I haven’t seen anything crazy but that’s a good idea

[@stuvius]

I just followed the first four parts of the noob series and I absolutely loved it! I hope I can make the switch from VSCode, but I am not sure how to handle the individual configs for each project. For example in one project at work, Eslint is used for formatting, while Prettier is used for another. This is easy to handle in Vscode since you can just create a local settings file for each project and specify which formatter to use there. How would you handle that in Neovim?

[@typecraft_dev]

The same way!!! The tools in Neovim are very similar to score ( sometimes the same ). And they will prefer local files

[@stuvius]

@@typecraft_dev Ah interesting, will look into that. Thank you for responding!

[@user-xd5gd4pc9h]

I love you video, which are greate! I just want to know how to config it using local model such as codellama and others. I also recommend to give codieum a try, but no neovim plugin.

[@vedwalvekar7834]

pls do a in depth video on lazyvim and how to use it

[@typecraft_dev]

We did a whole course!!

[@codebowl]

Auto Session is nice, I just wish it would allow me to rename what is displayed in telescope window :). Loving this plugin so far though, 1 tmux window for my editor now vs having many different projects open in different windows

[@typecraft_dev]

Awesome!

[@user-mp9um5qj3u]

You are the best 🎉.

[@TheFranklawrence]

Hey Type are you aware of any way to get a Split View chat window of copilot in neovim that can read lines from your current buffer?

[@typecraft_dev]

Ooohhh I don’t know but that sounds cool!

[@annakarolinafranz5946]

your neovim configuration, do you have something to share? thank you!

[@N1mro8]

Have you tried codeium, how do they compare?

[@IkraamDev]

Anyone get the glitch with Neo Tree where when you open a folder the selected file goes to some random place?

[@Laggedskapari]

I mean at this point….bruv is carry whole nvim beginner community

[@typecraft_dev]

You’re a legend

[@Laggedskapari]

@@typecraft_dev Sir! You are a legend

[@s-xatya5088]

Does neovim have a strong refactoring like Jetbrain?

[@shrikamath]

LSP-Zero messes up with , I am not able to use it for Copilot anymore.

[@auntiecarol]

As a fellow moustache wearer, I approve of this video.

[@Luanxxxxx]

I use copilot in nvim but compared to vscode it can only do it line by line, unlike vscode which can do the entire function. This seems good at first for you to review line by line, but sometimes it takes a while to go from line to line and sometimes it loses context, is that just me?

[@zephyrthesearchrescuedog8358]

In this video you literally see copilot do a multi line completion

[@roellert]

0:31 you have an error with a language server not loading! I have the same after just following your nvim for newbs. How the hell do we fix this 🥲?

[@roellert]

Oke i answered my own question.. Apparently installed some mason stuff while fidgeting with sudo nvim instead of nvim. Tried sudo nvim and :MasonUninstallAll. then quit and opened normal with nvim and everything autoinstalled correctly again. Thanks nerds.

[@funnyfact4211]

can you give me your full setup nvim config file

[@lakshmanshankar]

I am using copilot for about a year for free using my github student pack btw. My college id is useful for this alteast 😂😂

[@typecraft_dev]

Hell yeah

[@Yunky_]

Surprised he has done copilot but not autopairing

[@typecraft_dev]

Don’t worry that’ll come up soon!!

[@ivan-zlidechat]

Hey! Nice content. Dropped you an email.

[@PaleyBlog]

Feedback: too much course selling, too little useful information. You lost me as viewer

[@hackeysack09]

Oh no! Anyway...
