Vim As Your Editor - Horizontal

[@ThePrimeagen]

This is technically part 2 of the series! I am trying to make the parts so you don't have to watch them all, instead you watch what you are interested in!!! If you like this video then press the damn button already.

[@6Diego1Diego9]

why are you up so early?

[@earthling_parth]

@@6Diego1Diego9 he has said in the past that his videos do well in morning hours and especially on Mondays or Tuesdays. I don't know how that can be the case but it's Prime so I wouldn't dare question the coconut oil god 🤣

[@PhilipAlexanderHassialis]

Prime, my good man, I adore this series of videos. Nonetheless, when (after *much* trial and error) managed to install Plug (in Windows no less because on my 20.10 it simply doesn't want to install because for some reason doesn't want to work with my manually installed pip), I was left at a point where CoC was up and running but even though it did bring up suggestions, it didn't want to select the active one... nope, even inoremap or how its called work. And after tries after tries after tries, first in Linux, then in Windows, it suddenly dawned on me that all of it was an exercise in futility. Love the editor, don't get me wrong and I would SO love to use it - but if I have to spend hours and hours, depending on OS version and whatnot just to get an extension half-up-and-running in an semi unusable way, well, sorry, but eff this shit. When NeoVim obtains a proper marketplace where you simply download a single file where it must be placed in a well known beforehand directory and the whole functionality is self-contained, without depending on the presence of rust or python or whatever the hell, then perhaps I can give NeoVim another try. Until then, sorry, but VSCode offers a much more hassle-free experience. Strike the last paragraph. When NeoVim obtains a proper marketplace where I can open up a hovering window, type what I want to look for and it allows me to select an extension and downloads it and sets it up for me, then perhaps we can talk. Either this, or when there are complete-batteries-included-one-file-downloads with a complete setup incl. code completion, plugin functionality and all that jazz. /rant

Appreciate you papa Prime changing the world and making it a better place one video at a time. As someone struggling hand issues, I remember 2 years ago when I joined a bootcamp and saw the instructor did a ci( in VS****, it blew my mind. I desperately needed it in my life but the guy was being a gatekeeper, never shared the goodness with the rest of the cohort so I started to search online for resources and found your content on vim. You've inspired me along with may others to start their vim journey, so thank you once again!

[@vetiarvind]

Hey i love your videos on vim man. One thing i'd suggest for any beginners who love their IDE's (i love my jetbrains ones) is to just downlaod the vim plugin and use with any intellij editor. I've been writing Scala, Go and now Python with vim mode, so you get all the intellij goodies + vim ease of movement. You also get 2 clipboards for copy-pasting (one vim local and ctrl-c or cmd-c for outside the ide). Regards from Chennai, India.

Thanks a lot for putting in these amazing guides and introducing vim to me. I hopped onto the vim train to be vim-diesel and instantaneously fell in love with vim. Its great fun doing Parkour but in the files. However I saw John Carmack on a podcast and he was heavily stressing upon use of debugger in vscode or other ide's I wonder if there is such possibility in vim. I m new to the world of programming and I would hate to migrate to vscode down the line.

[@nikfp]

You can do debugging in vim / neovim. Setup is quite a bit more involved than in vscode though. Look into DAP (Debug Adapter Protocol) and LSP (Langauge Server Protocol) for Vim or Nvim, whichever you are using. You will also be setting things up specifically for whatever language you are using.

[@glyphack]

For the work he's doing Game development and VR you really need custom debugging software to work efficiently. Don't hate switching tools, use them when it makes your day better.
