TOP 10 NEOVIM PLUGINS [2023]

[@rushyangdarji8954]

Mate, even packer devs are using lazy

[@JohnCodes]

I switched to lazy. New video soon.

[@thederpykrafter]

I'm still relatively new to neovim and I only use lazy bc I'm lazy and like the name

[@JohnCodes]

Hi all - trying this new format. Been having a hard time finding time to make content and streaming this alongside recording it seemed to make sense! Let me know what you think of this format!!

[@blessdarah1256]

I love this style. It's very REAL and allows you to make mistakes which others would usually make but your experience will give them insight into navigating through them regardless.

[@crytex1747]

are we not gonna talk about treesitter

[@JohnCodes]

Yeah, I considered dropping tree-sitter somewhere in. Maybe 3 or 4. But it usually ends up being a dependency for other plugins (like the Rust stack of plugins / configs to get the nice syntax highlighting etc.) It's great, but not really super usable on its own. But I suppose you could say the same about Packer or Mason.

[@ascourter]

Yeah treesitter gets you really nice syntax highlighting. I thought maybe you had it at 1 or 2

[@bibekshah3701]

I also like it's feature of easily hopping around functions and incremental selection of blocks, etc.

[@hand-eye4517]

very fun exploration of actually good plugins thanks ! also love the fun descriptions. you gotta knack for this type of stuff

[@sharificles]

you can just use fzf-lua instead of telescope and telescope-fzf, a lot of people have pointed out that fzf-lua is faster than telescope for larger projects too

[@mars_0008]

Is that the phantasy star online theme at the start?

[@vpsingh3475]

Hi All, tried this new format, succeeded in first time creating config for nvim 9+ with most default and workable. However plugin such as nvim-tree appears to be redunden as Nexplore,and Ntree are available builtin. Telescope ans lsp needed further details.

[@JohnCodes]

Glad this config worked for you! Yes, for lsp and telescope, it needs abit for your personal use case. For example, for me, it was installing the gopls language server to do Go development.

[@johnmontoya942]

What font r u using?

[@jeffvenancius]

It's kinda funny how a lot of people install so many plugins that vim does it already

[@blessdarah1256]

Do you mean vim-multi?? 😅

[@jeffvenancius]

@@blessdarah1256 i mean everything ahhahahahahha

[@ryzechdev]

I mean I don’t think vim has a built in test runner or lsp

[@ScottVargovich]

I made several attempts to install all these plugins, but finally got it. I have a slightly off-topic question: Is there any way to set hybrid line numbering as the default? I can turn it on in command mode using :set number relativenumber . There are numerous tutorials on how to set relative numbering as default in lua, but none for hybrid numbering.

[@novedekne]

It’s just like how you did it in the command line but in your vimrc. Go into your vimrc wherever you keep your settings, add set nu and set rnu, and BOOM you have hybrid numbering.

[@Bartweenius-Jaroofenzsteinkle]

in your init.lua vim.o.number=true vim.o.relativenumber=true

[@annakarolinafranz5946]

and your neovim config?

[@cathalogrady2331]

You dont need a plugin manager. Git submodules is all you need.

[@Feedback406]

Doesn’t telescope do the same thing as fzf

[@VPSubatomic]

Yes same things :rg or :fzf

[@nick-pu4zae]

thankYou

[@SergioOlivieri89]

Packer not supported/developed anymore

[@elfrikiprogramador]

In the next time capture the screen most closely, I can't see :c

[@colemichae]

No list in your description, no chapters, very broken video in comparison to other videos makers

[@JohnCodes]

Thanks for the feedback: been trying to streamline some content creation methods. Difficult with working full time!

[@colemichae]

@@JohnCodes no problems I was looking for this type video noticed you just put it up, so constructive criticism is best add chapters if possible so probably can run through it quickly, others also suck :) one guy I follow drags on and on but he is very informative. I like short and to the point, as data limits time online. Hey I'm not making videos I have no idea as yet :)

[@lpanebr]

Thanks. I didn't know about nvim-visual-multi! I also looked for a plugins list in the description and chapters but it did not prevent me from going back and clipping that to share with my future self. I liked that you left the problems. Congrats.

[@JohnCodes]

@@colemichae added chapters!

[@colemichae]

@@JohnCodes perfect :)

[@jimreem1693]

@12:39 "... I can quit." Singlehandedly ruining vim user experience for millions of newbies. Now, how will they be able to regale their grandchildren with tales of the grand old days of being stuck in the editor and powerless to escape.

[@JohnCodes]

lmao.

[@bardus_hobus]

Subscribing because of your hate for node.js….I too hate node. Surprised though that you didn’t put treesitter as #1

[@user-uh3zr7mo4i]

no list and chapters? I am out

[@JohnCodes]

added chapters
