The fonts aren't loading correctly for your airline plugin (it shouldn't be showing the > character). I've had this problem before (with iTerm for mac), and there is a little hack to fix it.

[hulladek]

Autocomplete filenames in insert mode <C-x><C-f>
basic vim function

[ianpan]

For indentLine to show, remember to set the conceallevel to 1 or 2 instead of 0!!

[aseemlalfakawma]

Why don't you set *noshowmode* as you have the airline plugin to show the mode anways? So it will remove the space between airline and tmux panel.

[Oswee]

If you use tmux only because of screen split feature then definitely you don't need a tmux. Tmux shines exactly in remote server management because of ability to create and persist an sessions.

"bang sign"? I like the sound of that. A whole lot easier to say than "exclamation point"

I don't have a dir called nvim in .config and no file init.vim in it. I already have installed neovim (on arch linux via pacman (pacman -S neovim) ). Should I just make a dir and a file in it?

[BurhanDanger]

For commenting I use:
0, ctrl+v, (select lines), shift+i, (insert character, i.e // )
for example comment 5 lines downward with #:
0^v5jI#

More strokes but usable across vim installation w/o plugins.

[exstasis]

"Whoa, I didn't know you can do `inoremap jk <ESC>` and have it work like a normal mode binding and delete any of the keys you may have inserted. I'll keep that in mind. I personally have just swaped caps lock and ESC on my keyboard, but I might use this trick on something else in the future.

I noticed in your other videos you use visual code do you prefer vim or vscode?

[MrGCE]

I SEE U'RE NO LONGER USING AIRLINE IN YOUR INIT.VIM? THERE'S SOMETHING BETTER NOWADAYS??

[relytheone]

I use vimspace and I run nvim, and fuck yeah!

yy is the vim built in equivalent of you remap of Y

Tx Ben. I am using 🌌-vim (Space 🚀 vim) with neo vim. So the config goes a bit different there, but you get a lot of stuff configured out of the 🎁. I just installed deoplete after watching your video but apparently that one messed up my ocaml autocompletion so I had to disable it again. I need to have a look at the documentation how to do filecompletion, and I already saw Hulla Deks comment over here that it is supposed to work with Ctrl-x Ctrl-f so next time I am going to try that. Next, I saw your vertical lines indent not working, it does work for me right out of the 🎁, but you only see the line when your indent tabs are bigger than the leading line above, so as long as there is no "whitespace" under the leading line you won't see any. So maybe the 🔌 -in works for you, you just need to give it more tabs on the next line.

could you explain how to config the path for gf

[BurhanDanger]

copy with Y works for me as it would with D

[Oswee]

BTW, did you tried this setup on Yarn 2 Berry PnP project?

[Berevezje]

Hello. How did you customize the ruler with colours like that?

[augustooviedo]

Hi Ben, thanks a lot, you have shown me the right direction. I'm convinced that I have to use NVIM to work better, but I've spent a lot of time understand what plugins should I use and how to configure then
