Hidding the command prompt unless ur actually typing something is so neat

When you see notification from DevOnDuty 🥳🥳

The * and # search by visual selection is generally a game changer. The immediate usecase I see for it personally would be to help me find divs with the same tailwind class, which is pretty big for me personally to help navigate in files.

I love that they go full on Lua now! I configured the whole thing including a custom highlighting theme without a single line of Vimscript!

really good breakdown format. I really appreciate the video.

I'd like to point out for people interested, after typing / for a search, you can use Ctrl r " to paste the last yanked text. While using the asterisk sounds catchier, it can easily become a pain when switching to "another Vim".

I like winbar and cmd height 0 is very userful for multiple panes.
Wow, mutiple selections is amazing to.

Hiding the command line in neovim is a much appreciated feature, glad they added it in 0.8

good video, the lsp format is awesome

[blackfeather]

Definitely the format one. I had issues with prettier where by if you format the same file on split window it scrolls to the bottom after formatting 😅

Great video, thanks for sharing these highlights. The startuptime flag and search a visual selection features piqued my interest.
