How to Configure Neovim to make it Amazing -- complete tutorial

Hey everyone! In this video I want to show you how I configure my neovim to make it amazing! I consider this better than VSCode.

This video goes over a lot:
* lua as a language and some of its features for neovim
* making your configuration modular using lua's `require` syntax
* installing plugins with packer to make vim better than vscode
* configuring plugins in a nice modular way.

Hope you like it, subscribe!

Amazing! You have done a really good job. I'm just switching from old vimscript to lua and this put me on the right way in just few minutes.

Great tutorial. One comment I have, is add a couple second delay between when you finish edit in one config and beginning edit of next config to give us mere mortals a chance to pause and catch up :)

lsp-zero is one of the greatest thing for neovim beginers, a very easiest way to setup lsp, cmp and mason

After several hours of stepping through the video frame by frame with several commands being missed because you have a rabid and crazed lust for speeding up the video while you do the voiceover I think I'm finally at about 60% of the functionality you've described... thanks? I think?? maybe???

Okay, I shall give nvim another try. Wanna those aesthetics and speed.

Thank you for such a helpful and detailed video! Will definitely use it for my first Neovim setup. By the way, what terminal app do you use or would recommend for macOS?

vimscript is a simple scripting language, you can define functions and bind them to keys, or set options like you do in bash.

Telescope needs to be updated to 0.1.4, or it will not work.
