Zero to IDE with LazyVim

Then I show how to use many of the common features built into the config. From there I show how to add your own settings, add plugins, modify existing plugins, and disable those that you'd rather not have.

There is so much that comes out of the box with LazyVim. It provides a great starting point with the ability to extend it as you see fit #neovim #vim #terminal #lazyvim

I have 15 years of vim usage, but I really think the which-key and telescope features show how a good user interface matters. Discoverability matters, how adjacent features are just *made available* like that. Thanks for this showcase. Here's to another new era of vimming.

Thank you for making this. Not only the best LazyVim intro, but also a great example of a how-to video. Well done!

[AdrielVelazquez]

Just subscribed, this is probably one of the BEST tutorials for someone who is not only trying LazyVim, but also getting into VIM in general.

I'm thinking of having several follow-up videos to this LazyVim one (maybe in a playlist)

Some ideas could be setting up tailwind, unit test setup, debugging, additional formatters and/or linters, getting copilot setup, etc...


How does that sound? Any other ideas you'd be interested in?

This is the most detailed yet packed LazyVim tutorial I've found so far! I subbed!

[Mikenight]

This video has given me motivation to finally switch editors. Will definitely take this journey in 2023!

[mertnuhoglu]

This was one of the most condensed, information rich tutorial videos. Thank you very much. I loved your style of explaining stuff.

[samhernandez]

Best instructional video I've seen. Perfectly paced, and perfectly balanced between instruction and resource; Fast enough to be an overview, deep enough to return to sections for reference. Subscribed!

I have been wanting to checkout LazyVim but I've been busy trying to get LunarVim or NvChad setup to my liking. However, watching this video has shown me that a lot of what I'm wanting is already setup in base LazyVim and this video also showed how I can easily change some config options. Very well done! Thank you! I'm going to install it and wipe out my previous config right now! But to be clear, this video was absolutely necessary for me to decide on switching to LazyVim. The other configs I mentioned don't have videos like this showing how to configure them. Sometimes I get overwhelmed in the docs and it's hard to actually get things working the way I want.

If you make more videos, I would really appreciate one showing how to setup LSP, formatting, and linting of other languages. (Emmet for HTML, Svelte, Nix, and bash are a few that would be nice to see). Other advanced config of terminal apps would also be cool. Looking forward to your upcoming videos! Thanks for your hard work and time given to your OS projects and videos!

I started using Neovim again after watching your Video and its amazing so far. I always wanted to use vim, but didn't really get into it. All the small helpers holding my hand while lerning are great for keeping me going. would love to see you making more in depth videos where you show basic configuration of the core features like telescope (fzf), neotree and explain whats under the hood, I have to admit I couldn't always follow this video.
LazyVim seems so feature rich, that explaing the core idea and functionality will help me, and sertainly many others, start exploring.
TY for your work, best Fabian

I love how lazy makes it easy to define, configure and set keybindings for each plugin in it's single file. Great content! I've just watched all your videos. Thanks! Now I'm going to go switch to lazy kickstart.

Just one thing. The lines you commented at 2:32 to enable typescript, js and mini animate don't exist anymore in the starter template.

[khanra]

I tried to switch to vim for 1.5 years but never could do that.
i randomly found this playlist, this is the first video and its only been 4 min
I downloaded lazy and started following the video.
every technical videos should be like this.

can't thank you enough.

[richardrapstine]

I’ve tried to learn VIM in the past but quickly got overwhelmed and gave up. This makes me really wanna give it another shot. It’s just so damn daunting!

[defnlife]

One thing that might be cool is to show how colorschemes can be used and overridden.

eg: if you switch colorschemes colors don't always map correctly.
For example, with gruvbox, Alpha doesn't map colors and keeps everything gray/white.
It's normally trivial to swap colors, but it seems a bit more involved on lazy.

[JacquesvanWyk]

I have now come back to this video and in awe of how great this tutorial is and also how great Lazyvim is. Thanks so much I love my editor now🎉

[OliNorwell]

which-key is one of those plugins that you never realised how much it was needed until you started using it.

And yeah, telescope, what a game changer!

[GiGaSzS]

Few years ago I have learned VIM and it opened completely new world for file editing to me, despite having a steep learning curve.
Recently I have found about neoVIM and its extensions. This is now a complete new monster to tame, but in the end, it will definitely help.

[josevillar]

Great video!! I would like you to make a series configuring LSP, DAP and testing for different programming languages!
