Keep the nvim videos coming. Learning more and more everyday and these videos help

[omarmagdy]

nvim-surround also works with tags in html, xml which is very useful, cst will change the surrounding tag

this video is so good!
it seems like so many vim videos are all about the exact same few plugins, thanks!

Thanks for doing these AstroNvim specific videos - much appreciated 👏

A nice detail of the surround plugin is that when surrounding with the various bracket types you can choose if you want those ugly spaces inside the brackets. E.g., if somewhere in a word "word", ysiw( results in "( word )" like shown in the video while ysiw) results in "(word)". I use the latter all the time :-). Same principle for {} and [].

Thanks for making video. Please make more videos on neovim and stuff it really helps for new users.

I enjoyed this and would love to see more videos on neovim plugins. Not the headline ones that everyone knows, but useful things like adding custom text objects, advanced treesitter, and more.

Installed Treesj and nvim-bgf. Thank you.

[Redyf]

The first one is pretty cool, thanks for sharing

The nvim-surround feels like it should be in core neovim. I mean we have motions to modify inside a selection, it would make sense to extend those to allow modifying around a selection

And the chanche of it happening is not zero, since they already added the commenting plugin as a builtin feature!

TreeSJ looks very interesting. Thanks!

[hotdogc]

Awesome video! This could easily be a series

[odoenet]

Awesome! Yesterday I was just wondering if there was a way to get previews with qf after doing some vimgrep. Thanks!

[mitreshdabhi]

which theme are you using? great video btw 👍

[seshadribasava]

Awesome videos, they are very helpful. Can you make a video on lazy package manager? It would be very helpful.

IntellIj is still my go to ide to get stuff done, neovim is fun and great and all but when you are dedicating a good chunk of time to constantly updating, replacing plugins, the boilerplate config unwinding config / binding conflicts and lookup and ask yourself where did you your day go while having to have a jira completed by tomorrow this hits home pretty quickly

[sagojez]

Can you do a full tutorial on nvim-bqf?

[DTorange]

nvim-bqf is not working for me. Smth wrong with parsing treesitter

[ubandog]

How do you get the highlighting for when you're selecting a word, etc.?
