[Demo] Lua Augroups - Why And How To Use?

Some more people on the reddits have been asking, "Why should I have autogroups and why doesn't the API automatically create a group for me". Hopefully I answered that question here and I hope you enjoy the video.

Just keep these coming. Most of us doesn't even know most of vim stuff like these. I would love to see topics like folds, quick/local list etc explains in some details.

Been digging more into autocommands and autogroups to learn them. Really appreciate these videos!

Gotta smash that like button before watching the video :)

[joaopedrorocha]

Haven't understood quite well hehe

This video just made me realize that i don't have a good mental model to understand whats going on underneath the hood in neovim. Like the context of how stuff happens. It would be great to have more content on "nvim fundamentals" or something like this.

Will we ever get a proper nvim lua tutorial series?

[winter_light]

Why not have the clear as true by default. Will this not save some manual work for users? Users can opt in and add clear = false if they want to since that’s a rare scenario? Maybe there’s more to it than what is on the outside that led to this decision? @tjdevries

Hey Tj! Thanks for this awesome content, im a big fan of Theprime and you. I was wondering whats the name of the font that you use and more important, whats the colorscheme that you use? Looks great ^^

Please make a full neovim tutorial going from an empty vimrc to a ide-like neovim

[bryantfoo]

Thanks TJ again. I got some question to ask. Is this new api efficient compare to the traditional way? This have been bothering me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What plugin do you use to display line breaks? :)

[Mraclaws]

As someone who just uses a single init.vim with no cool auto cmds but these videos make we want to take the lua plunge. It's scary!

[window.location]

is this only available in neovim +0.7 ?

[berndeckenfels]

If there would be a unique name you can at least overwrite (redefine) automatically without defining the group for the usual case

[SkyKosiner]

Well I think the time has come, to change my whole config to lua{

[gireeshmarathi]

why not have clear flag for autocommands

[tobias-edwards]

Struggled to follow this, not enough intro context for me
