How to Vim in 2023: Tips and Tricks

This is not another tutorial on how to do some key combos or how to install plugins, its about _using_ the plugins and everything together to have a complete experience! I hope you enjoyed it!

Over the past 3 months you’ve inspired me to switch from vscode to nvim. I feel 3x faster. Just in time for ai to take my job 💀

Guys I just figured out that pressing "I" lets you type things.
I'm not lying it worked a minute ago.

[jjysoserious]

"i use dvorak" DUDE IS THE PERFECT CHADSTACK 😭😭😭

[jafarjuneidi]

This is actually the best vim video I've seen you make by far.
Really loved it.
Would like to see the i3+tmux combo as well

Thank you! I've been using Jetbrains for probably a decade already, and your videos convinced me to learn neovim. It's really not as hard as it seems, I'm on day 2 of using neovim exclusively and already good enough to not get lost.

And holy shit, just exploring all the vim commands and figuring out how to combine them... when I experiment with something a little bit more complex, wondering "will this actually work?" and it ends up doing exactly what I wanted, that really gives such nice dopamine hit like no other software I've ever worked with.

Nice to see ThePrimeTime posting on his secondary channel every once in a while ;)

[jameshardin]

Please make that total walkthrough you mentioned in this video of how to be a productive beast of a programmer using the tools you do. I am 21, new to the real side of programming and web dev. Thank you for your videos they have been enlightening me to the world of programming like no other channel has.

This is the third time I'm watching this video and I'm just in awe at how much I can now understand after getting into neovim, THANK YOU so much for those tutorials, you're are GREAT PRIME! Never stop teaching!

[shawnmatyasovszky]

Would be curious to see your debugging workflow, if anyone else has interest in that sort of thing. It definitely seems like a pain point in the setup/usage of vim/neovim, and it's usually the thing I find myself reverting to an IDE for.

[overdevio]

I also use Dvorak, a split keyboard, and neovim... Does that mean that I just need to learn rust? Am I just one step away from being a real CHAD?

[anmolsharma]

Mygod so perfect timing. Just finished you 0 to lsp. You are a blessing

[jds]

That was fun. I have been using LazyVim for some weeks now and I am getting a similarly nice and flowing experience. I just need to add harpoon to the mix, sorry about that omission!

[elocdev]

You've switched me to a rose-pine color theme and helped me a lot in getting started with vim. I've never had more fun navigating using vim motions. It's so fricking cool. Thank you!

[theondono]

I'm just commenting to please the algorithm because more people should be using vim

[mayboroda]

This is the only channel that I have to listen on 0.75 speed.

And (slap) we need more videos

[CUBKITS]

There's some really great navigation stuff in this video. I would love to get this fast some day. I'm working my way into using Neovim as my daily driver, but so far I can only really use it effectively when editing single files. I use vim keybindings on VSCode, because I understand how the files and navigation and stuff works, and all that stuff, but I would love to learn more about how buffers, windows, tabs, etc. work in Neovim. As of now I just end up feeling so claustrophobic with multiple files or an integrated terminal as I often just lose track of them or forget the shortcuts to navigate around/manage windows/buffers.

[mikeyim]

Also these vim videos have so much rewatch value. I mean, I’m probably gonna play this over and over and pausing tip by tip until I get it all committed in my memory

[luizcarlosazevedo]

amazing video!! would love a "how to use your terminal" with your transitions between command line, project in neovim and neovim config

[taylorchavez]

This reminds me of watching a star craft 2 pro explain all the hot key mappings lol

[TayTayChan]

This is great. Would love to see more about your i3, tmux and git worktree workflows
