Our Favourite Vim Plugins - with The Art Of Software

This video as a very special celebration video, its a way for me to give back to you all, to say thank you for all your support and love the past few weeks/months. This is my video to celebrate reaching my next YouTube milestone of 600 SUBSCRIBERS! Thank you all so so much!

This special video is actually a collaboration video with another brilliant YouTube creator called "The Art Of Software" aka Mikey! He is a genuinely cool & brilliant dude with lots of really creative & fun videos!

In this video we talk about Vim & in particular our favourite or most used (or most notable) Vim plugins! We first of all talk about how we personally each got into Vim and why we started using it & then we take turns presenting and demonstrating 3 plugins each (Links to all of them can be found below).

Towards the end of the video after we have talked a bit about our workflows, colour schemes and Vim preferences. We also talk briefly each about our own custom Vim plugins that we have written to solve our own problems or meet our particular bespoke Vim needs!

Thanks for watching and please reach out to me OR Mikey with any questions/queries that you might have! Of course, below, is a list of timestamps so that you can jump ahead to a particular area of the video & links that are discussed in the video are below that!

[RichardONeil]

[thengakola]

yo that figlet stuff for note taking is cool

[himanshushukla]

Oh man this was the best video on vim that I have watched after the thoughtbot ones

I started on Bill Joy's vi, early 80s (I am an ancient). A magnificent design, that. I still have the muscle memory; I use neovim now.
The main point was that you don't actually write code a lot, you spend most of your time editing, moving around, searching. Do that on a VAX., you need to be tight and efficient. And terse.

Here is my way.

Press "*" on the word you want to change.
In command mode type "s//the_new_word"

[tobias-edwards]

Pulling ticket numbers from clubhouse is inspired, I should write myself something for JIRA. With an API key I might not need to be connected to VPN, too!

[othondias]

Great video. For rename you could use CocRename as well.

[uuu]

Tpope might as well be the pope itself

[bogdananca]

Nano? I started using it when it was named 'pico', which was the default editor of 'pine' mail client.

[rajughorai]

You can use tmux with vim to improve your workflow

[kamalchan]

great but i use this key binding the search and replace:
nnoremap <leader>r

add this to vimrc and the open any file and put you cursor under the word you want to replace and press <leader> key the leader key for you it may be the / forward slash + r and you can replace your word very easy
