A First Look At SpaceVim

SpaceVim is a distribution of Vim inspired by Spacemacs (a distribution of Emacs). It comes with a bunch of plugins installed and configured out of the box, which makes SpaceVim easier to get into for the the new Vim user. After spending so much time recently in Doom Emacs, what will be my initial impressions of SpaceVim?

SpaceVim author here, thanks for sharing this video. :)

Spacevim, vim-bootstrap. I only know of two of them. DT finally did it. After two years. Not complaining. Cool

dot files are accessed by hitting the "." key in the file viewer. Found that accidentally. They even have a ToDo app. Haven't tried it yet. Will check the docs to see if I will continue down this path or not. Thanks for the diverse coverage of software. It helps us find new stuff and not be just stuck in a rut.

This is very nice DT, I’ll check this out tomorrow when I’m on my PC. Thanks man.

Man. I've configured my own neovim basically just like spacevim. I use startify, and most of the plugins in spacevim, and a few more. I have a leader popup in the middle of the screen that looks a bit better and i have a terminal popup as well. I even made a Docker container for it. I should just switch to spacevim at this point... Looks more flushed out than my hacked together nvim.

This is what I use. It really is an easy way to get started up and has everything a normal IDE has. Saves a lot of time and with the easy menu system it makes it so easy to learn or remember things. I love it.

DT already tempted me with the dark side, I don’t think I’ll ever leave Doom Emacs.

If vi for boomers, vim for doomers, nvim for zoomers...
So SpaceVim for infants?

[amaxamon]

Stay with it - I'd like to see you come back to this with more experience!

[Handy-Handy]

Everything with "Space" in it has to be greatfull

[migmig]

Grate video, you really sold spacevim, and i laugh so much of there last joke that all my coworkers looked weird at me (i like old memes and the delivery was perfect)

[HelvecioGomes]

Good to see you back. Is everything ok there?

[thenextpoetician]

Great punchline. Side by side is a horizontal split as far as I can tell. :) It's not about the splitter, it's about the splittee.

[paulgeerken]

Have you tried Astrovim for neovim? It's also really good (it's what I use a kind of new vim user). It's lua based so it's easier to configure (in my opinion)

[lupanama]

I love the question you put in the end

[Jeff_Seely]

This is really fantastic. I have no vim experience and have heard you talk about it enough to where I'm interested in more reading and understanding how it can help me on my FOSS journey. It's definitely worth a download and maybe I should download vim tutor as well. Thank you very much!

why tf did youtube recommend me this. I have no idea whats going on

[samgreen]

"Now how do I exit out of vim" confusion stops with that question.
