*Requires neovim 0.9.x*

This took 10 hours to record :) It was really really hard.

We need a support group for anyone that has tried to follow this.

[earthling_parth]

Prime, I'll do you one better by pre-thanking you! Words cannot describe how useful this video will be to me and many many other people starting out with Neovim. Much, much appreciated ♥️

[captainbrainless]

Small note: At 6:50, you need to have ripgrep installed to make the grep-keymap work.

[hm_webdev]

Regarding the Harpoon keymaps, Prime uses a dvorak keyboard, so the equivalent keymaps for the ui.nav_file lines on a qwerty keyboard would be "<C-h>", "<C-j>", "<C-k>" and "<C-l>".

0:38 Just a reminder for people to use nvim command and not vim command to open neovim. He has the vim command aliased to open nvim.

I never pre-like videos... but when I do, it is The Primeagen talking exactly about the topic I need to learn.

[scottiedoesno]

Videos like this make vim SO much more approachable. If not for your original vimrc videos, I wouldn't have stuck with it for over 2 years at this point. Thank you for what you do!

For those who find themselves faced with the following error from nvim-treesitter: "lua:86: Parser not available for language...'". Re-watch 11:18 but DO NOT add "help" to the "ensure_installed" options list. Instead, you'll want to replace it with "vimdoc". After that, as of writing this, you shouldn't get any parser errors coming from nvim-treesitter.

Anybody else have to watch this video at 0.75 speed just to follow along? Awesome stuff, thanks for sharing, @Theprimeagen!

[ioewguboiuewrgnl]

Wait wait, let me get my popcorn, blanket and laptop.

[richienguyen]

For those of you who stuck from 2:32, I had a old version of Neovim (0.6.1) and installed the latest release (0.8.1). The error goes away!

[iuribrindeiro]

Amazing! Ty so much for helping me spend 10h configuring vim so I can forget how to close and save the file next week and go back to vs code.

[anthonyparks]

Thanks! Saved my ass after years of vscode hell and its terrible C++ support and general terribleness. Using the vim keybindings for years but nvim + tmux is all I need anymore. On top of that, I regained enthusiasm for my work because I am not yelling at my editor all the time. THANK YOU

[duwangchew]

This is amazing.
Finally allowed me to properly use nvim.
I tried other preconfigured nvim setups, like lunarvim or nvchad and never fully liked them.
Yet messing around with nvim rc seemed daunting and other videos weren't quite as comprehensive.
Thanks primeagen, keep up the good work.

[Codex]

Honestly, I don't know how anyone is supposed to get started with vim without your videos... I've been going over your last several vim videos the past few days trying to figure out how to get it to work. This video helped more than you could imagine :D Thank you!

[sandybandy]

Note: At 4:40, if PackerSync does not work, add in the init.lua in the theprimeagen folder. I had to do it. Config: WSL + Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS

[Aikchun]

Thanks for making neovim so much more accessible. Especially to a long time vim user. The LSP setup made it so much easier to start and get productive with my current projects. Really appreciate it!

[kyumullo]

I'm running this video at 0.5 speed to follow along, and by howdy is that a trip. Thanks for putting this together Prime!

[brainstormsurge]

Unfortunately the LSP Setup at 18:06 is already out of date. This video is showing their 1.x version and as of now they are on 3.x and while they have a guide for the new version I was only able to fix the Mason stuff as I'm just a noob.
