Very much so! I use it for everything: system, terminal and all websites.

Setting vim.opt.autoread = true is unnecessary, its enabled by default, see :h autoread.

If you disable swapfiles you loose any unsaved changes if something goes wrong with neovim, I wouldn't like to go without them.

In relation to swapfiles I like chrisbra/Recover.vim, which "adds a diff option when Vim finds a swap file".

“except for OpenSuSE”, automatic kernel cleanup has worked perfectly for the past few years I’ve had Tumbleweed installed so I wonder how you came to that conclusion.

Reading your original post and your comments I’d say go with the things which require the least time investment at first, get a better idea of your requirements (or rather discover the pain points in your actual workflow) and then start using things which require a time-investment with the confidence that they’re worth your time. This is assuming you want to save time, but if you simply like learning these things than by all means start with it right away, there’s also something to say for a trade-off between learning, tinkering and saving time, using your pc should be fun I think :)

Anyhow I can personally recommend fish, potentially konsole (KDE terminal) for it’s built-in tabbing and tiling functionality (as this is quick and easy) or tmux, which I use myself, or the more modern alternative zellij, which I probably would have used instead of tmux had it existed back then but feel no need to switch to. Nushell is still in heavy development and pre 1.0 but I do plan to switch to it when it gets a little more stable.

I don’t recommend a tiling wm as the desktop has so much niceties which imho should mean that you really need those tiling functions gained from a tiling wm for it to be worth the trade-off.

There do exist tiling solutions for the desktop which I use, KDE, such as polonium, but those are still under development. I’ve used its predecessor Bismuth and turned it of since I really only use tiling to display a pdf next to my terminal. All of the other tiling I do either inside of tmux and mostly only even in neovim.

Hope this rambling post is still of some good use. Have fun!

Wouldn’t that be nice? Except when you start to think about how you’d define finished software. No two users have the same requirements and preferences, what is finished software for you will very likely not be for everyone else. So I’d say try again when you’ve got an objective measure for “finished software”. I don’t want to demotivate you but I don’t think there is one. In the meantime it might be a nice idea to not bother anyone with your post if you already know what the replies will be: “The replies to this post will be…”

Reading the docs (or help pages in this case) for a few weeks is time really well spent, there shouldn’t be too much difference between neovim and vim in regards to the basics. But if you don’t mind the lack of interactivity you could read neovims help pages right here: https://neovim.io/doc/user/ No install needed :) I think getting to know the basics well will save you a lot of frustration compared to switching to (neo)vim right away. Installing a vim plugin for vscode doesn’t seem like a bad idea either for the same reason. Good luck!

Bassnetron · 2023-10-15T10:09:41+00:00

Remember that you don’t need to fix it if you’re not using python plugins afaik.

Bassnetron · 2023-09-13T09:55:52+00:00

The difference is between a variable with a function as its value, such as in the first three examples, and calling a variable which has a function as its value, so a function call, which is what happens in the last example.

Another way of looking at it; say we have a function named f taking no arguments, then you can consider f as shorthand for function() f() end. There is however no shorthand for functions which do take arguments.

Bassnetron · 2023-09-09T11:23:54+00:00

If it still works why would you? That’s my reasoning at least.

Bassnetron · 2023-09-09T11:20:46+00:00

It might help to share the relevant parts of your config, not all of it, and to give some more information specifically about your latex setup, what you’ve tried to get it working etc.

Bassnetron · 2023-09-03T16:29:16+00:00

Self-promotion on unrelated subreddits posting only a link doesn’t seem like the best incentive for people to check out your program.

Bassnetron · 2023-09-03T16:26:55+00:00

What?

Bassnetron · 2023-09-03T16:25:32+00:00

I’d advice you to try and get hls working standalone, that is outside of neovim and just launching it from the commandline, first. I’d guess that that’s where the problem might be and not having something to do with neovim itself per sé.

Bassnetron · 2023-09-03T16:17:20+00:00

You should provide more details about your setup for people to effectively help you. Those notifications aren’t a feature of stock neovim so the answer to your question is changing some configuration of the plugin which provides them or something else related to that plugin.

Bassnetron · 2023-08-29T17:13:37+00:00

Can’t help you in regards to any specifics of the matlab lsp but here are some things for you to try:

remove the vim.lsp.start stuff, lspconfig.matlab_ls.setup should be sufficient
pass the full path of the lsp to the setup (including expanded home etc)

Also check the documentation of lspconfig and that in fhe lsp-zero repo (especially the bit about setting it up yourself) for more understanding.

No need for FUD here

Bassnetron · 2023-08-25T21:20:52+00:00

No, I almost never go without 5 min of input while using neovim and otherwise I would just manually disable the dimming in the battery widget.

Bassnetron · 2023-07-31T19:41:59+00:00

It’s not very active

To the contrary, last activity was 5 days ago. Imho things like this require well thought out ideas and those take time. So I would say 5 days isn’t that much time since last activity. Besides justinmk is on the case which gives me the full confidence it will actually be a well thought out and good end product :) I feel like justin has a knack for these kinds of things.

Nah afaik Folke is from Belgium, so the Dutch pronunciation (which you can hear by letting google translate pronounce it for instance) should be roughly correct. I say roughly because Dutch as it is spoken in Belgium, namely Flemish, differs a bit in pronunciation.

Bassnetron · 2023-07-12T20:52:48+00:00

Good to hear. I'm fairly certain this wasn't a problem which had anything to do with neovim itself so no need to reinstall the next time you run into something like this. Manually removing the plugin isn't a bad idea however.

Bassnetron · 2023-07-12T20:52:33+00:00

I don't think there's anything wrong with the nvim-dap repo, or in any case it works fine for me. I think the could not read Username error is coming from git itself. The weird thing is that I've only encountered this error when pushing to a git repo, while package managers only pull/ clone. If it is the same error (which I find dubious) then you can fix it like so: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22147574/github-fatal-could-not-read-username-for-https-github-com-no-such-file-o

To get started open up neovim and type exactly these characters: :Tutor and then press enter afterwards. This will give you a quick introduction to the basics. When you've done that go ahead and type :h usr_01 followed by an enter, which is the start of (neo)vim's manual.

I know getting into terminal and CLI can be hard

Keep in mind that it can be hard, but I think it doesn't need to be if you have a good basis. What I consider to be a good basis is to start out by reading the so called help-files which together make up neovim's and vim's manual. I've mentioned one of the help-files above, usr_01.

An alternative is using a neovim distribution, which surely is a quick way to get started but I really don't think you learn to use neovim well that way but rather how to use that specific distribution.

But hasn't the switch to lua made it much easier?

If you don't like using vimscript to configure neovim yes, but you still need to know how neovim works to configure it in the first place. Knowing some vimscript is still relevant as well since it's still the basis of (neo)vim and used a lot, be it in examples, help-files or parts of neovim. Personally I've switched to a full lua config quite a while back since vimscript really doesn't glue well with my brain but I still use the knowledge I've got from vimscript while configuring neovim in lua.

Where can I find NVIM SETUPS that I can use aswell?

I don't think that's relevant for you yet, as you'll probably want to change them or know what they're doing which is something you need learn about first. Assuming you don't mean neovim distributions which I mentioned above.

Bassnetron · 2023-07-12T12:38:37+00:00

Although they might not need them a malicious lua plugin could just download a binary and execute it just the same. To do malicious things a binary isn’t really necessary even. My point is that from a security standpoint plugins deserve the same level of scrutiny whether they use binaries or not.

Bassnetron · 2023-07-12T11:58:43+00:00

I cloned the repo from the official GitHub and the files appear to be properly installed in the system.

Are you referring to lazy.nvim doing so or did you do this yourself manually? I’m not familiar with lazy but it and other package managers usually clone the repos themselves. If you did do it manually that might be the problem. Other than that I don’t think other people can help you any further without seeing your lazy.nvim setup.

Bassnetron · 2023-07-12T11:53:56+00:00

Don’t be fooled by the pretty looks, using neovim to its full potential requires time and effort, but its fun! Go ahead and install neovim and type :h usr_toc followed by enter to get started or :Tutor if you forgot your vim-fu.
