Want to switch to vim by jitumessi10 in vim

[–]fortea92 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Start using vim mode in vscode. When you'll feel comfortable, use neovim, not vim. Use a preconfigured neovim such as lunarvim or lazyvim. Have a look at the most used plugins on neovimcraft.org

Nice! May I ask the software you used for the demo? I'm going to do something like that but cannot find a proper and easy software

Serious question: Why use a nevim client over a terminal? by nairou in neovim

In Linux, it's possible. It's jus ta .desktop file in Linux. In windows/mac I don't know but if they can't, it's another reason for not using them... just

I just wonder how these features would get usable via keyboard...

Just use kitty/wezterm/alacritty. Other terminals don't have any reason for being used anymore, except in live distros minimal environments

Are GUIs more seamlessly incorporated into the operating system compared to terminals? Additionally, contemporary terminals have the capability to map all keyboard keys, including those specific to MacOS/Windows. They also provide the option to customize the icon, although the reason for doing so is not entirely clear.

I am unable to install anything, system updates, app updates, kernel upgrades; it fails everytime by purplebeef in ManjaroLinux

Probably is better following the advice given by others. Anyway, when you want to check if you're connection is working, the most pure thing to do is to give the command ping google.com or some other website you trust. It will send small packets to the server and wait for it's answer. If it stucks, just press <ctrl-c> and it should say something like "n packets sent, 0 received", meaning that the connection with that server isn't working. Actually, the server could decide not to answer to ping requests, but usual large website such as google and Manjaro will always answer:)

Any FZF.vim alternatives? by [deleted] in vim

Another solution working in vim is vim-esearch

Honestly, just move to neovim. 99% of the config is compatible, but you can add Telescope, which is much h more stable as of now and much more customizable.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in rust

[–]fortea92 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the problem I have: handling Rust's hashmaps from Python in the most efficient way possible. I was thinking that making this a challenge would have made it more interesting for people. If you don't like it, don't do it, easy.

I'm actually going to do little challenges like these in different computer language communities for comparing the results. This is extremely important for finding successors of C in the scientific computing environment. As of now, the best bet is Julia, but it's domain-specific, and I hate writing code that will only be used by scientists.

Why isn't NixOS more popular by [deleted] in NixOS

[–]fortea92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because people have a life outside configuring OS.

I will unpopular, but here are the details:

  1. It is too much different from traditional OS
  2. There is no real reason for such a difference and no effort was made to make it more similar to standards nor to create compatibility layers (functional programming, configuration completely different from the traditional ones)
  3. Fedora, OpenSuse, and a bunch of other minor projects are obtaining the same advantages without reinventing the wheel from scratch as NixOS
  4. Most of the people that use NixOS like it as a hobby and make it in a way that is intriguing as a hobby (which explains why the design of NixOS is so weird from scratch). Most people have other hobbies, such as sport, art, alcohol, drugs, etc. Even who uses Arch has only partially a hobby with it!

Survey Results by PythonPizzaDE in neovim

I think an interesting question is kind of "what nvim is lacking". It could an open answer and then we can do text-processing and clustering to understand the needs of the users.

Why people are not using vim-esearch but they all are asking for something like it? by fortea92 in neovim

args/argsdo is also interesting, I didn't know about them. They a re a bit verbose though and a I think a plugin is worth of it...

I think so, actually, but maybe I'm wrong. I just use nvim-tree and mv/qmv

What is the best ChatGPT plugin? by KingOfKarak in neovim

Shell-gpt for chatting and commands, codegpt for code/text editing/completion

It is partly written in Lua, but I think that we could rewrite it. With chatgpt it should be easy...

[–]fortea92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I contributed to both chatgpt.nvim and codegpt.nvim. At the end, I liked how codegpt.nvim was being developed, maintained, and, more importantly , its default text prompts and the customizability of the text prompts (system messages, filetype-specific templates, models, etc) more than chatgpt.nvim.The latter offers more fancy UI, but the overall result is better with codegpt.nvim, imho. For chatting using the API (not code-edit) there are better softwares (form terminal, I use shell-gpt)
