VS Code + vim plugin is sooo slooow. I’m happy it works for you but I can’t wait to finish on boarding my onboarding buddy so I can go back to vim where I belong
I do too… but it’s not perfect. If you use the extension that uses neovim in the background is seems is the best option but still I miss my “never needing a mouse” feeling I had on emacs. I mean maybe is just lack of knowing keybindings… but back on the day when I used spacemacs it was all so intuitive.
You guys recommend VSCodium over VSCode. Is there a working sync solution similar to the one built into VSCode where you can sync all settings and extensions between machines?
Yes! It’s this one open-vsx.org/extension/zokugun/sync-settings I really like it for using a normal repository over a “gist” and so you can also use any git server provider, I think the developer is also a contributor of VSCodium itself
A lot of them are shorthand for phrases that exist in other programming languages. If you watch the whole video you can see him type things like match to get the ≅ or something like that I don’t know I didn’t follow at all It’s pretty heady shit.
Yeah, just watching and learning about their existence now, but it definitely looks like people took the full ASCII library and decided to use it for all common operators and operations in the language. Really cool, but yeah, kinda arcane until you learn the characters.
I played around with it a little today, it’s actually really nice, I still suck at vim, but the menu popups make me happy. Reminds me of micro a little.
Helix is genuinely a great editor. Even the AppImage picks up LSP servers present on the system. If it works good enough for you, awesome! Don’t stop using it because someone sang praises of neovim.
I really do love some of the blunt and often accurate but not always replies from ChatGPT. I legit like it’s personality if that is what we can call it. Can be down right sassy at times.
It is like this in the beginning but you come out the other end actually knowing how to change your editor to be what you want.
To me, neovim made it really fun to edit code again, and I spent months with it, learning lua from scratch, even wrote plugins for it that got popular.
The shortcuts makes it really easy to jump around in code fast and all the different plugins feels like getting constant upgrades. :)
IDK honestly hacked together a config over the weekend and have been using it for a couple months now. Definitely not perfect but it works pretty nicely. Occasionally use Helix as my backup editor, but eventually I just learned to live with my “good enough” config.
(Seriously, a lot of configs are pretty bloated. Not every little thing really needs to be optimized…)
