Is Neovim right for you?

Nikfp wrote a blog post a few weeks ago outlining what to expect for the Neovim-curious and anyone who's frustrated with their current editor. The article touches on what Vim / Neovim is and goes in depth about Nik's experience making the switch. Also included are some resources for people as they dive in and join the fun. It's a lenghty article, but it should prove helpful to anyone getting started or considering making a change.

Zero to IDE with LazyVim

Elijah Manor keeps on his migration guides from a couple weeks ago in his latest video about how to turn Neovim into an IDE by using LazyVim.

New plugins {#new-plugins}

node-type.nvim

node-type.nvim screenshot

A Neovim plugin to show the currently selected node type from LSP and treesitter information.

The demo shows this plugin being used in several ways:

  • Using the lualine statusline integration to show the node-type info in the statusline.
  • Via a keybinding.
  • Via a call to the plugin API.

Links:

zsh-nvrepl

Actually a Zsh plugin, which runs a command starting with : as an Ex-command and echoes the result.

The Ex-command runs on an existing Neovim session, which is by default a parent Neovim session when Zsh is in the Neovim's terminal. The Neovim session can be elsewhere, such as one on a different Tmux' pane from a Zsh session.

reticle.nvim

reticle.nvim

This week, @Tummetott made a new plugin that avoids the clutter of multiple highlighted screen lines with split windows by disabling the cursorline and cursorcolumn settings for inactive windows (unfocused). Unlike a simplistic solution with a few autocmds, this plugin still allows for exceptions like disabling the cursorline or cursorcolumn for a particular filetype or making it permanent for other filetypes. Furthermore, this plugin supports highlighting the (less intrusive) cursorline number in all split windows, while the cursorline is displayed only in the focused pane.

Congrats on the plugin!

vitesse.nvim

vitesse.nvim

A theme by @2nthony, forked from neosolarized.

Did you know? {#tips}

Nothing for this week! It’s a week for you to reflect on everything you already know and practice things you don’t master yet!

Is there a feature from Neovim you know exists but you rarely use?
