Thank you so much. It was really helpful :)

this was very helpful! thanks for your effort!

I dont even know what im doing here
im just curious an love Freecodecamp Courses

Damn , will i be able to ever learn all of it ?

good presentation, but imho it describes too many commands/details, at some point it is pretty clear that it can be used just from keyboard, etc. i would expect a bird view description for me as a beginner to vim

Is it for linux or windows?

Ele fala rápido demais. Isso complica para quem não domina o idioma.

Can anybody tell me what this function is ?

Thank you master

thank u so much!!

i have enjoy the lecture lots

wow. it really becomes very intuitive come you know the rules for commands.

9:40 for those who wanna know how to exit vim

I don't know, man, I came here looking for a minimal way to use Vim as effectively as possible, not for a way to recreate Visual Studio Code in the terminal. Anyway, this is great for those wanting to replicate the setup in their one and only machine.

I can confirm that vim users are literal psycopaths

Thanks so much for the video. May I ask, how did you record an hour plus video and have it to be only 85mb of size? Thanks once more.

Funny to see that you do all this in WSL2 from Windows 😂

Just change title to NeoVim, why lie?

you explain it so nicely, and precisely. great tutorial

Thank you sir!

Thank you for the awesome tutorial!

That sounds so convenient and logical, but yet it's a whole new language, seems a lot harder than switching from python to kotlin
For the whole video i was looking for a way to go to definitions, usages, find classes in project, i guess i'll need a ton of plugins...

For me the ~/.vimrc file is not working... So you have to make your file (.vimrc) into this directory ~/.config/vim/nvim/init.vim (by changing the name to init.vim)

For anyone having problems setting their preferences in a file:
Check if you are using "nvim" instead of "vim", in which case, your settings file should be named "init.vim" instead of ".vimrc", you also need to store it in the direction "~/.config/nvim/" instead of "~/"

I uee Arch linux btw

Which font you are using please ?

Thanks

I kept forgetting what w, e, gg, etc. do — felt like I was starting from zero every time I opened Vim 😅
Then I found VimDrill. It’s a free site that lets you actually practice Vim commands like a typing game.
Helped me get past that “Vim is too hard” wall. Might help someone else too. Just google it if you're curious.
