nvim VS goyo.vim

Yes there is and just makes it so for insert mode and search and stuff. I made this for myself with the same issue: https://github.com/rdpopov/nvim/blob/master/configs/lang.vim

Aight, here you go. I have some modifications i have made for me, that might be useful. Some of the photos are outdated, statusline very much so, i use something plain and clean of weird characters. But it works for generic text editing as well. https://github.com/rdpopov/nvim. Strongly recommend tmux too

You could try this as an alternative to sneak - phaazon/hop.nvim. And im not sure what the grep plugin does but vim has grep integrated. I use it like a ripgrep though. Look into liuchengxu/vista.vim if you haven't, it kinda does like an outline and does not require an lsp( but it can use it) so its more versatile. Look into undotree if that is something that might interest you, it's useful, and maybe set up persistent undo and undodir. Since there is someone else that said about native lsp.. I'll just say its way easier to set up a language server to work correctly. Another cool plugin to use is ray-x/navigator.lua, used it mainly to look at references but it's got more uses. I find airline to slow startup time so if you are experiencing a slowdown thats a possible culprit. Here is my config, steal if you want to. neovim

i have somehow made it work a little bit different for the completion and still works great nvimrc

I wrote a manuscript in vim a couple Novembers ago, for NaNoWrimo. I used a couple plugins, primarily Goyo [1] to add some margins, but otherwise, yeah, plain vim.

I don't think it was really any more productive than my current workflow in Obsidian. Vim keybindings are more useful for editing than for writing (and for editing code in particular, where the changes you're making are much more structured). Also, while the extra features afforded by Obsidian don't really make a difference during the writing process, I find they're really useful for outlines and other preliminary work, which is something of a point against a vim-only workflow unless you want to use vimwiki [2] or something.

Granted, Obsidian is still a markdown-based tool, so there's still some level of minimalism going on there, but by that point we're really discussing markup vs word processors, which is its own conversation—and to my mind, a much more important one. I much prefer working in markup than in a rich text editor, because plain text is easy to edit and process through the terminal, and because it lets me separate style choices from content.

I find that the markdown live preview that editors like Obsidian and Typora provide (and which vim doesn't) is a really nice compromise between a slick composing experience and the technical affordances of markup. Between that and Obsidian's hypertext features, I think I'll stick with Obsidian for the foreseeable future.

Maybe https://github.com/junegunn/goyo.vim could be useful then.

Goyo is a distraction free plugin for vim/NeoVim. https://github.com/junegunn/goyo.vim. Typically used for people wanting to write inside of NeoVim. There isn’t a real purpose for me to use it other than I like the aesthetic looks. Thanks for replying!

Maybe not of use, but what about just one of your editors + the terminal? Using vim with the goyo extension similarly without the overlay. I write my notes with markdown.

I haven't maintained a Vim config in a few years now (more of an Emacs man now), but I do remember using Goyo in college. Looking back at it, I think it might scratch your itch as far as Vim plugins go, it even allows you to resize the area on the fly.

I went from https://github.com/junegunn/goyo.vim to https://github.com/folke/zen-mode.nvim and now this

Can't see https://github.com/junegunn/goyo.vim mentioned anywhere in this thread.

This feels real similar in concept to limelight and goyo. Nice! 👍🏻
