  • Neovim: creating keymaps in lua
    4 projects | dev.to | 11 Mar 2024
    I would use this feature of lazy.nvim in a plugin that I rarely need. Something neogit for example. I can spend hours coding without using it. In that particular case I think is nice to have the option to load it when I actually call it.
  • GitUI
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 7 Jan 2024
    This looks very much like the Noevim plugin I began using about a month ago: neogit[0].

    The keybindings were a bit rough, and it took me about an hour of use before I was really comfortable with the overall workflow. Once I was, though, I’ve found it to be much faster than my previous workflow (suspending neovim and using git directly in the shell).

  • Is there a discard all option in neogit?
    1 project | /r/neovim | 11 Aug 2023
    Edit: FYI: I made a feature request and got the answer, that it it possible to visually select the files and discard them like this together.

  • Magit

    For neovim users, there's a work-in-progress clone, neogit: https://github.com/timUntersberger/neogit/

    Some of my colleagues use emacs/magit, and after seeing how absolutely lovely the workflow is, I've put in a lot of work over the last few months expanding it. You can check out my fork here: https://github.com/ckolkey/neogit/

    One thing I particularly like to tease my emacs' colleagues about is that my magit is faster than theirs thanks to neovim's async capabilities.

    8 projects | /r/neovim | 6 Jun 2023
    You could use neogit (https://github.com/TimUntersberger/neogit) for basic commands however I have found it's easier / more versatile to just use lazygit in either another tmux tmux window or within neovim itself.
  • Switching from Emacs. My experience
    20 projects | /r/neovim | 24 May 2023
    The only thing I truly miss from Emacs is [Magit](https://magit.vc/) since I still consider it the best git wrapper available. It is just too good. Unfortunately [Neogit](https://github.com/TimUntersberger/neogit) is not quite there yet although I hope it makes it at some point. I didn't like [Fugitive]https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive), but I ended up finding a good enough workaround by using [Lazygit](https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit) through [Toggleterm](https://github.com/akinsho/toggleterm.nvim).

  • I Just Wanted Emacs to Look Nice – Using 24-Bit Color in Terminals
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 30 Jan 2024
    IME, this is like the golden age of terminal apps in general and macOS-compatible ones in particular. There are several really good terminals for macOS:

    [iTerm2 app](https://iterm2.com/)

    [Kitty terminal](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/)

    [WezTerm terminal](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/index.html)

    [Alacritty](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty)

    My daily driver is WezTerm…

    - Runs on Linux, macOS, Windows 10 and FreeBSD

    - [Multiplex terminal panes, tabs and windows on local and remote hosts, with native mouse and scrollback](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/multiplexing.html)

    - [Ligatures](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode#fira-code-monospaced-font...), Color Emoji and font fallback, with true color and [dynamic color schemes](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/appearance.html#colors).

    - [Hyperlinks](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/hyperlinks.html)

    - [Searchable Scrollback](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/scrollback.html) (use mouse wheel and `Shift-PageUp` and `Shift PageDown` to navigate, Ctrl-Shift-F to activate search mode)

    - xterm style selection of text with mouse; paste selection via `Shift-Insert` (bracketed paste is supported!)

    - SGR style mouse reporting (works in vim and tmux)

    - Render underline, double-underline, italic, bold, strikethrough (most other terminal emulators do not support as many render attributes)

    - Configuration via a [configuration file](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/files.html) with hot reloading

    - Multiple Windows (Hotkey: `Super-N`)

    - Splits/Panes (Split horizontally/vertically: `Ctrl-Shift-Alt-%` and `Ctrl-Shift-Alt-"`, move between panes: `Ctrl-Shift-ArrowKey`)

    - Tabs (Hotkey: `Super-T`, next/prev: `Super-Shift-[` and `Super-Shift-]`, go-to: `Super-[1-9]`)

    - [SSH client with native tabs](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/ssh.html)

    - [Connect to serial ports for embedded/Arduino work](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/serial.html)

    - Connect to a local multiplexer server over unix domain sockets

    - Connect to a remote multiplexer using SSH or TLS over TCP/IP

    - iTerm2 compatible image protocol support, and built-in [imgcat command](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/imgcat.html)

    - Kitty graphics support

    - Sixel graphics support (experimental: starting in `20200620-160318-e00b076c`)

  • Icons cut off when using using Konsole?
    1 project | /r/neovim | 7 Dec 2023
    I use Konsole without any problem. Check the font. I recommend you to use one from here: https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads. I personally use FiraCode medium patched with this tool to change the @ and the & symbols (ss03 and ss05). If you like that font, here you could get the codes to match your needs https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode
  • What font are you using and why?
    5 projects | /r/vscode | 6 Dec 2023
    Fira Code with Ligatures Enabled but also Ligatures Limited - (as per wiki), to make sure those Ligatures are not where you don't want them to be.

    I was the same until I started using Fira Code and don't think I'll ever go back to anything else. the ligatures are worth it
