nix-darwin-dotfiles VS nvim-scrollview

Editor - I use a modified version of nx-ace, its essentially just the ace/cloud9 editor with a few personal tweaks https://github.com/shaunsingh/nix-darwin-dotfiles/blob/main/configs/nyxt/ace.lisp. Then I can launch grip in a panel buffer for a markdown preview

You can view my config here: https://github.com/shaunsingh/vimrc-dotfiles/tree/main/.config/nvim, if you want examples of what's described in this post. My config is fully lua, and starts up in about 9ms as per --startuptime

Yes and no. Neovim itself won't load any faster, but there are tools that work better with lua (e.g. packer.nvim). You can also pull some tricks to make neovim load faster (see https://github.com/shaunsingh/vimrc-dotfiles/blob/main/.config/nvim/init.lua)

Nothing related to this bug but you have useless stuff in packerInit.lua.

Here's how I do it: Piecing out the config: https://github.com/shaunsingh/vimrc-dotfiles/tree/main/.config/nvim/lua

Instead of VSNIP I switched to luasnip. You can see my installation here (https://github.com/shaunsingh/vimrc-dotfiles/blob/ea94504185b7315259c901c89fc8cf4bc11ebaf6/.config/nvim/lua/pluginList.lua#L78) and my configuration with nvim-compe here (https://github.com/shaunsingh/vimrc-dotfiles/blob/main/.config/nvim/lua/compe-completion.lua)

And it doesn't look like im setting guifont anywhere. Heres my init.vim in case something else looks off: https://github.com/shaunsingh/vimrc/blob/main/init.vim

For scroll bar, try nvim-scrollview

Nice. I was using dstein64/nvim-scrollview for scrollbar, but I am now tempted to switch to this one for search/gitsign integration.

Here are a few ideas to help: - Make sure your cursor stands out and is easy to find - Briefly explain windows, the status bar, and the tab bar, and make sure he knows that the file names are indicated at the BOTTOM of a window in the status bar - Make sure you have line numbers turned on and perhaps use this scrollbar plugin https://github.com/dstein64/nvim-scrollview so he knows where in a file you are - Explain what you are doing constantly, especially if the screen appears to be changing all of a sudden e.g., when you are scrolling up/down, jumping to the next search match, jumping through the jump list, jumping to a code symbol, navigating to a new file, opening up a file explorer, opening a fuzzy finder, opening a terminal, etc.

Virtual text. Diagnostics/linters are the obvious use case here, but there are other clever uses that plugin authors can use this for. (indent-blankline, nvim-scrollview, ...)

I use neoscroll for smooth scrolling and if you want a scrollbar then use this https://github.com/dstein64/nvim-scrollview

As of 79797a0, this workaround and a few others are now applied automatically. Workarounds that would clobber existing customizations are not applied.

I tried various ways to approximate WinScrolled, including usage of CursorMoved, but was unsatisfied with the options I tried. I documented some of the issues here. I recall also encountering an issue in Vim where the popup window for the scrollbar would occasionally become the active window, but I didn't spend much time debugging that, having switched to developing the plugin for Neovim.
