no-neck-pain.nvim VS neovim

I use https://github.com/shortcuts/no-neck-pain.nvim or https://github.com/rcarriga/nvim-dap-ui

Great point, it’s exactly why I added a scratchpad feature to https://github.com/shortcuts/no-neck-pain.nvim to leverage the empty side buffers as scratch pads (https://github.com/shortcuts/no-neck-pain.nvim/wiki/Showcase#side-buffer-as-scratch-pad)

If I may join the discussion on this topic, I've recently added a scratchpad feature to my plugin, which in your case, would allow you to take notes while taking notes

Thanks for the request! Would you mind submitting it to GitHub so we can further discuss it and what you’d expect? Thanks! https://github.com/shortcuts/no-neck-pain.nvim

Thanks a lot! please let me know if you need help. Feel free to open an issue to continue the discussion: https://github.com/shortcuts/no-neck-pain.nvim/issues

Speaking of your empty left terminal, [I just added this earlier today](https://github.com/shortcuts/no-neck-pain.nvim/pull/69) which only adds the side buffers when there's enough space, so if you have the plugin enabled, you don't have to worry about opening an empty window, the plugin thinks about it for you :)

Oh thanks for the reminder, I created the tags but forgot to do the release! The changelog is already there

Just did it with mini.nvim a few days ago and it works really well and pretty easy to setup! Here’s the PR link in case you want to take a look: https://github.com/shortcuts/no-neck-pain.nvim/pull/31

As a software engineer, choosing and understanding your text editor is important part of your work, as it impacts your productivity and workflow efficiency. It's like choosing the perfect tool for any trade - you need to know what tool to use and how to use it effectively if you want to excel. For me, I use Neovim as my editor and I have been using it for a little over a year now.

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack. If you don't have Git, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/downloads

There are several ways to install Neovim. This wiki provides several guidelines on how to install Neovim.

All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.
