vim-plug VS paq-nvim

Some examples are vim-plug, vundle, or, lazy.nvim.

👉 If you are missing a plugin, you can easily install or uninstall it using vim.plug. For more information, please visit vim.plug on GitHub or I'd be happy to advise you see about us.

I have been talking about plugins since the beginning of the article, but using a simple editor doesn't involve doing everything by hand. So I have been using a plugin manager for a long time and if you don't, I strongly advise you to get started: it's very practical. I used Vim plug which was everything I like: simple and effective.

vim-plug

Did you really install VimTeX? Did you run :PlugInstall? Ensure you installed and set up vim-plug correctly (https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug). If VimTeX is installed, it should be installed to '~/.vim/plugged', thus you can open a terminal, then cd ~/.vim/plugged/vimtex and you should find the files there.

If you're determined to use vim for some reason, I'd suggest checking out vim-plug: https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug. Quite useful for installing and maintaining all of the plugins that you're going to need to get vim to provide even a subset of the features offered by modern editors.

I encourage you to add plugins to your vim (tip: use vim-plug). Use vimawesome.com for inspiration.

Personally, I like https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug

But the plugin manager https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug can also install from offline sources, without accessing Github:

If you want a dead simple package mamage that only puts packages in opt and start, you can use paq.nvim

Is there anyone here who can share some feedback on how much lazy.nvim has been better than what you were using previously? If my context helps, I'm using paq-nvim, previously was using packer.

This was a problem when I was using paq as my manager, now I have the same problem with packer. It never happened when I wanted to install new plugins, only on updating. With packer I have a workaround: after it fails to sync it allows to re-run all failed jobs, and each times about a half of failed jobs fail again, others update successfully, so I can iteratively sync everything, but that's a terrible waste of time;

Options: - packloadall command family and maybe git submodules - minpac which is a thin utility around the above - vim-plug - old but still popular for it does the job - packer.nvim is a popular choice for lua configs, never got to using it myself - paq-nvim is another often mentioned lua solution - dozens of other solutions

that sounds like paq, but slow?

On my Neovim setup, I simply have the following plugins. I use paq as a plugin manager:

paq.nvim
