vim9jit VS fzf.vim

That's not happening any time soon, but there's this project by one of Neovim's contributers that transpiles Vim9 script into Lua.

Probably feasible with https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit actually

There's https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit. It has reportedly been used to port Vim9script runtime files to Neovim.

Neovim is going to use a transpiler that covers vim9script code to lua code using the nvim api in the future (https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit)

I didn’t watch the streams because I wasn’t totally sure what he was even doing, but maybe this will take some of it off your hands: https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit

It could (rightly) be argued that neovim could just merge in vim9script, but I think this probably isn't the best more. I'm personally more in favor of getting a vim9 cross-compiler working, that way there's an easy way to support both. But that's my ignorant two cents on the matter.

A core contributor to Neovim is toying with a Vim9Script to Lua convertor.

That's not necessarily true.

Core maintainer of the Neovim Tjdevries is working on a compatibility layer that would allow vim9 to not only run in Neovim, but likely faster.

My understanding was the neovim folks decided this wasn't work the hassle. TJ already has https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit, which transpiles vim9scripts to lua, and that is much more likely the way things will go.

Fuzzy Finder: fzf.vim (for its speed) along with telescope.nvim (for its ecosystem)

And added my keyboard shortcuts.

There are two plugins allowing us to use fzf in Vim: the native fzf plugin directly installed with fzf, and fzf.vim. The second plugin is built on the first one.

You might be interested in installing the fzf-vim plugin [0]. It has a user-defined command :Maps which can be used to search through all keybindings (you can also do this with just :nmap in vim, but the fzf interface is much nicer). It also provides :Commands. This behaves remarkably like VSCode's command palette.

You'll also need https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim (which is imo the only vim plugin that's a must).

I do all my file operations from the command line. But to open and search files I use fzf

Regarding plugins , I am using https://github.com/Donaldttt/fuzzyy because it works in windows, unlike https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim

There's a :Buffers command in fzf.vim that I use extensively. It opens a fuzzy-find window with all open buffers in a MRU list.

Thanks to fzf.vim and fzf-lua, everything I learned and copied is from them.

they're likely referring to fzf.vim, the vimscript plugin from the original fzf author that wraps around fzf. there's also fzf-lua nowadays.
