    NeoVim was released in 2014 as a fork of VIM that adds support for Lua. Just like its predecessor, there is quite the learning curve, but the payoff as a keyboard-first editor is truly rewarding. You have endless options to customize your setup and I encourage you to start by changing individual things to your liking (like tabs vs spaces) and to make a custom configuration of your own. Lua is already popular as a systems language so it was a good replacement for vimscript and it makes it easier to write plugins in comparison which means there is a good selection of plugins available for Neovim. Its easy to get option paralysis with the vast amount of customization and plugins, so there’s popular configurations of neovim that put together a nice UI with modern IDE functionalities and we can start with those like AstroNvim and NvChad.

    line 1: you would have to copy it and remove all the nvchad keymaps and additionally reformat your keymaps to adopt this format. for example, if you copied the file in the link to lua/user/mappings.lua I believe you can just replace the first line with:

    I would suggest to start getting into vim by first trying out popular vim keybinding plugins available on your favorite code editor and get used to those first. Then, if you want to dive deeper into the power of Neovim, try out popular configs like LazyVim, LunarVim, NvChad... Taking Neovim from a mere text editor to a full-featured IDE with features like intellisense, debugging, testing, etc... on your own takes quite a lot of work and configuration.

    Neovim. Neovim config is based on NvChad. It follows all its guidelines and documentation adding tons of useful plugins on top, while still being "blazingly fast", thanks to lazy-loading.
