Noobie Needs a Nudge

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/neovim

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • barbecue.nvim

    A VS Code like winbar for Neovim

  • I'm pretty sure Dropbar requires Neovim Nightly. I use Barbecue, personally, since I don't use Neovim Nightly.

  • toggleterm.nvim

    A neovim lua plugin to help easily manage multiple terminal windows

  • And I never really got into Gitsigns or vim-fugitive. Lots of people love them, so I'm sure they're great, but I'm happy opening a floating terminal with Toggleterm and using Lazygit.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • lazygit

    simple terminal UI for git commands

  • Comment.nvim

    :brain: :muscle: // Smart and powerful comment plugin for neovim. Supports treesitter, dot repeat, left-right/up-down motions, hooks, and more

  • A couple nice quality of life plugins would be: Comment (which lets you use a keybinding to comment/uncomment things), Autopairs (which will make the paired brackets/parentheses/etc.), and Rainbow2 (which color-matches the pairs if things like parentheses).

  • nvim-autopairs

    autopairs for neovim written in lua

  • A couple nice quality of life plugins would be: Comment (which lets you use a keybinding to comment/uncomment things), Autopairs (which will make the paired brackets/parentheses/etc.), and Rainbow2 (which color-matches the pairs if things like parentheses).

  • nvim-ts-rainbow2

    Rainbow delimiters for Neovim through Tree-sitter

  • A couple nice quality of life plugins would be: Comment (which lets you use a keybinding to comment/uncomment things), Autopairs (which will make the paired brackets/parentheses/etc.), and Rainbow2 (which color-matches the pairs if things like parentheses).

  • neovim-session-manager

    A simple wrapper around :mksession.

  • Something that is a bit more advanced, which I'll just throw out there to let you know exists, is sessions. It basically saves all the currently open buffers, tabs, panes, and how they're set up so you can return to them later. You can use them without plugins and open, load, and save them manually, or you can use a session manager (I personally use Neovim-session-manager). That way if you're working on a project for class X, you can save the session, close Neovim or open another session to work on class Y, and you can return to that session whenever you want.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
