Newbie getting started using VIM for coding

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

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

    Nodejs extension host for vim & neovim, load extensions like VSCode and host language servers.

    Intellisense: coc.nvim is a good start. It has a large ecosystem and is relatively user-friendly. You install separate extensions for it based on different languages you want, paste in the default settings, and it should just work.

  • vim-airline

    lean & mean status/tabline for vim that's light as air

    General productivity: just using vim and being aware of how it operates is the best for productivity. Also you could try vim-airline.

  • 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.

  • vim-plug

    :hibiscus: Minimalist Vim Plugin Manager

    Use a plugin manager. I recommend vim-plug. The github READMEs for most plug-ins should have instructions for vim-plug; if not it will become obvious how to add arbitrary plugins.
