Neovim 0.7 Released

• neovim

  1,384 76,256 10.0 Vim Script

  Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability

  

For that to work, you'll need the 'wait' versions of the remote flags. Those are still being worked on in a PR, but I'm hoping to finish them up by the next release: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/17856

That said, this sort of remote opening has been possible in Neovim since the client-server stuff was added in the early days. This is only adding the remote editing flags and implementation to Neovim itself to make it easier.

Neovim-remote(https://github.com/mhinz/neovim-remote#typical-use-cases) is an outside-of-Neovim way to do it with the Python client. It has an $EDITOR setting listed there. Or if you don't want to use Python, you can use invim(https://github.com/groves/invim#to-use-as-your-git-commit-me...). It's just a shell script. Or you can wait for the next release!

  2 2 0.0 Vim Script

Mouse is off by default. Again, why? I get that it's a terminal editor, but if the technology is there to allow me to select text with my mouse, why do we need act like luddites?

After setting up my .vimrc file with sane defaults and a bit of an attempt to use the editor in earnest, my conclusion is that Vim/Neovim is just a bad editor.

I want more from my editors.

Here's a .vimrc file that attempts to make Vim and compatible editors more like Visual Studio Code, Atom, and Sublime Text:

https://github.com/andrewmcwatters/dotfiles/blob/main/.vimrc

And it's still bad.

• kok.nvim

  60 3,355 9.3 Python

  Fast as FUCK nvim completion. SQLite, concurrent scheduler, hundreds of hours of optimization.

One of the more popular and recent LSP autocompletion plugins is written in python: https://github.com/ms-jpq/coq_nvim It appears to work pretty well for them.

• remote-pbcopy-iterm2

  2 224 1.8 Go

  remote pbcopy for iTerm2

Tmux has support visual mode (at least character and line), I use it all the times.

I don't remember if it's enabled by default, but I have this in my ~/.tmuxrc (where pbcopy is the excellent https://github.com/skaji/remote-pbcopy-iterm2/blob/master/pb...)

  # Enable vi mode

• which-key.nvim

  115 4,413 6.8 Lua

  💥 Create key bindings that stick. WhichKey is a lua plugin for Neovim 0.5 that displays a popup with possible keybindings of the command you started typing.

I've been using vim (neovim) for more years than I can count, but there is still so many movements that doesn't stick in my head, probably because I don't use them so much.

I recently came across the which-key.nvim (https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim) neovim plugin, which helped me a lot to speed up finding what movement I want to do. It basically shows you a popup with what combinations are possible after you press any key (while nvim waits for the next one), so you can basically explore commands by just pressing keys, instead of having to look them up.

  VS Code in the browser

  

> I can use my editor over ssh and edit anywhere, I don't need a GUI to even be installed on the system where I have all of my cores and RAM for compiling the kernel,

I can use VS Code in the browser: https://github.com/coder/code-server

> it starts up instantly,

I launch my editor once a day. Why do you need to keep killing and starting your editor?

> and it's completely free and open source,

OK, so is VS Code, or at least the OSS version, which has all the key features anyway.

> not driven by a corporation,

So this is your philosophy.

> and there's decades of documentation on how to use it.

Most of it out of date, probably.

> I guess it's the systems developer in me

Guess what? I'm a systems developer too! I also work on the kernel! But I use VS Code.

> that can't fathom someone that wants to use a tool to make a living without understanding it fully and being able to tweak it to their exact liking over the course of their entire career

VS Code is open source, so there's nothing stopping me from diving in if I need to.

Now that I've answered all the supposed benefits you list about (neo)vim, I have one question:

Can (neo)vim show text in two different font sizes? Or fonts? Like, what if I want my documentation popups to show up in a sans-serif font?
