Setting up good vim workflow as a beginner

• vim-lsp

  81 3,019 6.4 Vim Script

  async language server protocol plugin for vim and neovim

Vim doesn't have (yet) native LSP support. Neovim does, but even then I prefer vim-lsp plugin

• vim-easymotion

  47 7,361 0.0 Vim Script

  Vim motions on speed!

  

And I think the best way to learn vim is to just sort of jump in and start working. When you need to figure out how to do something, read the docs or google it. That will be WILDLY uncomfortable, but after a little while it'll feel like second nature to you. What might help is using the Easymotion plugin as well (https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion). I still use it because it makes navigation really simple.

• InfluxDB

• fzf

  407 59,920 9.6 Go

  :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder

There are a few plugins that I really like that help my workflow: 1. FZF (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf). Forget nerdtree or another file explorer. FZF has all of that covered but works even better. You'll be able to navigate your code amazingly fast with FZF. It's crazy how good FZF is, read the docs and see.

• YouCompleteMe

Youcompleteme for auto completion (https://github.com/ycm-core/YouCompleteMe). Though I've been told that there are much better options. It's what I started with, so I've kept using it.
