It's stupid how some people modify #vim so heavily with plugins and themes. To the point where they actually needed something more in #neovim.

I'm happy with my 39 line ~/.vimrc and 0 plugins.

Until this is resolved, I'll be using console Vim, which does ship with Bluefin Stable.

I generally prefer gVim because I use the system clipboard a lot, and it's slightly easier with a GUI app. I also use the mouse a bit. That's the kind of Vimmer I am.

I can make it work with console #Vim, and that's probably better for me in the long run.

I would have moved to #Neovim GUI #Neovide, but my .vimrc does not work, and it would be a heavy lift to re-create it.

New post: Neovim Crash Course for Sysadmins

Not a beginner's guide. This covers the things you still get wrong after years of Vim - efficient navigation, why your paste lands in the wrong place (and the one-key fix), YAML indentation workflows, quick macros, and what Neovim's LSP actually gives you for infrastructure work.

Written for people who edit configs and playbooks all day.

#neovim #vim #sysadmin #devops #linux #ansible #yaml

I am using it primarily with modal editors. Now #Helix, used to be #Neovim. Works really well with both. Even though the layout is completely different, in modal editors I just reach for the right letter. The only exception are hjkl for movement, but I have arrow keys mapped on homerow in the same way. Not only I don't have trouble with my muscle memory in vim/hx but I also brought it to all other applications :D
