vim

i love vim; it feels like a super power. here are some miscellanious links, notes, references related to vim and neovim.

history

Many refer to all of these things as "vim":

- [vi] - bill joy - 1976

- [vim]>) - bram boolenaar - 1991

- [neovim]#Neovim>) - 2015

i find it really awesome to see how many other things have a "vi mode" or

otherwise try to capitalize on the same type of keybindings. for example, in

bash you can run `set -o vi` to set your keybindings to the same as vi. and

even if you are using the newest plugins with neovim, the core code navigation

that vi first helped popularize is still available on just about any unix machine.

- if you're just getting started with neovim, i would highly recommend checking

out the [kickstart.nvim] project

, which feels like it gives you the majority of the essential plugins without

making you copy a giant configuration you don't understand. it's honestly a

great project to copy and then modify as you go forward, its also small

enough to understand as you go through it

- [neovimcraft] has a great selection of plugins that are

ranked and filtered in a way that is useful for figuring out how to solve the

problem you need.

- when i was first introduced to vim by my manager at the time, justin force,

he told me to just play [vim adventures]. its a

cute video game that teaches you the "hello world" type of navigation when

getting started

- [vim from the ground up]

- [TJ DeVries] has a

[youtube-channel] that covers a lot of

different aspects of learning, extending, and otherwise utilizing neovim. he

is a core developer of neovim and also an author of multiple popular plugins
