Neovim Again

After almost 5 years of using Vscode, I am again seriously giving Neovim a shot.
A bunch of folks in my immediate circle use Neovim which was the main trigger for this.

I decided to use Lazyvim as a distro for this.
My requirements from a text editor are quite small.

  • fast (this is where vscode sucked the most)
  • search text and files
  • Look up code (definitions and references)
  • Edit markdown decently well.

Turns out Neovim does most these quite well. The key-bindings are sane and not very difficult to memorize.
Most importantly they are very similar in both Mac and Linux so I have less things to switch from.

Caveat

I am not sure if neovim will support the Foam plugin in vscode that I use extensively. If not then I will write a plugin myself. I need to use this plugin.

Stay tuned for more updates.
