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.
