Setup

Neovim setup

Note: installing vim too so you can access the vimtutor program

Fedora

sudo dnf install git neovim vim-enhanced

MacOS

brew install git neovim vim

Lazyvim setup

If you also want to use Lazyvim, here are the recommended installations steps from the official website: lazyvim.org.

1. Follow commands from the installation page

2. Plugins setup

   • TODO: continue listing my recommended additional plugins...
   • TODO: show a way to quickly install and configure them
   • Setup Neovim for Markdown
     1. Open Lazy (with <space>+l) and choose markdown.nvim and markdown-preview.nvim
     1. cd ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/markdown-preview.nvim && yarn

3. Use Caps Lock as Esc: Vim mode and Neovim asks to use the Esc key all the time but it is very far away from your left hand... Under KDE Plasma, System Settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard -> button at top Key Bindings -> Caps Lock behavior -> entry Make Caps Lock an additional Esc. If you are having a hard time switching to this new key, choose Swap Esc and Caps lock to stop reaching the esc key that will just not work.
