I just published a practical guide to @neovim and LazyVim.

Not a “learn everything at once” guide, but a realistic starting point: why use Neovim in 2026, how modal editing works, the commands that actually matter, text objects, LSP, lazy.nvim, and a gradual method to learn without getting lost.

For anyone who wants a lighter, keyboard-driven, open-source, and highly portable editing environment.

Hands-on guide to Neovim and LazyVim: why use it in 2026, modal editing, essential commands, text objects, LSP, fuzzy finder, plugin management with lazy.nvim, and a realistic method to learn.

I am enjoying neovim plugin https://github.com/esmuellert/codediff.nvim for reviewing git changes/history to the point that i have a alias in my git aliases:

[alias]
diffc = "!f() { args=\"$@\"; [ -z \"$args\" -a -z \"$(git status --porcelain)\" ] && args=\"HEAD~1\"; diff -c \":CodeDiff ${args}\"; }; f"

my lazy.vim config on how i configure it is here:

I haven't even tried nor have I even research much. But if I were going to return an older system as a dedicated distraction free IDE with only neo/lazy vim and lazy git and a few other minimal terminal based tools..can I run multi monitor without a GUI?

Just tried #LazyVim …

… and _now_ I understand why people prefer #NeoVim to #Vim and how it inspired #Helix

This makes (Neo)Vim actually fun :)

And the book is great at introducing you to (Lazy/Neo)Vim too:

#vim/#neovim scrolling:
- top/bottom: gg/G
- page up/page down: Ctrl+B/Ctrl+F (or... PgUp/PgDn, duh!)
- scroll w/o moving cursor: Ctrl+E/Ctrl+Y
- scroll to put current line at top/middle/bottom: zt/zz/zb
- move cursor to top/middle/bottom of screen: H/M/L (note: H and L are remapped by #LazyVim)

@[email protected] try #neovim with plug-in #lazyvim if you won't spend much time for configuration just follow the guides, or #vim/#vi
They're the old-school you looking for. And about steam most #Linux supports steam. I guess #Archlinux supports it as well.

Intentando aprender #neovim con #lazyVim despues de años sin tocar vim y solo accediendo a maquinas por SSH por terminal, no se para que pero por ahora me intriga... 🤷

@yazad3 In my experience the price must be paid. Either at the start by studying the thing, or later on when some preconfiguration breaks (and then you study the thing) 🙂

I recall #lazyvim being easy to set up, and I consider myself more of a neovim dabbler than expert.

Hi #neovim experts! If I want to try out neovim, is there a setup that already comes preconfigured with basic tooling like telescope? Or is my best bet to download #lazyvim and watch a 6 part video series?
