To go to the same place you were in a document after closing, use vim sessions. You issue a ":mksess!" and vim will drop a Session.vim file in your current directory. This will store all the docs you had open and where you were in them. Then when you start vim, do "vim -S" to take you back to exactly where you were.

I love Latex. Definitely can be overkill sometimes compared to markdown tho.

@Ahk all the way! welcome :D

I've been using the vim-pencil plugin for navigating through text lines (not vim lines). As soon as it's activated, I can move from line to line in a paragraph , no extra configuration required. I hope this helps; thanks to your tiling WM ricing live streams, I've finally made some dotfiles I'm happy with after only a few weeks with linux. Your channel is a wealth of digestible information for beginners and I've been thoroughly enjoying your content since I've discovered it. Keep up the great content!

Why don't just add bindings for that?

Thanks for the markdown auto-format info! I'd just started looking into that. Also for goyo, that's awesome! Here are some more that I've added for this specific purpose, including the long line navigation issue you mentioned. " Navigate up and down long lines with j and k nnoremap j gj nnoremap k gk " remap scrolling (up, down) noremap noremap " keep cursor in center of screen set so=999 " :set so=0 to turn off " jump to last position when opening file if has("autocmd") au BufReadPost * if line("'\"") > 0 && line("'\"")

Also install which-key , which helps you remember key shortcuts.

Another helpful video. Your comment, "I'm speaking American" at time stamp 09:33 reminded me of a book I have, called, "The American Language." I have the Fourth edition by H. L. Mencken, printed in 1937. It is a seven hundred plus page historical overview about the beginnings of U.S. English and all the words it adopted from other languages around the world. The first edition can be found and read for free online, at Project Gutenberg. Thanks. : )

Thank you, sir. This was helpful. We have a similar use case, and turns out most people aren't using these tools for writing.

These are great tips; thanks! I didn't even know Vim could do markup, and I use it pretty regularly.

you had the answer that I needed. Thank you so much!

You can use underscore instead of asterisk. Speach impediment circumvented 😁

Great video

The goyo plugin seems pretty interesting, I'll have to give that one a shot

If you use neovim, maybe it's better to use a 'fork' of the goyo written in lua.

Thanks for the video Matt! LLAP

There are multiple issues (e.g. image support, gui-like statusline/bufferline support, minimap support) that just aren't possible in vim/neovim right now without some hacky workarounds. Emacs's GUI-specific capabilities still beat neovide(the most advanced neovim GUI), as its a gui-centric editor (as opposed to neovim, which is tui-centric and renders as a set grid). (c) one of the authors of neovide

I use vanilla vim. I found that the more plugins you install the more issues you have. So for a fast config edit I use vim and try to learn emacs for everything else.

@Ahk all the way! as long you ate on vscode, use the neovim plugin, it is better, it run neovim in the background and use vscode as a frontend.

c-d for down and c-u for up, this will move a half page and this is easier to follow

just use vim for 1 week as the only tool if you can use it you do, then you start finding Vim easier to use then any thing else and after a mouth, you will be better with vim then any thing else

For distraction free writing you should consider using neovim with zen-mode. Also asciidoc is a lot more flexible and capable than markdown and slowly is becoming the standard.

It sounds to me like you should be using doom emacs and org mode

Not a big deal, but "LaTeX" is pronounced "Lah-tech", not "Lah-tex". The X at the end is a Greek Chi. By default, pandoc uses LaTeX as its backend when it converts to pdf.

Substitute Ctrl-B and Ctrl-F for PgUp and PgDn.

You forgot one very important tip. :! emacs

Dump vim and install emacs for Org mode, that's how.
