​@@mixed_nuts The general idea is that JK, as your two strongest home-row keys (for the right hand) form a sort of action pair (in this case, up/down). Then, HL form another pair (left/right) around that. As a bonus, this avoids occupying your pinky, since it's comparatively weak. If an arrow-key arrangement makes more sense, go for it, but be prepared for confused glances from other vimmers :)

Thank you! I've been using Jetbrains for probably a decade already, and your videos convinced me to learn neovim. It's really not as hard as it seems, I'm on day 2 of using neovim exclusively and already good enough to not get lost. And holy shit, just exploring all the vim commands and figuring out how to combine them... when I experiment with something a little bit more complex, wondering "will this actually work?" and it ends up doing exactly what I wanted, that really gives such nice dopamine hit like no other software I've ever worked with.

Would be curious to see your debugging workflow, if anyone else has interest in that sort of thing. It definitely seems like a pain point in the setup/usage of vim/neovim, and it's usually the thing I find myself reverting to an IDE for.

You've switched me to a rose-pine color theme and helped me a lot in getting started with vim. I've never had more fun navigating using vim motions. It's so fricking cool. Thank you!

Please make that total walkthrough you mentioned in this video of how to be a productive beast of a programmer using the tools you do. I am 21, new to the real side of programming and web dev. Thank you for your videos they have been enlightening me to the world of programming like no other channel has.

I am really inspired by your videos and moved completely to vim and just love it. Thanks for all this amazing content.

I'd love to see different configurations and workflows, this was really inspiring and awesome to see the different tools being used

Yes the vim vid I needed! I was using your config and some of these stuff I would’ve never known or figured out how to do on my own. Thanks 🙏

There's some really great navigation stuff in this video. I would love to get this fast some day. I'm working my way into using Neovim as my daily driver, but so far I can only really use it effectively when editing single files. I use vim keybindings on VSCode, because I understand how the files and navigation and stuff works, and all that stuff, but I would love to learn more about how buffers, windows, tabs, etc. work in Neovim. As of now I just end up feeling so claustrophobic with multiple files or an integrated terminal as I often just lose track of them or forget the shortcuts to navigate around/manage windows/buffers.

Appreciate this (almost as much as your chat with casey) - learning vim at the moment so videos like this are really helpful in understanding how the pieces fit together.

Thanks for the demo. Very inspiring! You made me switching from Vim to NeoVim, good sir. I'm also a dvorak typist so your keybindings were perfect (esp. Harpoon). I've also used Lazy as my plugin manager (works the same except "nvim " only loads Netrw and the colorscheme).

amazing video!! would love a "how to use your terminal" with your transitions between command line, project in neovim and neovim config

Yes…that’s the stuff. Please keep digging deeper into the vim workflow. Simply amazing. Let’s go!1

Excellent video. You are a skilled programmer that is for sure. You blaze through things so fast. I realize that vim is the only tool for you because of your focus on doing something.

He talks about on stream that in hindsight he'd remap the special characters instead of using Dvorak. It took me only a month to switch cold turkey to get back to my qwerty speed. A custom layout is probably ideal. Dvorak is a bit too right hand heavy imho

I'm very interested in seeing how does debugging work in neovim. I'm using CLion & PyCharm and that those things are beasts. It takes me a few seconds to set a conditional breakpoint and pause the main thread called from a failing test. I can see the callstack, variables in each stack, maybe even play a bit in debug console to inspect in detail where is the problem is.

The intro described me very accurately.
