Hi everyone - remember to visit my community channel to give me suggestions on new videos to do and to stay up to date with everything that i'm working on: kzread.infocommunity

This is honestly the best video on managing vim I've ever come across. I especially love your approach to plugin management with submodules. I'm definitely adopting that. You're an excellent teacher!

(Relatively) new vim user here This is helping me really understand how vim works and how to manoeuvre around vim and making it look great

I'm so glad it's helping! As a relatively user, what do you think of the pace of this video? Is it easy to digest? One of my biggest goals in making all these videos is to ensure anyone with any amount of experience can learn at a good pace.

By far one of the (if not THE) greatest talk I've ever come across on vim.. watched both of your vim videos... Creating symlinks along with submodules just blew me away.. Never thought I would use them this way... Thanks a lot dude for the effort and such a lucid talk !! Loved it !!

Switched to vim (neovim) about two years ago, and just found a few of your talks. Thanks so much for making these, really informative and super helpful. Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with the community.

First person I've seen who loves osc 52 as much as I do. It changed my work life. No more need to run an X server in Windows and deal with other complications...

Been waiting for this my man. Can't wait to learn through this video. You're the next big thing.

This is the kind of video I was looking for! Completely revolutional! Thank you!

I would love if you could all leave some feedback about the structuring of the talk! I'm thinking of making future videos more specific and digestible, 10-15 minutes in length, instead of broad and deep like this one. Thoughts?

This was too high level for me, but I still enjoyed it a lot! That being said, I think the length is a bit over the top, although the content is crazy well organized. I personally think you should do a mini series with part 1-4 or smth like that where it is more digestible.

I use vim daily and understood the video. I like the long videos with timestamps because it mimics a virtual classroom. There something about covering more then one subject that allow myself to not only grasp a topic, but identify areas where I am weak at, in this case the runtimepath and its directories. I wouldn't change much; maybe a warning for the upcoming swears, but that didn't bother me at all. Overall great video that left me wanting to dive deeper into the runtimepath to learn more and I feel like the video over an hour cause it takes over an hour to discuss it.

Id like specific topics on customized Vim foe specific purpose.. i use Vim to write reports so i use the goyo.vim plugin but struggle with limelight. All because I don't know the FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES of HOW VIM HANDLES COLOR: syntax highlighting, background color, etc.. in different terminals, including MS Gvim Gui.

Monumental achievement. Best vim video I’ve seen. I learned a lot here. That thing where the output of a command is different when it’s piped to grep is probably because when programs are outputting to stdout, etc., they can infer if the output is going to a tty and they might output stuff differently depending. What can be helpful is oftentimes when a program does this it will have command line switches to force the output to be one way or another, and/or options like -no-color.

Run through of your entire vimrc, a series/long video on making a plugin (perhaps a neovim lua based plugin would be the best now), a run-through of your workflow (sounds like your using go now so perhaps go through your setup such as go-pls language server with coc, vim-fugitive for source-control, navigating through quick-fix list and fixing golinting issue.

I'm still fairly new to vim. But I must say this breakdown and explanation is absolutely amazing. Everything you presented was extremely well thought out and we'll spoken. One question I have that I didn't or could've very well have missed it but in the very beginning of the video I saw when you showed your version of vim I was wondering how did you get vim compiled with native clipboard support. If you could perhaps let me know how you did it or point me where I can find the information I would be much appreciative. Again thank you for taking the time to respond if you do and you've definitely got a new subscriber!!!

@leeren_

Thank you very much! To do this you need to compile Vim with clipboard support enabled. What platform are you running Vim on? You would be compiling it with `./configure --enable=clipboard` as one of the added options. Feel free to DM me on twitter or something.

@leeren_

Thanks for watching! I haven't tried vim-plug before. I used to use Vundle and Pathogen, but ever since the release of native 3rd party plugin management, I didn't really see the need for an external variant. As explained in the video, native plugin management is so easy. You just git clone your plugin into ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start or ~/.vim/pack/plugins/opt/ (for dynamically loaded ones) and that's it. I'm not sure what external 3rd party plugin managers can do that the native one can't. And for plugin management all I ever really do is installs and deletes. So I don't see the point of using them, personally.

I have a naive question: is it necessary to use those plug-in managers, wouldn't it be better to use the OS package manager (apt, yum, whatever)? Same applies, of course, to python things, node stuffs, Firefox extensions, etc. After a while, managing numerous plugins on a GNU/Linux system becomes a real hassle, with desperation when that marvelous plug-in you loved becomes incompatible with your Thunderbird new version, for instance.
