this is the most beginner-friendly neovim setup video I've found. and I've watched a whole bunch of them. this was the easiest to understand. thanks so much for this!
FYI with WSL2 you can export your system to a tar file that can be then imported on the same machine or other machines. So dumping a distro to start fresh isn't totally detrimental if you make a backup prior.
I had a weird situation where I didn't have the nvim/plugged directory. I fixed it by adding path to `call plug#begin()` making it into `call plug#begin('~/.config/nvim/plugged') ` Hope it helps someone : D
if u didn't use the above command, the /plugged directory would be in ur /.local/nvim/plugged. So yeah, make sure to add the above command to get the same result as the video
thanks for sharing your config and explaining in detail how the vim-plug works. One thing that drives me crazy is you saving, close and reopen vim every time you adjusted your config. just exit insert mode by hitting ESC key and write :source % which will source the current file and voila.
If you guys are facing issues with yarn install and yarn build this is what worked for me: yarn build --ignore-engines then use: yarn run then when prompted for option use: build --ignore-engines
can't thank you enough. I was new to vim / nvim world, coming from Intelli ecosystem. I had skimmed through several video on setting up nvim, but this was the one that helped to set all the things without surprises !

Help. Yarn build @ 25:15 is failing in my system saying "no command build". I tried several things. Should i have a script in package.json for the build or what am i missing?
Heyy, great video as always! But, I would suggest you to update your Neovim setup as it is quite outdated. You can upgrade to native LSP and also use Lua for configuration instead of viml. I would suggest you to do it cuz Lua makes Neovim a lot lot faster than before. Also, there are a lot of new plugins in Lua which are much faster than their viml counterparts.
Hey there! Could you tell me if this Lua configuration and native LSP is stable enough for new nvim users? I was using vim extension on VScode but I wanna try to use neovim as IDE and I'm confused about these new features
@@BrunoArrais1 try giving lunarvim a try. It's neovim already setup with all the plugins you need. So you'll be able to use all the IDE like functionality right away. You might still want to make your own config later, but it's a great start if you just want to get a feel for what neovim can be like. Feel free to ask any more questions
can you write me some tips to do so, i would like to start coding python in nvim (i used vscode so far). But i dunno where to start to have a good config. I just learnt some macros of vim and installed jedi
@@francescojamesfanti973 th-cam.com/video/5r6yzFEXajQ/w-d-xo.html Watching this video will give you a lot of great info and walkthrough of how to use Vim in a useful way.

And keep in mind that you should definitely train a little bit on some of the core Vim key bindings for navigating and editing before you stress about getting all your fancy plugins set up
Thank you very much BRO, your video is not just sequence of step of copy paste but with explanations and in a good manner. Now it's clear how to run plugins😎
@@roronoazoro-lh1jz It sources the current file, meaning you must first :w then :so%. If you just :w, it'll edit the config file but it won't then apply those config changes to the current session.

amazing tutorial, super simple! i use nvim for quick scripting, not looking forward to replace my jetbrains ide when it comes to java/golang nor vscode for python, but nvim kind of motivates me to learn lua/ruby
@ 20:30 i had to search a bit for the plugged folder cause it"s not where it is in the tutorial. So i added "call plug#begin('~/.config/nvim/plugged')" the dir to the init and installed the pluggins again.
Started to watch then you stated running this in WSL. Which is so backwards, Run windows in a VM on a linux hardware install. So much more secure and easier.
thanks you so much! I've found this a really good tutorial, I could understand the way how VIM work with folders and the 'plug vim'. Now its more clear on how to also config the vim init. Thank u Thank u
Huge Thanks for videos man, they are so helpful. Took some time to recognize how to copy/paste in neovim and i got some additional errors. Hope i'll use neovim for writing code instead of vscode and continue understanding linux.
this would have been super useful when I was working on a python project for work about a year ago going to book mark this and setup my vim for a more functional vim ide
Not sure if this is still relevant, but: I encountered the same problem, most probably you use a mac os. I, myself, found a plugged directory in ~/.local/share/nvim/ ( .local is hidden dir, so it appears after "ls -a" command ) Hope, that it was helpful
So what you have to do is go inside .local/share/nvim/plugged, a totally different path. First, open a terminal, do ls -a then do cd .local then do cd share then do ls then do cd plugged/ there you go
how did you get the auto complete for the vim commands? did i miss it in the video or it's supposed to be like that from the start? because i have to type all the commands exactly it's not showing autocomplete or anything for there. like the autocomplete for text is working fine, but it's not showing up for the commands Anyway, Thanks so much for the video, it was really helpful!!

with coc, how did you select the suggestion words? without the config file setup, the enter key or any other key won't work. Or does it got the default key to select the word?
I had some difficulty locating it on Windows. If I had checked in the explorer or used `ls` for once, I would have noticed the 'nvim-data' folder alongside the 'nvim' folder. This 'nvim-data' folder contains the 'plugged' folder where you run yarn. But instead, I spent about 2 hours searching everywhere else... I couldn't find any references online about where to find the 'plugged' folder on Windows, or i did not search good enough i guess ^^
Thanks, I got my first nvim set up with vim-plug, vim-airline and somehow I even got coc.vim working! I'm on debian so I appreciated that you didn't do a windows only tutorial.
I've installed a NerdFont on Windows but it doesn't show up in the font options for WSL terminal like it's meant to. How do I make it show up so that I have the icons?
Ok, so I have been doing everything as you, but for some reason :PlugInstall command does not work. Also while manually typing in :set number, no words have been hihglited. Can you please help me with that?
replace `call plug#begin()` with `call plug#begin('~/.config/nvim/plugged')` I did a `:PlugClean` before `:PlugInstall`. Make sure node and yarn are on there latest stable versions.

@@blankcheckguy69 because it lacks a UI it's faster but also once you get the hang of the Vim commands, you can code 10x faster
