yeah for real! @@lemurza5236 like a few months ago I tried figuring all this stuff out myself and wound up going back to sublime text because I couldn't even figure out the difference between LazyVim and lazy.nvim or how to translate docs for plug/packer into something lazy could accept. literally couldn't even get the :Lazy command to work without just installing the preconfigured version with all the defaults (LazyVim) but I wasn't really happy with the defaults. now, by contrast, I have features in neovim that I didn't even have set up in sublime. I have a really well-organized config that I can modify without fear, I can look at docs for other package managers and translate the code effortlessly into something that works with lazy.nvim (when supported), and on top of that, I FINALLY have proper syntax highlighting and an LSP for svelte files!! which wasn't even covered in this series but it's only *because* of this series that I was able to figure all that stuff out so quickly. I mean I would have eventually come back to it and probably eventually would have figured it out but this series saved me probably a good 6 months to a year of banging my head against millions of google searches and stack overflows and reddit posts lol
I just finished this series too, and I couldn't agree more, this series needs to be regarded as some sort of official documentation, its really helpful
Random tip: since you have separate lua files for each plugin, you can just open `:Lazy` and Sync. You don't have to close and reopen vim. Lazy should auto reload all these files when it detects changes. That also applies all changes to the plugin and keymaps.
Please keep going with this series and update us as with time goes on you change even just a little your config, because this is amazing and you are the best explainer i have ever come across
by the way, you’re using dependencies backwards if a depends on b, c, and d, then when you load a, you also load b,c and d. if you invert it, so you have b, c, and d which each depend on a, when you load b, c, or d, only a will be loaded. this applies in this video specifically to the debuggers. you put the go debugger in the dependencies for nvim-dap, so when you load nvim-dap the go debugger will be loaded, even if you’re trying to debug typescript for example
Aside from the content that's already very good, I also noticed a lot more work being put into the editing and visual effects throughout this series. I hope you continue down this path because it greatly improves the experience for the viewers
Damn you are a savior. I have tried to config Dap-nvim for weeks but always end up with errors. Thank you for the great series of nvim setup tutorial!!!
I've been steadily hipping away at my nvim config for almost a year now and this series was so helpful as a comparison! I initially forked my config from LunarVim and have been customizing it. This series was perfect for that! Thank you for creating this!
This whole series is really great! Thank you! I set up neovim in the past in multiple approaches based on yt tutorials. Never really felt understanding enough to go on on my own. You changed that, I am able to expand the config for my needs without breaking the config. Thank you
This is so far the best neovim series I've watched so far on nvim config. I would love to see a series on nvim plugin development. Lol 😂, super exited to finally dump my super old nvim config, thanks to you!
I can't get over how entertaining you are when explaining whats going on. I really appreciate the background information you provided as to why we ended up where we are with debuggers. You've got such a knack for instructional videos.
I've followed the entire series and now I have perfectly working setup and more importantly I finally understand how to further customize it. Thanks a lot!!!
Thank you so much @typecraft, I used to use nvchad as my neovim but sometimes I cant figure out what conflicts I get under the hood. Since your series, I have revamped all my config and understand what plugins and keymap I put to more
@@typecraft_dev yes please! I'm trying to switch to nvim from Jetbrains and one thing that Jetbrains does really well is their Git intregration. I'd love to learn more about how it is done in nvim!
Thanks a lot for this series. It's by far the best I've seen yet about neovim configuration. I've been a vim user for probably 15 years now, gradually learning more and more vimscript, even did a small plugin back in the day. I made the switch to neovim many years ago (still having a vimrc file that was both neovim and vim compatible, with different plugins loaded depending on the actual host), and made the switch to lua as main config script maybe a year or 2 ago, but didn't understand everything. This series have helped me modularise my configuration, replace some plugins with more modern and simpler alternative, and improve the configuration for other parts, like LSP, while still keeping the settings that work for me. I still have leaving a wee bit of custom vimscript in there, but whatever works.
I don't know if this is the end of the series, but if it is, it was awesome enough! Thank you so much, you've helped me learn about configurations, reading documentation, and vim/neovim, all together This was definitely worth a watch Stay awesome nerd :)
This is a fantastic series you are doing. Especially this last episode 6 on Debuggers. I've been trying to get a similar setup for rust to no avail. You've explained it so clearly in this video, I think may actually get it done.
Another wonderful video in this series. Thanks for putting that together. Since you are a Ruby developer, have you tried setting this up with the Ruby debugger? If so, I'd love to see that.
Amazing series! Recently I've been getting into Vim to see what the fuss was about :D and went through your entire tutorial series and set up my C++ dev environment and honestly I don't think I'll be going back to a (for a lack of a better term) "regular" editor
Great series! I think once the framework part of the series is complete, you should do a deep dive into each plugin. Like, do a deep dive tutorial on all the ins and outs of telescope, harpoon, etc. I am new to linux and neovim, and I want to get the most out of it. I am a visual learner and this series has help so much.
Coolest series, I've ever seen on the neovim topic. Thank you! I am mostly writing bash and terraform configs in nvim, but still I've learned here so many useful features :)
Dude you're like the 4th person I save make a video on this in f****ing Go. I've never written a line of Go. I'm not even sure I could pick it out of a line up of different code... but for the life of me I can't get a good DAP flow going in my own workflow, TS, Python, and occasionally, if I'm feeling adventurous, Swift.
@@IO-_-Ol for cpp i ended up just using gdb, i know it's possible to get it working inside nvim with dap too but after using it a little by itself it's actually fine
Great series, can't thank you enough. I've been using vscode for a while and tried nvim for a while, but this series has me hooked. My question is why start the series with Javascript and Lua and then you install the debugger for Go?
I'd love an episode where you show us how to add Github Copilot integration!!! I'm not sure if you use it already, but I absolutely think you should - such an awesome tool :)
I'll fully install defaultLazyvim, but I'm doing this series just to learn how things work at a lower level (and Lua syntax too), so maybe I can help to put a Swift LSP plugin in the future. It's so sad that we don't have one yet.
Take a look at th-cam.com/video/TLNdwvIFoCg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WULwlnZ9XD23DyOW OR th-cam.com/video/zOQMwWqdp9w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4hQjoKcglV5l6yob for a couple of options for git integration. Let me know which one you like more!
I want to share something, the way you set your dap configs it doesn't actually work for me. I've just had to writte down how it's written on the github help page. The rest of the series is so so so great. Really thankful to you to help me improve my configs.
Would love an additional video about configuring all the new Ruby tooling that’s coming out of Shopify. (And being implemented in VSCode) - Ruby LSP with code actions & semantic highlighting - Ruby debugger via debug gem (rdbg) - Running tests? Because they seem to kinda follow the standards, but are sometimes tricky to get working in anything other than VSCode. Also…. (fuzzy) code navigation using symbols from the LSP. Both globally as to methods and variables and constants within a file.
So... you went through a lot of manual steps to set up the DAP that for golang, for instance, can you just use Mason to setup the DAP for the language that you want??? Or, is there some type of missing linkage?
This feels like it's trying to be a catch all. It might be really simple for go, but it's a different beast altogether for java and I assume other languages. I think this distinction is really necessary. I mean there are literally plugins being developed to make a java development environment more easily achievable within neovim. It takes a good bit of knowledge of Lua and the LazyVim distro itself to get something close to useable. Took me two and a half weeks because of poor Lua and LazyVim knowledge to get something working for Java.
I think there is an additional install Winbar that you had already, but others may not have and therefore no buttons for step over continue etc in dap-ui.
Great video. But I am kinda confused because Mason has a category for DAPs aswell and I am curious on how I can use them together with nvim-dap und dap-ui. Could you make another video on that?
Hi, your course is really great. I am a data scientist and I commonly use R and Python. I would like to use nvim instead of RStudio and Python notebooks, perhaps within screen/byobu to always have one or more sessions active. Would it be possible to have a tutorial on transforming nvim into something similar to RStudio? In particular, I wonder if it's possible to display images remotely, as with RStudio. The same goes for Python notebooks. Thank you.
Glad you're enjoying it! As for the keys, that's just some vim magic. When you're not in insert mode, you can press the following: ct. c - the "change" command will delete text up to a certain point and then it puts you into "insert" mode t - the "till" command combined with the "." runs the "change" command up until the first period it sees. String it together and it means -- delete everything from where the cursor is up until the first period and get into "insert" mode. Type "dap" and boom 💥 - we did it fam.
Thanks for making these videos! I would love to see how I can get python virtual environments (sourced/activated for example in toggleterm) working with the lsp.
It surely dependents on the programming language (and it debugger): But everything beyond a primitive datatype is hard to debug in Neovim. I.e.: Try to get access to the values of a vector in c++, which you wanna debug...
honestly Debuggers just seem a bit more intense to me for some reason. it de-mystified things by just installing a debugger manually first. but you COULD use mason for sure. Just make sure the debugger is in your path and executable!
@@typecraft_dev I agree with that first statement 1000% haha But sorry, I was more meaning setting up mason, nvim-dap, and mason-nvim-dap which bridges the gap between mason and nvim-dap (just like mason-null-ls, same dev). Could you possibly consider making a video about that? I think it would help out a lot of people who are new to neovim with setting up debuggers (including myself lol I'm trying to figure out the javascript debugger)

You got it!
by the way, you’re using dependencies backwards

Mostly because go has a better debugging infrastructure
I wondered about the same thing. By the way, did you manage to get your Javascript debugger working?
Amazing. Should be nice for future ideas and videos an explanation about news on nvim 0.10 or some tricks about lua. Thanks nerd

Yes!

I wish neovim would implement their own dap so that it would get easier to manage. Nevertheless great videos.
Very true. That would be nice

Thanks for the video! FYI I think there's a little desync between your video and audio.
Thanks, now I can make my java debug config better.
Yeah, I have done it! I have finished this course. Where do I get the certificate now?

4:25 what keys you pressed to change require('dap')
Btw, nice video🎉❤
Glad you're enjoying it! As for the keys, that's just some vim magic.

c - the "change" command will delete text up to a certain point and then it puts you into "insert" mode
t - the "till" command combined with the "." runs the "change" command up until the first period it sees.
String it together and it means -- delete everything from where the cursor is up until the first period and get into "insert" mode.
Type "dap" and boom 💥 - we did it fam.
Oh, didn't know you can use f/t commands for that, thanks
I would like to see videos for keymaps like this 😊

It surely dependents on the programming language (and it debugger): But everything beyond a primitive datatype is hard to debug in Neovim.

Why didn't you use Mason to handle debugger installation instead of manually installing nvim-dap-go?
honestly Debuggers just seem a bit more intense to me for some reason. it de-mystified things by just installing a debugger manually first. but you COULD use mason for sure. Just make sure the debugger is in your path and executable!
@@typecraft_dev I agree with that first statement 1000% haha

Is there a way to support you without TH-cam/Google in between?
Love this. In the future we have some big plans. But unfortunately right now memberships is all we have
On your GitHub, It's says, "No need for DAP in my current config." Which Video covers that?
Looks amazing🎉
Hahaha “Now what the hell do you we now?!” 10:45
One of the best for config neovim but i had problem with setting rust can you make a video about it ? along with c
We can just go like :dapinstall instead of exploring the wild wild west right?
Thanks!
Thank YOU

How can you run the codes? Did you install a terminal?
