🚨🚨🚨 DISCLAIMER 🚨🚨🚨
I incorrectly refer to lua tables as "tuples" in this video. For some reason my brain was stuck on the word "tuple". But really an object inside curly braces is called a "table" in lua. thanks!

This is the first nvim setup video where I actually understand what's going on. Thank you 😊
Happy to hear that! My goal was to make it understandable
hahah, true
this is so true 🤣
exactly, others are just - do this, do that, and then boom.
I LOVE that this video is in a more calm tempo, and you can follow mistakes happening. That really helps understanding this on a better level. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Been learning Vim for a week, and so far it's been such a blast. Love the keybindings.
I went with NvChad to reduce the necessity for configs, and this series couldn't come at a more perfect time ! Thank you =)
requirements :
1. ripgrep
2. neovim 0.9.0 or newer
3. fd
4. c compiler (gcc and g++)
Just wanted to say that I'm so thankful for your explanations on everything. I am new to neovim and every other configuration video does not go into nearly as much detail. Thank you so much, man!
This was a fabulous introduction. I've been using neovim for a while, but this walk through really helped me better understand what everything is.
My lua file is now quite a bit smaller and I am a lot happier! :)
Nice!!!
Excellent video. You do a great job of breaking down each tool and config so we can expand upon it! Keep up the great work
It's worth mentioning that you need to have ripgrep installed if you want to use the find grep command
Yep, I was just about to write the same comment.
to install in windowes
choco install ripgrep
I've been thinking about moving away from LazyVim and customising my config a but more to my liking, this is the perfect push! Looking forward to the rest of the episodes! Hopefully I'll have something ready over the holiday break
The abstract syntax tree explanation was fantastic. Wish I had something like that when I was learning to configure neovim.
Thank you!
Hey man, you are really good in making such a complicated subject easy. Was blindly following others' config and then I bumped into your videos. Now I have a better grasp of the entire thing. Thanks a lot!!
I'm using VSCode + Vim but with this I'll be able to make the switch. Really needed someone to make configuration look simple. Thank you!
I am loving this series because you are also telling why and how and now i understand what i am doing instead of just copying and pasting.
I really loved the video; it was super helpful! I just started playing around with Neovim a few days ago, and it was all so confusing. But your explanation was so clear that now when I check out the lua.init file (I now get why it's called "lua.init" and why it's supposed to be in the ~/config/nvim folder), I understand most of it. Thanks a bunch! Excited for the upcoming episodes in the series!
Outstanding! As a longtime vim user (almost chose eMacs 20 years year) I am super happy to find your channel. Wonderful explanations! I wish I had something similar back in the day.
Cheers and I’ll be coming back for more!
I really hope there's more courses like this which shows instant result in what we are learning . Most of the time i can't visualize the thing i learn and what its true purpose are . Great video. Need more of your videos !
Love it! thank you for walking us through and explaining every line in detail, best Neovim course on YT!
Thank you!
Great series! Awesome engagement with the end user and you can fully understand the entire time. SUBBED!
Amazing content, i really needed this. To understand what is happening in all the files, and so good explanation. Keep it going my man!
Thanks man for taking the time to explain what each config and plugins do. All other tutorials out there is trying to a speedrun as if everyone already knows what all those configs and plugins are!
Oh this is a fresh tutorial! Sweet! I will watch eagerly for updates
Great video! One suggestion to add to your notes: for live grep to work, ripgrep is required. I wouldn't have known where to look if you had not provided so many great links. Thank you very much.
For anyone who also has this issue (like I did) another way to find the right place to look is to run ":checkhealth telescope" after installing. This works with other packages as well.
thank you very much bro
Thanks for this! I found your explanations informative easy to follow. Looking forward to part 2
Hi, I just discovered your channel. Thank you for this amazing tutorial. The ecosystem is overwhelming to make the jump from vim inside vscode to a neovim that behaves like an ide. Now only do I understand HOW better but WHY. I’m forever grateful and I can’t wait for future episodes!
You just cannot imagine how overwhelmed i was when first learning, this video is the only one that i can understand
I love NeoVim, please make episode for Java configuration, it is very hard to me to make it work for Lombok and UnitTesting I would switch from IntelliJ if those features could work properly on NeoVim.

Hey, so I want to save you some time because I’ve been wondering the same thing and shopping around on forums, Reddit, TH-cam, etc. there is just no way unless you’re going to spend an absurd amount of time to get even remotely the same functionality as IntelliJ. Trust me, I’ve tried. And even if you wanted to just use it for Java, it’s still not even good enough in my opinion, especially when you have something like IntelliJ to compare it to. Don’t let what I’m saying stop you, but I think it’s gonna have to take some kind of change in technology or maybe the advancement of AI or something because for right now it just takes way too much work configuration and having to deal with a lot of annoyances to use Neovim and proper Java development.
For Java, you should stick to intellij, trust me … you will spend more time getting small things working in nvim than actually doing your work .
@@ravikumarjha6926 thank you for your advice, actually I use Intellij, but i'm some cases I switch to Neovim sometimes simply because I like it more, also the use of terminal commands instead of a GUI keeps my mind agile. I use Intellij only for Java, like Linux user and frontend developer or kubernetes all my work has to do with terminal, tmux and vim/neovim.
@@DanielZapata-jv4uxcame here to say this. You're 100% correct. Save yourself the time and don't try. You can get LSP and basic stuff working, but you are not going to recreate IntelliJ. Personally, I don't find that's the end of the world. Not having certain things has a way of making you reassess whether you really need it. In some cases, you just reached for stuff because it was there. Or, there's some other workflow you can adjust to that accomplishes the same thing. I have IntelliJ installed and open it occasionally for Kotlin stuff, though in my case it's more for completely proprietary stuff that IntelliJ provides, such as generating OpenAPI spec for a given Ktor application.
This is exactly what I needed. Looking forward to the next episodes !!
Thanks!!
Dude i am beyond grateful for this. You are an awesome content creator, keep going dude!
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much, you are so underrated!
This is by far the best nvim setup video. Thank you so much.
Loved it, looking forward to the next episode! Especially the basics of „talking to vim“ have been interesting.
Love the structure, pace, and teaching style of your videos. I was determined to learn neovim over the weekend and I found myself just copying other youtuber's dotfiles and not really understanding how things were working under the hood. I decided to start over with your tutorial and do things slowly to learn from the feedback loop for each plugin added. Thanks for taking the time to make this series.
Glad to help!
Thank you for making this video. Look forward to the next ones in the series
Thank you so much for this series, absolute godsent!
this is by far the best video for setting up Neovim and so enjoyable!!
one of the best video on how to setup neovim. so easy to follow and it works.
Great tutorial, looking forward to see next episode!😄
Amazing video! Keep it up! Can't wait to watch episode 2!
Thanks!
I would like to say a big "THANK YOU" to you. This is a great video. I'm working as a programmer and from my perspective, I do not have the right understanding what is actually happening when using Eclipse and all other tools provided by my company. So I started a side project with C++ and I'm using NEOVIM so far. Everything that has to be done is done manually or by scripts written by myself. This isn't as productive as it could be for now, but it feels good to know what happening at all time. This workflow helps me to develop a far more in-depth understanding of what I am doing. So, I enjoy your setup, and I'm already excited for episode two.
Awesome glad to hear it!
this is quality content. it seems like you've started your channel over a year ago, but it will blow up in popularity anytime soon
Here’s hoping 🤞
This is the only video that I came across with a clear explanation on creating a config for beginners
This was so unbelievably pleasant and easy to follow q-q thank you so much
Amazing as always! You gave me the best tool for IT work, thank you!
this is what I was waiting for, thank you :)
finally a good Neovim tutorial, Thanks for the content, it's really amazing!
Awesome videos! I've always wanted to get into vim as an IDE, but there is a jungle outside. Now I have a clear path, thank you!
You are doing the Lord's work. Learned so much new in the first 10 min already!
That is what I was looking for...thank you for the easy and understandable approach in this video, help me a lot.
that was great !!!!!!!!!!! jumping into the next episode - really fantastic learning experience. THank you !
This is freaking awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Finally, I found my Vim Guru!! Simple and easy to understand explanation.
A very well paced video with great explanations. Learned a lot from this! Thank you!
Thanks!
Thanks for this man, my goal is to have a dope neovim setup that I fully understand and wrote from scratch. I have played around with LazyVim and LunarVim but I don't understand how to change keymaps and all that. I use vim every day inside vscode and can't imagine ever getting away from it. Looking forward to more episodes!
Finally! Someone who can explain this clearly !
Amazing
Amazing explanation and pace . Keep up the awesome work
Loved it, we need more content like this!!!!
Thank you. The most important is not see the things works but know how it works.
eagerly waiting for future episodes. 👍👍👍
Excellent tutorial! If telescope's grep command isn't working for anyone here, make sure you have the system package "ripgrep" installed on your os :)
yes! I forgot I already had that installed great callout
^^^^^^^^^^^^
THIS
Oh God, Thank U
Thanks!
Thanksss
Very comprehensive video, thank you!
Thank you for all hard work and amazing tutorial !
big huge thank you for such professional and quality content. absolute hero 🎉😊
Bro... Thank you so much. I was struggling to setup nvim since I'm still new to it. Every tutorial I've seen before are either too complicated or they don't explain anything, just straight up puts random codes in the editor (random for me at least). Again, thank you!!
Awesome and helpful content, amazing voice and speech, and remarkable music in the background! Thanks a lot, man! It's just great content to watch and study! Please, don't stop =)
Loved reading this thank you!
Very informative thank you very much. One suggestion I could make would be to include links to the specific github repository mentioned, obviously I can google them but it would rule if I could just open all of them at once from the description of the video
God, finally an nvim setup video I can understand! Thank you oh so much good sir!
Wao, What a video it is. Man this is the best video, I've seen explaining about nvim configs like in this easy to digest manner, every other video felt so dens. Couldn't keep up as a beginner to nvim. Thanks
Glad it helped!
Thank you. I think the best explained video about Neovim. Well done!
10/10 for leaving the little mistakes here and there in the final video
Thanks for tutorial. I was using Vim but this modular configuration is great!
I'm migrating my classic vim setup over to neovim & lua and this series has been very useful. Thanks!. One slight wrinkle I've run across is that nvim-treesitter has a hard dependency on a c / c++ compiler being present otherwise it vomits error messages when it starts.
In my case I'm using an immutable linux with containerised developer environments so there's no dev tooling in the host system. Consequently I've skipped nvim-treesitter.
cant wait for more. Thank you
Thank you, like many others, I found this to be a very well detailed and informative guide to configuring nVim. I have successfully configured nVim for a 50+ user system that will be used to teach C++.
Great starting point, very good explanation of all the moving parts that you need to get started
💪👍✅
Thank you! I'm excited to bring out the next episode
This is exactly the tutorial I needed!
Nice video! Love the new setup!
hey thanks!
Absolutely love it. Your videos are excellent 👌
AstroNvim!!! :D Great Nvim setup, full development environment.
Thank you, this looks very promising. I can't wait for the next parts of your tutorial. I've always struggled with neovim, but finally, I can become 'hackerman' 😁
😀
This is a great video! Tree sitter has always been a doosy for me and thos was great but I think I might need to configure it more for my programming use cases..
Thanks for great step by step explanation!
Your videos are amazing. Thank you for your contributions
the best setup tutorial out there.
You the G, with this I shall start my journey
Great video series. Thank you!
Excellent presentation of what I consider to be a pretty complicated application.
Hi! I'm beginner with Neovim and your video helped me a lot! I'll be watching your next videos for sure, can't miss it :)
I have just a suggestion, you might want to use some sort of an app to show your keystrokes, this actually helps a lot, but just if you want!
You’re not the first to suggest this so I’ll definitely look into it thanks!
we need episode 2 right now
Coming from webstorm, that "record macro" trick at ~6:00 felt like a kick to the face, comprehension wise. All three times I re-watched it.
15:33 I know you want to keep it simple, but it shouldn't be wrong: 1. No, a parser gives you the AST. 2. Treesitter gives you a concrete syntax tree. 3. Your example with symbols is the lexer's job, a parser uses a grammar based on those tokens.
Thanks sir. Though I used some other codes but I was finally able to understand what lua is.
great video ! waiting for ep 2
Thank you, thank you, thank you, literally it's the first video where i could actually understand 😅
Very well explained! Great video!
Thanks!
This video helped me start using Neovim. First time I installed nvim I was confused and simply uninstalled it and continued using vim. Also appreciate the style of the presenter which is
unlike some rambling nvim videos out there.
Thanks!
Wow.. ive been trying to migrate to neovim and everything out there is not good. This is by far the best intro I have seen and I actually have a neovim setup now. Thanks!
Hey there! 🌟 I'm super thrilled to hear that our neovim guide hit the spot for you! Migrating to neovim can feel like jumping into a pool of cool, but slightly intimidating tech-water. Glad we could turn that into a smooth swim for you. 🏊♂️💻 If you've got any more questions or need tips on fine-tuning your setup, feel free to drop them here.
Thanks a lot for the great video. For once someone is going line by line and explaining what's going on. A simple request, if that's alright, in the series please show how to setup a dev environment for Python where we can create, change, etc between different conda environments, and even more complicated that I have not been able to find is a way to interact or use Jupyter Notebooks in Nvim. ❤
the best guide ever
Coming from VS Code, the switch to Neovim was awfully confusing - this series helped me switch. Can't wait for debuggers -- and maybe how to use Github Copilot or other AI tools? 🙏
Also, I joined the Typecraft Gang! Glad to be here.
Amen. Brother
