I'm new to Neovim! I've been hardly using it for a week now, and a complete switch is yet to be seen on the horizon. But I like the feeling I get when I correctly use those 3/4 shortcuts I could remember and it does something, and I want to give it a try!

That being said, setting up Neovim is quite easy.

  • Download and install the latest release from the Neovim repository.

  • Run nvim to open Neovim or nvim . to open in the current folder.

That's it! You're now a bit closer to absolute coding bliss!

But how do I do 'X' that I used to do in vscode?

Well, I'm not sure tbh! I've set up a noob-friendly config with the kickstart.nvim repository. It has a few plugins that get the basics done, i.e. fuzzy search, language servers for almost all languages, custom themes, and so on. Check out the following video for an intro 👇

That's it! Please share your feedback, if you'd do something different in any part of the series, or your setup, and workflow. Thanks for reading, Peace ✌️
