Vim and NeoVim users, I need your help.

When I type a command, such as `Telescope find`, I have a menu with suggestions to complete with `find_files` for example. The first option appears to be selected, it is the one I want : find_files.

However, I have to tabulate, then tabulate back for it to be inserted. I tried adding vim.o.completeopt = 'menu,menuone,noselect' to my config but it does not work. I've read the completeopt options but I don't find anything useful.

On the Internet, I saw people with the same issue but I don't get how they fixed it and I don't want to install something else, I think I just need a configuration to make it work.

Can anyone help? Thanks.

This presentation covers #Vim 101 to provide an understanding of how Vim works. Want to know why we use :q to quit Vim? You'll learn that and more in this talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxdQJlB65lA

To prevent git from finishing the current commit/operation, you can use :cq in vim to exit with a non-zero status.

(using :q! only works when the edit buffer is empty or it has only commented out lines: https://indieweb.social/@unixroot/114863607312166071)

I predict we'll see a nvim fork called 'nvimo'—here's my reasoning:

If we look at vi -> vim -> nvim,
1. we add letters in alphabetical order: first 'm' added to 'vi', then 'n' added to 'vim'
2. we alternate adding letters before and after: 'm' to the end of 'vi', then 'n' to the beginning of 'vim'

Thus, adding 'o' at the end is logically next

I just published an in-depth post about my configuration of Neovim. It covers every setting, plugin, and custom keymap I use for a good development experience.

Yo Dawg I heard you like syntax highlighing

Utilisateur⋅rices de Neovim, il y a un moyen d'avoir une aide pour lire la ligne que l'on focus ?

J'étais sur un fichier avec des lignes assez longues et seule la fin changeait. C'était dur de voir si j'étais sur la bonne ligne.

Merci par avance !

I've been more and more dissatisfied with the GUI text editor options, and I finally know enough about Neovim to have a setup that covers most of what I liked about e.g., VSCode!

I used the Kickstart (https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim) config files. So far, I just changed the theme back to default, and the rest of the settings worked for me.

I wanted something where I could at least have
- A small terminal split at the bottom
- An easy-to-use file browser (here, netrw and the “Telescope” fuzzy search)
- Easy extensibility (Neovim does both VimScript and Lua plugins, and I have the “Lazy” package manager for those)

Very happy with it!

Thank you for this wonderful tip

So it's

:match Conceal /^.*$/
:set conceallevel=3

:highlight Conceal NONE

When you're finished, just do

:match

Recently started learning #morsecode , although it's completely useless to me. Sometimes it helps to understand why things developed like they did when you go back in time, when remote communication started. And I love having a #lowtech fallbacks.

It's like learning #ed in order to understand concepts of #vim.

#Emacs is often mis represented just as a customizable text editor (even on project website). In reality, it’s a highly hackable lisp environment. Just stop comparing it with #vim #vscode #helix or any other text editors / IDEs

Markdown, Emacs, and Vim walked into a bar…
…and thanks to some rather pleasant people hereabouts, we have some punchlines in this week's #ptpl.

The good news is, of course that the way you edit and format matters very little so long as you're having fun doing it.

Just an unsolicited praise of Vi editing mode extension for #firefox (there's version for google thing also). Sure, limited, but s/// in textarea is life-changing experience alone.
