switching from VSC to VIM (lemmy.ml)

I'm thinking of switching from VSC to VIM because VSC is too heavy in term of ressources usage.

Currently, I use the VSC + VIM extension and I'm pretty happy.

But nowadays, I avoid to open some monorepo projects because it takes too much time and I use the Github explorer instead. Also, I use the mouse too much.

So I finally took the decision to give a try to Neovim.

I initially started with SpaceVIM and it was a good experience. But there is too much magic for me. Also, I have the feeling to not learn VIM.

So I setup CoC with VIM-plug + NerdTree. It looks promising.

Do you have any tips for me?

Welcome! I recommend checking out https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim. From their readme:

A starting point for Neovim that is:

  • Small
  • Single-file (with examples of moving to multi-file)
  • Documented
  • Modular

This repo is meant to be used by YOU to begin your Neovim journey; remove the things you don't use and add what you miss.

My current neovim config is basically this, plus a few plugins added / removed.
