My Vim Configuration by melodyogonna(op): 3:13pm On Jul 28, 2020
NB - I added an extra space on the links, the anti-spam bot dey craze sometimes grin

Vim much like Emacs is an extremely customizable text editor ( I know, I know - Emacs wins here), unlike most editors it ships with most of it's features turned off or lacking undecided undecided which means you either turn it on or implement the feature you want yourself - or use plugins.

Anyway here's a github link to my own configuration https://github .com/melodyogonna/nvim, I believe I now have every single feature I had on Vs Code .... and more grin grin grin hopefully I can resist the urge to make changes to it, people much older and wiser than me have tried resisting the urge and failed grin grin

To use it you'll have to install Vim, or Neovim rather - Neovim is a fork of Vim and implements better IDE features https://neovim. io/ and Vim-Plug; one of the many plugin managers for Vim https://github .com/junegunn/vim-plug

Then you can clone the repo inside your ~/.config folder if you're using Mac or Linux, I don't exactly know the location for windows, sorry.

If you'd like to get started with Vim here's an article with the resources you may need https://www.fullstackpython .com/vim.html

Here is a video if you'd like to see Vim in action
