Say Goodbye to Your IDE: Meet LazyVim
Since I started coding, I have used integrated development environments (IDEs) and text editors such as IntelliJ, VS Code, and Sublime Text. As a result, navigating and writing code using only the keyboard felt unnatural. If you read this article, you're probably in the same position.
However, that changed a while ago when I came across this article from Takuya Matsuyama, also known as Devaslife. In the article, Takuya showed his Neovim setup, which changed my perception of Vim. I was pleasantly surprised by the sleek aesthetics, the variety of available plugins, and the ability to move faster with the keyboard than with the mouse.
As a result, I picked bits and pieces from the article and then dived deeper into Neovim plugins and configurations. In this article, I'll share everything I learnt, plus my configuration.
Frankly, I've never used bare Vim or other distros and configurations until now. I can't compare LazyVim to others, but I can explain why I chose it.
