#Linux with Neovim

[catbirdlinux]

What will you create today? Make it on a worthy operating system. Catbird Linux is the real deal - power and freedom for your PC.

I use (neo)vim

I've been using arrow keys for navigation, and I decided I wanted to use hjkl instead

Someone on the internet had the idea to rebind those to jkil to make it easier to pick up

I decided I wanted to do something like that

I think I picked the most cursed option

Behold: English (US, intl., with dead keys, cursed edition)

Yes this is my keyboard layout

Yes I decided to edit xkb rather than my neovim configuration

Over the next few days we will find out what effect this has on my typing

probably i should learn how to use neo/vi/m or similar sometime. i guess the reason i haven't is i don't use console text editors that often? if i'm doing a writing project i'll either use libreoffice or scrivener (depending on length) and if i just need to edit a config usually kate or nano work. the only programming i do is html/css, and i usually just do that in kate. maybe a more powerful editor would help my flow? unsure. would totally help with the whole "relatively universal linux console editor" thing though

have you posted more your colorschemes anywhere? the one in your pinned post looks really nice! - @cups-official

hi @cups-official !!!

they're both on my codeberg as neovim schemes with a random assortment of extras (lifted repo structure from tokyonight + lua that i do not understand from xero)!! my dotfiles are a mess right now but i use them with sway, yambar, bemenu, mako, etc. i'll get around to mirroring them to github for easier installation maybe

Some screen sharing of challenging backend Java code that I was testing, although it was quite basic, to be honest.

Additionally, my notebook contained a pretty basic code base for a producer class that I wrote by hand. I want to become very skilled in creating Java classes based on the producer-consumer pattern using Kafka.

I have to admit I use MacOS more than Arch Linux but at least its better than W*ndows

If you use vim or neovim (i like to remap to get vim-like keybindings in every programs i use), someone made an eva unit 01 theme for it. Popular plugins like whichkey, lualine, fzf or telescope are even themed. Palette is also lovely named about eva ("LCL" for orange^^). Author even has a custom eva mechanical keyboard. It won't replace your rosé pine, tokyonight, dracula, gruvbox... but it's a cool colorscheme.

I miss the days in uni when i was trying so many different linux distros, window managers, vim, neovim, customization, ricing, so many dotfiles.

Now that I'm working for a company and just cant live that 'wild west of tech' life anymore, i miss those days.

Starting to make my first neovim plugin, wish me luck

[sailorspica]

i just think i put far too much time into linux for my post-grad school industry swap not to be IT

Catbird Linux v3.2 is USB pluggable Live Linux for writers, programmers, data crunchers, and content creators.

I just put up my first neovim plugin! :3

It uses the vim.notify() function to display one of the splash text options that the user inputs in the config (it picks randomly).

It works fine out of the box, but if you have a plugin that modifies the way vim.notify() shows notifications, it can look really nice! For example:

Hmm. I think I'm done with Kakoune. The things I like about it are mostly things Neovim already does well, and the things I don't like about it are things that are better in Neovim. It has a few bright spots I'm going to miss but they're not that important.

I like the tighter integration with language servers and smarter scripting language options. Neovim now does both of these and has for a while.

I don't like the slavish dedication to the selection approach that renders certain tasks obnoxiously complicated such as find/replace. I already know how to rattle off a regex at lightning speed, I don't need to learn another method that is weaker and involves fighting with selections. I use sed outside of my editor too so it makes sense to combine the skill.

I also prefer vim's built in tabs and splits for some tasks but that's not that important. Kak can kind of do that in Daemon mode so that's my fault.

Some of this is probably because our work server doesn't have a new enough set of build utils and libraries to run Kakoune so I can't run it at work without maintaining a whole pain in the ass personal build chain, I have to keep switching between Kakoune at home and Neovim at work so it's too much friction. I didn't really have any problems with Neovim I just wanted to check it out on a friend's recommendation.

I will miss the more intelligent command grammar. Subject/Verb is a lot more sensible than Verb/Subject but it's not worth it given how heavily I rely on vim's quick text manipulation features.

I will probably rewrite my neovim config from scratch to modernise it, it's old, partially inherited from my even older vim config, and it predates LSP so it needs to be updated anyway.
