neovim with plugins.

Neovim...without plugins.

I don't have a lot, mostly just quality of life improvements for neovim like a good true color scheme, DAP debugging integration and some minor tweaks.

Even though I cannot get along with the desktop environment, I am a big fan of kde's software.

In this specific case that would be: kate.

(actually, I prefer kwrite, but kwrite doesn't support tabs)

Regular vim, although I don't use the tab feature -- {v,}split is usually sufficient if I need to open multiple files at once.

Text Editor(gnome)
Yeah my classmates criticize me for the lack off fancy features too, but I don't wanna learn all the fancy features.

I don't have a lot, mostly just quality of life improvements for neovim like a good true color scheme, DAP debugging integration and some minor tweaks.

Admittedly, I actually have a single plugin: lf.vim.

I can use netrw fine, but it's a little inefficient, so I replaced it with lf directly.

I use good old desert colorscheme.

I use Neovim for front-end web dev (and writing, and general notes, and ...), so I get real-time debugging anyway. Depending on how far I get into learning C, I might be adding a debugger. I wanted to make my setup as standard as possible so I wasn't relying on third-party features if I, for some reason, needed to use vanilla Vim.

So, netrw is fine! But give me lf, please.

Oh, I forgot to mention fzf.lua. It's very useful and I use it regularly: https://github.com/ibhagwan/fzf-lua

I don't plan to use regular vim, so I don't mind Lua plugins. Neovim has a lot of powerful ones.

I actually think the default kde install works perfectly well for me in this case. I use it all the time for work stuff. Kate.

My go to text editor is geany. Is fast and really stable.

For quick stuff usually the fastest is vim.

Doom Emacs

I think i should learn Vim and Emacs
Seems they are a lot more powerful and comfortable than i initially thought.

Nothing special for me, just gedit and nano. I even broke down and installed nano on my Red Hat Linux 7.3 install despite it not exactly being period accurate. You have to pick your battles.

I've recently migrated from neovim (as a long-time vim user) to emacs; & I think I'll stay here, because I've found that I like elisp a *lot* more than lua.

vim, neovim, & emacs have all been adding important features, & improving existing ones lately; so it's an exciting time to explore what each has to offer, & experiment.

Emacs, vim and kate. Work and bigger typing sessions always in emacs.

If anyone needs, I ported Gotham theme to Lua for better compatibility with Neovim:

Helix Editor
Worth a try if you are not already sold on Vim or Emacs.

Recently released: Notepad Next .....!!! Notepad++ was my all time fav editor that wasn't avail on linux, but now this fan passion project has made it so.
