Quick start

TIP

If you're new to NeoVim/Vim

I strongly encourage you to learn how to use NeoVim/Vim, as it's more than a normal text editor.

These are highly recommend and a must do for any new Vimmer

• Vim tutor

  :Tutor
  

• In-built help docs

  :h <cmd>
  :h autocommand
  :h nvim.api
  :h insert
  

• Google your issue (opens new window)
  • Example format query, neovim how to delete 10 lines
• NeoVim quick reference (opens new window)
• Vim movement games
  • Vim Adventures (opens new window)
  • Vim Genius (opens new window) After the initial installation, we recommend setting up a few things based on your needs.

Tree-sitter

To install syntax highlighting and treesitter support for your language:

:TSInstall <TAB>

NOTE: <TAB> indicates that you should press the <TAB> key and cycle through your options

Not all languages are supported. For a list of supported languages look here (opens new window)

Language Server

To install a Language Server for your language:

:LspInstall <TAB>

Sometimes the language server for your language will not have an obvious name. For instance, the language server for ruby is solargraph. Metals is the language server for scala, etc. To find the corresponding language server for your language look here (opens new window)

Nerd Fonts

Installing a nerd font (opens new window) is recommended. Otherwise some symbols won't be rendered properly. For more information go to the configuration section .
