### Hints And Tips For New Neovimmers
|
||||
|
||||
Neovim is a very rich and powerful environment, but it can also feel a bit
|
||||
intimidating for new users trying to find their way around, especially if
|
||||
they're coming from other environments like Visual Studio Code or a traditional
|
||||
IDE.
|
||||
|
||||
There's no way this README can provide you with everything you need to know, but
|
||||
here are a few tips so you can learn how to learn.
|
||||
|
||||
### Use The Help, Luke!
|
||||
|
||||
Neovim's help system is incredibly thorough and extensive. You should really
|
||||
take a moment to get comfortable navigating through help topics, going back and
|
||||
forth, navigating the menus, etc. This won't just help you read the help, it
|
||||
will empower you in the rest of your Neovim journey.
|
||||
|
||||
You can double click on a topic to drill down, and hit Ctrl-o (Hold down the
|
||||
Control key and the 'o' key) to go back.
|
||||
|
||||
Read the first page you get when you run :help carefully. it will serve you
|
||||
well.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also get help on a particular thing by typing ":help <topic>".
|
||||
|
||||
Like, let's say we want to learn more about folding, just type ":help folding".
|
||||
|
||||
### To The Telescope!
|
||||
|
||||
One of the more powerful features you get by installing this project is the
|
||||
brilliant Telescope plugin co-written by @tjdevries.
|
||||
|
||||
Take a minute to browse through ":help telescope" and get a sense for all the
|
||||
amazing superpowers you've gained.
|
||||
|
||||
In particular, there are two Telescope features that are incredible for helping
|
||||
you understand how to do a particular thing or how to configure a particular
|
||||
feature.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're not sure what to look for, try ":Telescope help_tags". Let's say we
|
||||
want to configure Neovim to automatically word wrap. We might type ":Telescope
|
||||
help_tags" and then type w, r, a, p. Notice how the list of results changes with
|
||||
each new letter you type? When you're done you've got a screen full of topics
|
||||
involving word wrap.
|
||||
|
||||
Another common question is "What keys do I hit to make a thing happen?". To get
|
||||
an answer, one way is to use ":Telescope keymaps". You'll get the same list of
|
||||
results that changes to adapt with each new key you press.
|
||||
|
||||
With these hints in mind you should be in good shape to get learning. Remember,
|
||||
you are on a journey of discovery here, adapting your programming environment to
|
||||
your needs. It will take effort, but the rewards are worth it! :)
