--- Title: Some pointers for Vim Date: 2023-05-13 11:00 Modified: 2023-05-22 09:00 Lang: en Author: Fabrice Category: software Tags: vim, neovim Slug: nvim Status: draft table-of-contents: true Header_Cover: ../images/covers/hand-fan.jpg Summary: Some information I would have love to learn earlier in (Neo)Vim. --- [Neovim](https://neovim.org/) is a modal text editor, a direct heir from the one and only [Vim](https://www.vim.org), which inherited the title from [vi](https://ex-vi.sourceforge.net/). This text editor family is quite widespread, and it's not uncommon to end up with life choices such as [Vim vs Emacs](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerre_d%27%C3%A9diteurs) when looking for a text editor. Aside from trolls, I'm an everyday Vim/Neovim user to write code, [some emails]({filename}../tips/emails-md.md), take notes, write this blog… However, if you are already a vim-user or simply interested in it and already tried, you may have noticed that the learning curve can be steep, and it is somewhat difficult to find some useful pieces of information, especially when we don't even know it exists.
