What Hacker News says

I'm also a college student who went down the same rabbit hole recently. I found this github repo and video series super helpful for understanding how to create your own neovim config. https://github.com/LunarVim/Neovim-from-scratch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctH-a-1eUME One project that seems super cool I hope continues on is helix. https://helix-editor.com/. I just started messing around with it but the selection -> action philosophy behind text manipulation feels much more intuitive to me even though I'm proficient with vim at this point.
In I’ve spent my Easter break customizing Neovim
