NOTES ON NEOVIM AND MY PERSONAL NEOVIM WORKFLOW
|
|
|
|
FOR OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION OF NEOVIM, PLEASE VISIT THEIR GITHUB: https://github.com/neovim/neovim
|
|
|
|
I have created this small txt file to document my basic neoneovim work flow
|
|
It is combined with notes about my espanso keybindings, which are meant to aid in the workflow
|
|
Keep in mind these are specific to my neovim setup and will definitely not work in all neovim setups
|
|
|
|
A FINAL NOTE: I recommend trying to coordinate your vim workflow throughout all of your applications. The easiest way to do this is to set up vim keybindings in your terminal:
|
|
|
|
In .bashrc:
|
|
set -o vi
|
|
In .zshrc:
|
|
bindkey -v
|
|
|
|
When setting up keybindings in say a tiling window manager like i3 or bspwm(my preferred twm), it may be a good idea to set up vim keybindings in that. Lastly, install vimium into your browser, as this will allow you to navigate your browser using vim keybindings (hjkldu for navigation, yy to grab the current url, / to search the page, etc.). Vimium is available in either chromium or firefox based browsers and is an essential part of my workflow along with Neovim.

|
|
-- Standard keybindings (all neovim)
|
|
|
|
NORMAL MODE
|
|
|
|
h - go one character left (prepend with a number to go that many characters)
|
|
j - go one character down (prepend with a number to go that many characters)
|
|
k - go one character up (prepend with a number to go that many characters)
|
|
l - go one character right (prepend with a number to go that many characters)
|
|
w - go to the right to the beginning of the next word (delimited by spaces)
|
|
b or shift b - go to the left to the beginning of the last word (delimited by spaces)
|
|

|
|
$ - go to the end of the line (prepend with a number to go that many characters)
|
|
gg - go to top of the page
|
|
shift + g - go to the bottom of the page
|
|
ctrl u -page up
|
|
ctrl d - page down
|
|
/ - forwards slash searches foor the word/term you wish to jump to, just press enter once it is highlighted
|
|
:w - writes (my nneovim setup as autosave, but it's still a good feature to have)
|
|
:q - quits neovim (first neovim command to learn)
|
|
u - undoes last change (can be used with prepended numbers depending on how many steps you want to undo)
|
|
ctrl + r - reverts changes over after unintentional undoing (undoes the last undo commands, also can be prepended by a number)
|
|
|
|
d - beginning d keybinding, can be combined with many of the above commands (it cuts, so you can paste it using p keybinding)
|
|
(can be prepended by a number, and multiples the amount of words/lines is deleted/cut)
|
|
dh - delete word one back (equivalent to db)
|
|
dj - delete one line down
|
|
dk - delete one line up
|
|
dl - delete word one forward (equivlanet to dw)
|
|
dd - delete current line
|
|
d0 - delete from current cursor position to the beginning of the line
|
|
d$ - delete from the current cursor position to the end of the line
|
|
dgg - delete from the current cursor position to the beginning of the document
|
|
dG - delete from the current position to the end of the document
|
|
dw - delete word on current position
|
|
de - delete current cursor position to the end of the word
|
|
db - delete current cursor position to the beginning of the word
|
|
x - delete character under current cursor position
|
|
|
|
c - c can be used instead of d, and will do pretty much the same thing, except it will go into INSERT mode after deletion
|
|
|
|
interesting use case:
|
|
di( - will delete everything encapsulated in the following parenthesis
|
|
di{ - will delete everything encapsulated in the following curly brackets
|
|
di[ - will delte everything encapsulated in the following square brackets
|
|
|
|
y - beginning y keybinding, yanks or copies character or word for pasting elsewhere using the p keybinding
|
|
(can be prepended by a number, and multiples the amount of words/lines to be copied)
|
|
yh - copies one word back (equivalent to yb)
|
|
yj - copies one line down
|
|
yk - copies one line up
|
|
yl - copies one word forward (equivlanet to ye)
|
|
ye - copies one word forward
|
|
yb - copies one word back
|
|
yy - copies entire line
|
|
yw - copies entire word
|
|
y0 - copies from current cursor position to beginning of line
|
|
y$ - copies from current cursor position to end of line
|
|
yG - copies from current cursor position to the end of document
|
|
ygg - copies from current cursor position to the beginning of document
|
|
|
|
o - create line below
|
|
shift + o - create line above
|
|
|
|
f - go to the next instant of the next character (i.e. f+g will go to the next instance of 'g')
|
|
shift + f - same as f, but goes backwards (i.e. shift+f+g will go to the last instance of 'g')
|
|
|
|
t - same as f, but will go to one character before entered character
|
|
shift + t -same as shift + f, but goes backwards to one character before entered character
|
|
|
|
GOOD FOR USE WITHIN FUNCTITON ENCAPSULATIONS
|
|
[{ - go to beginning encapsulation that begins with { ( can also be used with '(' )
|
|
]} - got o the ending encapsulation that ends with } ( can also be used with ')' )
|
|
|
|
WINDOW MANIPULATION BINDINGS
|
|
ctrl + w + o - close all window buffers except for the one selected
|
|
ctrl + w + v - open up a vertical split window
|
|
ctrl + w + s - open up a horizontal split window
|
|
|
|
:e ./name_of_file_to_open - not as good as fzf, but is a decent native file finder in nvim
|
|
|
|
FROM NORMAL MODE, ENTERING OTHER MODES
|
|
i - enter INSERT mode at the current cursor position
|
|
a - enter INSERT mode at the following cursor position (appending)
|
|
shift + i - enter INSERT mode at the beginning of the line
|
|
shift + a - enter INSERT mode at the end of the line
|
|
v - enter VISUAL mode
|
|
shift + v enter VISUAL mode and select the current line
|
|
shift + r enter REPLACE mode (think of this as INSERT in windows/mac, simply replaces all text beneath cursor while in this mode)
|
|
ctrl + v - enter VISUAL BLOCK MODE
|
|
|
|
NO MATTER WHAT MODE YOU'RE IN, you can always:
|
|
<ESC> to return to NORMAL MODE
|
|
|
|
INSERT MODE
|
|
|
|
tab - configured for four spaces in my case
|
|
|
|
VISUAL MODE
|
|
|
|
h,j,k,l,g,shift+g,0,$ all apply, it simply highlights them
|
|
and you can use standard and custom commands here that would normally apply in NORMAL mode
|
|
|
|
CTRL + V ENTERS VISUAL BLOCK MODE
|
|
I only really use this for muliple commenting out of lines
|
|
(ctrl + v + j or k and then ctrl+c to comment out code)
|
|
|
|
--Custom Keybindings
|
|
|
|

|
|
CTRL + b : Open Nneovim Tree

|
-- INSERT MODE
|
|
|
|
ii - equivaent to <ESC> key (return to normal mode from insert mode)
|
|
|
|
-- ESPANSO BASED commands
|
|
NOTE: Espanso can be used in conjunction for some powerful aliases in neovim (as well as other applications)
|
|
FURTHER NOTATION: Please note that espanso is capabale of a lot more than is featured here and I highly recommend coming up with further expamples as it has the potential to greatly increase workflow speed
|
|
SEE: https://espanso.org/
|
|
|
