I'm a software developer (from Venezuela), mostly do web development stuff. I occasionally like to talk about linux, Neovim and javascript.
not sure if this helps but, i've been writting about neovim stuff on this documentation site for a little while

vonheikemen.github.io/learn-nvim/

is mostly about built-in features and how to use neovim as a text editor.

thank you.

i think i can mention all that along side the `:Inspect` command which apparently i forgot.

thank you. writting it was a nice side project.

oh i love mini.nvim. i will bring attention to it any time i can. the fact that it works on neovim v0.9 means i can recommend it to any casual ubuntu user. that's a nice little detail i appreciate.

the thing about neovim is that you have to know the details if you want to have a nice experience. your configuration can be a file with 30 lines code but you still need a few hours to gather all the tiny bits to write those 30 lines.

All told, it's been a year and a half of hard work to get to today. We've got so much to share about this project. Let us know what you'd like to hear about! :)

maybe this can help: a post that explain how to build a "base config" with just 2 plugins.

vonheikemen.github.io/devlog/tools...

even if you don't use the config in the post still a good read to understand some basic concepts in neovim.

with the set command, if you don't add anything on the right hand side of the equal sign it should be considered empty.

spending some time learning basic things is never a bad idea. like lua syntax and a little bit of neovim's api.

there's a lot good information in neovim's docs. here:
