Practical Guide of Vim as primary developer
Posted on:July 3, 2023 at 10:00 AM
Hello friends.
I have been using vim on top of VS Code as a primary editor over last couple of years for my day to day job.
I am really happy to see my progress of using vim extension.
However I realized inspiring by my colleagues that using vim directly would be way performant for me.
Therefore I decide to use neovim as a primary editor.
In this post I will list down all the commands that I use for my day to day basis work.
