Neovim: Text Editor of the past, present and the future generations

Image
 My all time favorite text editor of choice has been Vim. Even though this text editor has a seriously dangerous learning curve (I don't think so) it is worth learning the, at least for it's one of a kind and highly productive mouse-less editing experience. In this article, I'll briefly explain the editing experience using Vim, in particular a distribution of Vim called Neovim. Neovim has been a great source of joy for me personally. Vim is configured using it's very own scripting language called vimscript, whereas Neovim on the other hand, is configured using Lua, a full-fledged scripting language, unlike vimscript which is only limited to configuring vim. I have been using Neovim for almost 4 years now. I started off using Vim, hated the learning curve, but at some point, it clicked, I enjoyed using the HJKL keys for navigation and I missed the keybinding whenever I used some GUI programs. When I started learning Vim, good resources were Luke Smith's video on usin...

Why I cant use a softwate without HJKL key support anymore ?

HJKL ? I'm talking about the "HOME ROW" of your keyboard. I am a vim user now for almost a year, year and a half now. VIM is this text editor that, in my opinion, has to be learnt and used by humans. If you want to know more about VIM, google it. I've switched almost every software I use with softwares that have vim-bindings built into them, or can be configured to use custom keybindings. What kind of softwares ? 1. Tiling Window Manager 2. Browser 3. Text Editor (Obviously) 4. Terminal Emulator 5. Run Launcher 6. Need to add to this.
