How to use vim-plug with init.lua? win11
Is it possible to use vim-plug with init.lua? https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug. Source: 6 months ago
Vimtex not loading (vim-plug)
Did you really install VimTeX? Did you run :PlugInstall? Ensure you installed and set up vim-plug correctly (https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug). If VimTeX is installed, it should be installed to '~/.vim/plugged', thus you can open a terminal, then cd ~/.vim/plugged/vimtex and you should find the files there. Source: 11 months ago
How to use VIM text editor
If you're determined to use vim for some reason, I'd suggest checking out vim-plug: https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug. Quite useful for installing and maintaining all of the plugins that you're going to need to get vim to provide even a subset of the features offered by modern editors. Source: 11 months ago
I use the default file browser in vim (netrw). I know there are plugins that a lot of people like. Should I switch?
I encourage you to add plugins to your vim (tip: use vim-plug). Use vimawesome.com for inspiration. Source: 11 months ago

Micro – A Modern Alternative to Nano
I don't know how much you actually care, and I'm the nano OP of this comment chain/thread but there are some vims (and emacs) with plugins and what not built in. Only one I can think of off the top of my head is https://spacevim.org/ but theres a bunch. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Devil Mode for Emacs
There's also spacevim: https://spacevim.org/ And to a certain extent the new Helix editor which uses space and context sensitive popup menues for discoverability to great effect IMNHO: https://helix-editor.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
colorscheme won't apply
Hi, I'm new to using vim I followed the instruction from spacevim.org but this won't work.. Source: about 1 year ago
FOSS alternative to VS CODE for Arch Linux
You can find distributions with plugins for those editors, like Doom Emacs or space vim. These days, I enjoy doing (neo)vim configs (with lua). Both can use the language server protocol (with different plugins or natively in neovims' case) and so you'd get similar setups done like in code. Source: about 1 year ago
