Hey Aerbits! great video! Im currently still mouse-bound myself but I have a few questions about your setup. do you ever need a beefier computer? if so what sort of coding would you say would require stronger hardware (aside from LLMs) im still using VSCode and you mentioned that its not suited for your current project. would you still swap back after this project or is this for the forseeable future? any videos to help me improve productivity in terms of keyboard shortcuts? thats probably one of my bigger fatal flaws my lack of shortcut use. great video, very informative. Look forward to you posting in the future. Cactus
Yeah, I could see going back to VSCode or the JetBrains Suite in the future. The move to neovim was like a fresh coat of paint on my dev setup. It gave me a chance to rethink and try a different look and feel. Ultimately it’s very similar. In terms of hardware, this m2 MacBook Pro is pretty beefy, for a laptop, and the battery life is stellar. I’m working on an H100 VM (via ssh) for my current project, and I was considering going to an H100 cluster, but found a way to avoid that for now. The thing I like about neovim is that I can run it directly on my VM: which is a Linux system: the H100 machine. By using tmux I get session persistence, and any network outage, latency issues are much less of a problem than using other IDEs running on my laptop.
For shortcuts, I generally use the built in shortcuts and program my keyboard the match: to avoid too much double customization. In a few rare cases I’ll write a QuickAction in Apple Automator and then map a keyboard shortcut to that. Using shortcuts requires taking the time to stop and learn/look them up: and for me also program them into my Voyager. But it’s worth it when I can stay in the flow while writing software.
Cool setup👍
Thank you

You could design a 3d printed holder for your keyboard that allows you to also use the laptop keyboard for shortcuts/hotkeys.
or just go out
I don’t really need the laptop keyboard most of the time
hello, im an undergrad, have worked mainly with vscode only, im planning to switch to neo vim, would you consider helping me out a bit?
I really don’t have time to do that. I recommend checking Josean Martinez’s UA-cam channel.
Thanks baldy
Ok
