As a >50 year old. I'm just starting on my NeoVim journey. I'm a Java dev, but want to use Nvim for stuff like terraform, k8s manifests, bash, yaml, json etc etc. Hard part is getting all those key maps into my old brain.
Ha, I'm also 50+, so you're not alone with learning all of this. But seriously, the :Tutor for the motions is where the magic happens for me. Check that out! Something like di( to delete everything between () is just so cool 👍
vim-be-good is how I got started. Was in the same boat, not really getting the keys down. For a week I fired up vim-be-good daily, spent 15 minutes doing various tasks. After that, started my deep dive.
I've started using nvim last year, at 47. Thought I'd continue running VS Code in parallel for "serious work" while starting out with nvim for fiddling with simple config files, but somehow immediately used nvim for everything and never looked back. I'm far from knowing all the keys but I feel like it's possible to do most of the work with a basic set of keys, and then I learn a new trick every now and then, when I want to do something faster (today I learned / + cgn). Kickstart FTW 👍
your first kickstart last year was a great jumping off point to me with my neovim config. i did just that, took it, removed a bunch of stuff, added a bunch of stuff and modified a bunch of stuff to make it do what i want. it's the perfect starting ground for someone who wants to get started quickly with some sensible plugins and default mappings but doesn't want to be trapped by a distribution or someone else's "layer" great job TJ. the passion and effort that you and the neovim core team put into neovim is truly felt. thank you all for the great work.
The comments on the reasoning around the key mappings has been very useful to me. I'm always confused about what the standard is in regards to key mappings. Thanks a lot for these videos!
Haven't seen the full video yet but I have played with the kickstart for 3h. The documentation effort is incredible. That would by my fifth attempt at nvim... I never sticked simply because each time I grew tired of having to look for information for hours just to know how to do simple stuff or cobble things together. You guys managed to make it incredibly easy and enjoyable. I'm jumping left and right on the different helpers and learning so much without feeling lost or having to go look elsewhere. Again, just incredible. Tysm for all your hard work on this.
Brilliant! I have seen neovim for the first in action last week on youtube. I used kickstart to learn about vim and neovim this week. Now I have a fully self configured development environment for Rust, Python, Svelte, Flutter, shell, terraform with trouble, neotest, nvim-tree tighly integrated with telescope and whichkey. The kickstart project and this video helped me from not even knowing what vim and neovim exactly is to uninstalling all other editors and riding neovim.
I've watched about 10 different videos on Vim/NVim config and followed through... Between having 10 different approaches to organisation and to remapping, but also watching a video just to realize down the line that I needed to switch to Lua, or the package manager is not supported, do I use mason or not, which auto-complete, etc... it is exhausting. This is the best video (and way)! It gives you an opinionated starter but this video and the incode comments give you all the info for you to take control. Thank you so much!!!
I've been using a cobbled together, but working, config for close to a year now. I've started rewriting it with kickstart and have already learned a ton. Thanks for all the neovim greatness, TJ!
I was recently searching for how to enable the highlight when yanking, and now I have an example. Thank you, I will give a star to the kickstart and use it.
Literally this morning I was watching your old video on this topic. I put it for Watch Later 😅 Thanks for the update. Great work. And thanks for the whole neovim thing in general. You guys rock.
Amazing video, thanks. I started neovim with your previous version of kickstart and I love how the documentation helps newbies like myself understand how (neo)vim works in general ! Thanks for the work you do.
Going to watch this several times. Such a great project. Started with NVChad...It was too prebuilt. Restarted with Primagean, love him, but too crazy. This is a perfect starting place for anyone who doesn't get NeoVim. Thank you TJ.
You managed to convince an Emacs nerd to try out nvim finally. I've been trying to avoid it out of laziness and stubbornness (both b/c of Emacs and because of Vim). I might even incorporate some of the ideas in Kickstart in my own Evil Mode config in Emacs as well as how Kickstart itself is organized. Kudos to you, Teej
This right here broke the barrier for me starting with nvim on windows without needing to install wsl, or manually configure mingw, clang, cygwin, or anything else. This is clear, concise, and with three commands I am up and running. Well done.
I switched from using LunarVim to kickstarter, the performance difference is enormous, kickstarter is the perfect lightweight starting point, and I finally tailored the config to my needs
Well thought and thoroughly documented piece of software that is Telescope upon the great software that is Neovim. Thank you TJ for this great contribution.
Holy crap this was amazing! TJ you killed it! This is the kind of thing I have been SEARCHING for, for about 6 months switching to Neovim from VS Crap.
i think that the best part of this video its that you are pushed to read the manual, i never setup a own nvim config, now i have all that i need with 50 lines of code. GREAT JOB
Been using Neovim for a year or so, made and remade my config many times, mostly copy pasting things together without completely understanding how everything worked. Well this video changed everything, now that I feel a bit more confident simply using vim/neovim as an editor I am taking the next step in understanding and customizing it and this video/walkthrough has helped clarify so much, huge thank you TJ! Well done :)
I have been using NvChad so far to get used to moving around in neovim and this is an excellent video for someone like me to learn how to properly build configs.
After 2 months of going back and forth forcing myself to use vim motions on my main IDE, I can finally say I'm comfortable with it and even producing code faster. And now YT recommends me this video with such an awesome tool, so I think it's the perfect time to move to the terminal and finally leave my bloated / resource-waster / slow IDE behind. I simply can't believe how easy it was to setup everything with kickstart.
Decide to try this after feeling like AstroNvim came with a lot I didn't use or understand. This video and Kickstart is mostly easy to grok, although things like lazy, mason and treesitter are big subjects on their own. I personally struggled initially because I thought all the keymaps listed in the which-key menu were also managed by which-key. Which made no sense because the plugin's config is 5 lines and contains no commands. However, which-key isn't being used here except to load/display the menu by looking at it's config, and the description properties of your existing neovim keymaps. While initially confusing, I now love that the menu and keymaps are decoupled like that! Great Project!
I managed to set up Neovim by following another video with a different configuration, everything worked out of the box with some tweaks but I was really looking for some good article or video explaining each part of the configuration in more details. Truly a gem this video is to start my journey into learning Neovim so I can customize it to my needs, instead of using someone else configuration
This is precisely the update video that was needed! Your first kickstart video is what got me moved away vscode and into neovim. It allowed me to have fun but I didn't really understand how to find things in the manual and find my own path to build it how I like. I've been looking all over for something like this. Thank you!
I am so thankful for this resource! Being a beginner to the neovim community, all of these new concepts seen so daunting. I really had no idea how I would learn how to configure vim (or use it). This helps sooo much!
Thank you, TJ! I finally have the balls to try out Neovim. I installed Kickstart two weeks ago, and I struggling through it. I went from highly frustrated to slightly productive in no time. I want to build this thing into my last IDE that I ever have to use.
pretty cool, i'm a beginner dev that didn't know what he was getting into, but seeing how the neovim + kickstart works, I can finally understand why scripting and being able to customize everything is so gosh darn cool. Lua is also really cool because it's simple enough that i can kinda understand even the more complicated bits that are in the config.
i am using neovim for 5 years but your configs showed me many plugins and options that i didn't know about, i am updating my configs according to yours right now so many usefull stuff, thank you for your effort!!!! THE VIM GOD!!
Man, what a good project and video! I tried a few of the neovim distributions (NvChad, LazyVim, ...), and tried getting c++ working, but I kept struggling! This project is finally causing neovim to make sense! Thanks!!!!
This video pushed me over the edge to try to make my own Neovim configuration. Now after another month and learning more this was an great starting point!
Thank You for Your video on using kickstart! I want to say THANK YOU to TJ DeVries, ALL Kickstart creators and maintainers and to ALL Neovim and Vim plugins makers! And Neovim and Vim makers! Writing and editing text can be so beautiful! R. I. P. Braam Moolenaar!
I'm late to the party but thanks a lot for this. I used to be a pretty devout vim user for a long time, up until about 4 or 5 years ago I was fast and had a nice little decade-long setup I had developed with interactive debugging with vim-debug, etc, but at work everyone started using vscode and I ended up just moving over entirely since then. I've recently wanted to get my vim setup going again and now am seeing all this wild stuff that neovim has on offer and am going to start building my setup off of your kickstart. Cheers.
I started my own configuration with a previous version of kickstart, now I have to admit that it's a bit messy. But this new version gave me ideas to add to my configuration and organize it better. I'm Brazilian, btw, and I live in the state next to the Brazilian creator of neovim, Tiago de Arruda, btw
I have literally just started my Arch journey and I have a bad typing habit of only using 4 fingers. I can touch type but very inneficiantly. I'm getting into nvim as a vscode main, and need to be accurate with key presses. Sounds like a great way to get 2 birds with one stone. I've heard of total conversion nvim setups but I don't want to do something like that and get lost. This seems like a fantastic place to get started and I'm stoked this was suggested to me. I have seen your videos before but haven't subscribed. I'm changing that now 😅 Now to get this done, set up copilot and I'm practically where I am in vscode
This is really cool! My own configuration was based on the older version of kickstart, but now that so many new things were added I think I'm just gonna start over again. Thank you for your hard work.
Thanks heaps for this video, really appreciated! to be honest, i found it a bit overwhelming at first, and only after i saw other videos setting up neovim from scratch did i understand what's going on. I really like how other videos placed plugins in their own files under a plugin directory, thus reducing the size of the init.lua file and easier to follow.

I've been spending all of my free time learning Rust, and now I find this. There goes my Rust learning streak, now I'll probably spend 3 weeks geeking out totally with nvim and plugins and forget all about Rust. Bummer! I need to learn multitask my interests...
What a nice step-by-step video. I've already settled down my neovim config, but this video for sure inspires me to take some tidbits from it and make my config better. Thank you. P.S. It was nice to follow along with you updating kickstart on Twitch.
Fantastic video. It’s motivated me to try to build my own config instead of using LazyVim. Lately, I feel my setup has become a bit sluggish, so curious to see what happens if I use kickstart as a starting point. Thanks again for the amazing content. Very inspirational and your delivery is captivating.
Dude you’re doing God’s work. The lack channels on UA-cam pumping out this kind of content, at this quality and clarity, is troublingly Btw, go blue! 〽️
love the simple setup, i've forked it and am using it. Now watched your vid again and realised i installed a second surround plugin, as i missed you talking about mini the first time (or, you know, so much content all at onc🎉)... now i just need to invest time using neovim. I'm finding it hard to think about the VIM way of doing things from VSCode, as well as having to understand what the LSP options are, and i don't have a huge amount of time to explore, and it's slow. maybe this time i'll be able to switch, but it's my 3rd or 4th attempt already. I want to like it.
Awesome video. Glad I found it, as I struggled a lots initially to start my journey with neovim. Things are definitly more clear and it works ! Just had the issue with neovim 10.0. failed to install mason-registry with error Vimscript function must not be called in a lua loop callback. After remove/reinstall neovim 0.9.5 it worked ok with the same kickstart
Great video! I've watched half a dozen 'get started with neovim' type videos in the last few years (still haven't made neovim my main editor...) and I still found myself learning something from this! Kickstart looks like a great way to jump in with something usable, I think I will give it a try.

Lua really has pushed neovim to a different level of popularity. Love seeing people find this tool and seeing how powerful it is.

@@stefanalecu9532 but you can do everything an IDE does in the CLI, except faster. not that IDEs are bad per se, it's just that a graphical IDE wont compile ur project faster or be any more performant
This is so amazing. Thanks for the work you're doing on kickstart and this channel.
Excellent video! It was also a blast being around for so much of the recording process and cool seeing the final product.
Wow - just as I was looking to lean more on standards, here it is! Thank you 🎉
Learning Lua for past two days. Finished watching this video. Time to switch to NeoVim ♥! Great content.
I've been spending all of my free time learning Rust, and now I find this. There goes my Rust learning streak, now I'll probably spend 3 weeks geeking out totally with nvim and plugins and forget all about Rust. Bummer! I need to learn multitask my interests...
What a nice step-by-step video. I've already settled down my neovim config, but this video for sure inspires me to take some tidbits from it and make my config better. Thank you.
P.S. It was nice to follow along with you updating kickstart on Twitch.
Watched some of this on stream and I gotta say, it came out really good!
Appreciate you setting us up for success. This is fantastic.
Fantastic video. It’s motivated me to try to build my own config instead of using LazyVim. Lately, I feel my setup has become a bit sluggish, so curious to see what happens if I use kickstart as a starting point. Thanks again for the amazing content. Very inspirational and your delivery is captivating.
Dude you’re doing God’s work. The lack channels on UA-cam pumping out this kind of content, at this quality and clarity, is troublingly
Btw, go blue! 〽️
The Tutor part of nvim is a gem, I hope vim had it when I was younger.
love the simple setup, i've forked it and am using it. Now watched your vid again and realised i installed a second surround plugin, as i missed you talking about mini the first time (or, you know, so much content all at onc🎉)... now i just need to invest time using neovim. I'm finding it hard to think about the VIM way of doing things from VSCode, as well as having to understand what the LSP options are, and i don't have a huge amount of time to explore, and it's slow. maybe this time i'll be able to switch, but it's my 3rd or 4th attempt already. I want to like it.
Thank you soooooo much for make it easier to Windows users, It's so nice to be able to work with this config natively in my machine.❤
Awesome video. Glad I found it, as I struggled a lots initially to start my journey with neovim. Things are definitly more clear and it works ! Just had the issue with neovim 10.0. failed to install mason-registry with error Vimscript function must not be called in a lua loop callback. After remove/reinstall neovim 0.9.5 it worked ok with the same kickstart
as a noob purist, I really wanna get good at using nvim, but hoooly is the rabbit hole deep. thank you tj
thanks TJ, I had to switch back to nvim from helix and this is giving me that batteries included experience I switched to helix for
Till I try to learn lua I think this will suit my needs better. Thanks for this sir.
Great video! I've watched half a dozen 'get started with neovim' type videos in the last few years (still haven't made neovim my main editor...) and I still found myself learning something from this! Kickstart looks like a great way to jump in with something usable, I think I will give it a try.
It's finally out. Let's GOOO!!!
Unfortunately I have been up until 3 am configuring Neovim already... but after I get sleep, I am checking this out.
nice :)
Good, finally a video about getting started with Neovim.
I'm sure Paul Graham looked like this guy when young. His excitement with nvim is infectious
