working on a refactor of my treesitter plugin for neovim. i've removed the dependency on nvim-treesitter. it can now install parsers on its own. if anyone is brave enough to test this new branch, or kind enough to comment on the documentation, here is the link: github.com/VonHeikemen/... #neovim

For almost a year developing `vim.pack` (Neovim>=0.12 built-in plugin manager) has been one of my top open source priorities. With #neovim 0.12 release around the corner, I decided to make a comprehensive guide about how `vim.pack` works and how to use it. echasnovski.com/blog/2026-03...

i want to write a blog post on configuring neovim using vimscript. but i want know how much dark magic i'm allow to use. if i show you this example config, do you think is fine? gist.github.com/VonHeikemen/... #vim #neovim

now that nvim-treesitter's rewrite is the new default i think this might be useful to someone. (if it's not clear what this plugin does, please tell me. i want to make this "beginner friendly") github.com/VonHeikemen/... #neovim

a made a new neovim plugin but i'm not sure how to describe effectively. i don't think is the kind of thing people should install blindly. ideally, a user encounters a problem then looks for the solution. i've learn this isn't the normal workflow of a casual user that is just learning neovim.

i wrote down everything i know about color schemes in neovim. so if you ever wanted to create one from scratch this might be a good place to start. vonheikemen.github.io/learn-nvim/f... #neovim

I am very happy to announce the release of MiniMax - Neovim config example(s) that is primarily based on MINI/mini.nvim. The plan was to wait until when 'mini.statuscolumn' and 'mini.terminals' are implemented, but decided to just do it now. Here is the release post: nvim-mini.org/blog/2025-10...

neovim's built-in "treesitter support" is a cool feature that has been around for a while now. i didn't found many resources that explain what is, so i wrote something vonheikemen.github.io/learn-nvim/f... #neovim

It was a long road to get here, but we made it 🎉 Thanks @neovim.io core team for allowing me to do this! There are still a lot of things to do, but we'll approach them one small step at a time.

i made another documentation site. in this one i wrote everything you need to know to use neovim as a text editor. vonheikemen.github.io/learn-nvim/ #neovim

i've updated my post about neovim's lsp client. i added the new stuff from v0.11 and explain how it works, so people can make their own setup even on older neovim versions. long story short, this is about using neovim's lsp client without plugins. vonheikemen.github.io/devlog/tools... #neovim

#neovim 0.11 is out! - List of notable changes since 0.10: neovim.io/doc/user/new... - Summary blog post: gpanders.com/blog/whats-n... - Release binaries: github.com/neovim/neovi... Thank you all for the support! More things to come in 0.12!

'mini.completion' now **finally** has snippet support (plus other small improvements). This was a frequently requested feature which I had troubles adding (including a detour of making own snippet engine), but it is finally done. Here is the updated 'mini.completion' #neovim demo:

All told, it's been a year and a half of hard work to get to today. We've got so much to share about this project. Let us know what you'd like to hear about! :) youtu.be/0mCsluv5FXA

We've renamed our luarocks rewrite to Lux, a luxurious package manager for Lua! github.com/nvim-neorock...

everything is always harder than it "should" be.

what's involved in getting a "modern" terminal setup? jvns.ca/blog/2025/01...

Hey friends, one of the most common concerns I hear from people who want to learn to code is, "I'm not good at math". Don't gatekeep yourself before you even get started - you might find it's fun to make the computer do the math instead! Fellow devs, what would you say to newbies with this concern?

neovim added a new api to configure language servers. is easy to use if you know what you are doing. sure, writting 6 lines of code is easy enough. knowing what to write is the tricky part. in this post i try my best to explain how to use this api: lsp-zero.netlify.app/blog/lsp-con... #neovim

neovim did the thing. they upstream the setup logic from nvim-lspconfig. okay, is not exactly the same. this one seems to be a little bit more flexible. github.com/neovim/neovi... (note this pr being merged on master doesn't mean is going to land in the next stable release)

ethernet? you mean the wifi cable

the 300 character limit is really hurting me. in mastodon the standard limit 500 and i'm happy with that. if i'm over 500 i'm saying too much. but 300 is not enough.

the other day i refactored the neovim config i shared with people that want to learn about the editor. is amazing what you can do with these plugins: * mini.nvim * nvim-lspconfig * nvim-treesitter one file. 141 lines of code. 6 plugins. github.com/VonHeikemen/...

hello there
