Neovim from scratch

NOTE (You will notice treesitter pulling in a bunch of parsers the next time you open Neovim)

each video will be associated with a branch so checkout the one you are interested in

You'll probably notice you don't have support for copy/paste also that python and node haven't been setup

So let's fix that

First we'll fix copy/paste

• On mac pbcopy should be builtin

• On Ubuntu

  sudo apt install xsel
  

• On Arch Linux

  sudo pacman -S xsel
  

Next we need to install python support (node is optional)

• Neovim python support

  pip install pynvim
  

• Neovim node support

  npm i -g neovim
