learning neovim

October 4, 2025

I have been using Omarchy lately. It’s a preconfigured version of Arch Linux created by David Hennemeier Hansson, the creator of Ruby On Rails. He has made a bunch of changes (he does call it an opinionated take on Linux) and some of them have been getting in my way.

One of the things it’s had me consider using is NeoVim, which is a modern rewrite of the old classic. It has a lot of autotyping things that have been getting in my way. Tonight I dug into it a little bit and I think maybe i can work with it

I am realizing that while I have always liked vim, I have been using maybe 10% of it. Looking forward to learning to use more of it. One thing I have realized is that I can set up vim to automatically fix certain common typos like “teh”” to be automatically correct it to the, same thing with “wiht” to with

Another thing I learned tonight is how some of my blog posts were getting messed up. In markdown, if I leave two spaces at the end of the line, it works like a break in html. Been in this environment for 30+ years and still learning kind of basic things.
