Vim

It's been 3 months since I started using Vim as my secondary IDE. I began learning how to use Vim because I saw my friend using it as his daily IDE and I thought it was so cool. At the first time I used Vim, I wanted to give up because it was so hard 😂. There were so many key bindings I had to remember and it was hard to configure. After a month of using it, I started enjoying Vim as my IDE because it was getting easier to use and simpler to configure. I use tmux, fish shell, and Neovim as my primary setup for my terminal, and I also started creating aliases for faster workflows.

Heres how i configure vim for my workflows , i use craftzdog dotfile and started modified for my personal use, here's my config :
