If you have a rudimentary understanding of TypeScript and want to expand on that, this app might work well for you. Grid Attack is from the same creators as Flexbox Adventure, mentioned earlier. This one isn’t free but includes 80 interactive challenges that are similar to real-world grid layout problems. Grid Garden, from Codepip, the same makers as Flexbox Froggy, includes 28 different levels to teach you about the different parts of the CSS Grid Layout specification.
Normal syntax highlighting with coloring variables and symbols from outer scopes specifically seems ideal to me. Highlighting variables and symbols should be much more useful. Taking advantage of tags, easytags is a very good plugin to automatically generate https://wizardsdev.com/en/news/buttons-or-dropdowns/ tags using CTags compatible tools. It also provides highlighting based on tags, which is quite handy. Unfortunately the highlighting functionality only works for some programming languages like python and c++, and doesn’t include javascript.

If you’ve ever used an IDE in your life, you might have noticed that there’s always a tree on the side with the project files. Vim/Neovim use NetRW by default, which brings this same function. There are many different development teams where I work. I lead a small team of 3 developers in my Front-End fire team. We decided to take on the adventure of using neovim and tmux together.
- (I don’t mean literally everyone, just a very large majority from what I noticed).
- I hope this small article was interesting and you’ve taken something useful from this.
- We can install VIM tagalong the same way as we installed the other two plugins.
- If Gnome shipped with Tweaks already installed, stuff would be much easier for beginners.
- In short order my brain has adapted and I’m not missing the mini-map.
- Visuals are often lacking when learning command-line tools like Git.
- Also I have tried multiple times to migrate to original Vim editor but without success.
Then I tried coc.vim and haven’t come back ever since. It’s amazing the setup you can easily make for web development with Angular or React. Nowadays my main editors are nvim with coc.vim on Linux (running on tmux) and VsCode with Vim plugin when running on Windows. The reason I wanted to learn vim was because I often have a lot of things running and once you start working with large projects in vscode, it hogs a lot a RAM (I don’t have a lot). I noticed that coc.vim takes a lot of resources well not the plugin itself but the extensions.
Windows (PowerShell)
This one allows you to use JavaScript to program the movement of elevators by means of a built-in API designed for the game itself. So you’ll not only brush up on your JavaScript but also on using a foreign API. Flexbox Zombies is another educational game to learn flexbox syntax. Each section advances a zombie-related plot while giving you expertise in a new flexbox concept, along with survival challenges that help you use your new flexbox skills.
I do use vim-jsx-pretty to fill in some behavior gaps when using JSX, but that’s about it. Two areas that I am lacking are support for styled-components and mdx. You just need to place .vimrc in your home directory, and that’s all. All
plugins and dependencies will install automatically upon first vim launch. In Vim there is the leader key, which is by default \ , but you can change it in any
time.
Coc: Conquer of Completion
In a nut shell, if you expect Vim to work exactly like the text editor you currently use, you will forever hate it; and we all know hatred leads to the dark side. Battling through the many frustrations and difficulties with Vim was not easy. Although the utter “Help me I’m drowning” feeling of the first week had gone, every day required some investigation to solve a problem the ‘Vim way’. And sculpting my .vimrc (the gateway to Vim sanity) became a daily ritual.
If you miss the features of VsCode on Vim coc.vim is definitely the way to go. Anyway, when you will be ready for some serious development you will change your mind. Currently it doesn’t make sense to argue with you or try to prove something. This is great for prototyping but it isn’t sustainable for something intended for production. Like “better”, productive can also be a subjective term unless you’re going to attach specific metrics to it. If you can do that, I would honestly like to see the metrics you use and why you chose them.
Files & Navigation – Edit
We regularly share things we are learning and when we are on pairing sessions the following questions or statements are common… There are many more built-in lists available in telescope (and others you can
add via plugs or by yourself), but the following are the ones I use regularly. Well, in a recent podcast of The Changlog – Episode #457 called Why Neovim? Nice and good loking status bar for vim, nicely integrated with syntastic and fugitive.
It has an extensive plugin system that gives you much control in customizing its functions. It also supports hundreds of programming languages and file formats—and even supports lots of human languages and graphical characters like Unicode. Vim even lets you visually and manually highlight text, and has auto-commands that can complete whatever you were going to input. The following is a quick 2 minute tour using Neovim and Tmux to navigate
around multiple projects and files.

Simple enough that I don’t really need an IDE to do them quickly. I have watched many people over pull out hair trying to figure out why a project doesn’t compile when it turned out the IDE wasn’t configured properly for that project. Sure, an IDE works great out of the box, until it doesn’t. It, too, works great out of the box, until it doesn’t meet your needs.
You can create custom menus, and use many custom sources with Denite as a layer on top. SQLBolt (same creators as RegexOne) includes 19 simple interactive exercises to gradually teach you how to use SQL. Jamstack Attack is a series of mini-games to practice different aspects of front-end development. This is done by following instructions that run SQL queries against a real dataset, going through 5 chapters that take approximately 30 minutes each to complete.
