neovim with plugins.

Neovim...without plugins.

I don't have a lot, mostly just quality of life improvements for neovim like a good true color scheme, DAP debugging integration and some minor tweaks.

Even though I cannot get along with the desktop environment, I am a big fan of kde's software.

In this specific case that would be: kate.

(actually, I prefer kwrite, but kwrite doesn't support tabs)

Regular vim, although I don't use the tab feature -- {v,}split is usually sufficient if I need to open multiple files at once.

Text Editor(gnome)
Yeah my classmates criticize me for the lack off fancy features too, but I don't wanna learn all the fancy features.

Quoting: ShmerlI don't have a lot, mostly just quality of life improvements for neovim like a good true color scheme, DAP debugging integration and some minor tweaks.

Admittedly, I actually have a single plugin: lf.vim.

I can use netrw fine, but it's a little inefficient, so I replaced it with lf directly.

I use good old desert colorscheme.

I use Neovim for front-end web dev (and writing, and general notes, and ...), so I get real-time debugging anyway. Depending on how far I get into learning C, I might be adding a debugger. I wanted to make my setup as standard as possible so I wasn't relying on third-party features if I, for some reason, needed to use vanilla Vim.

So, netrw is fine! But give me lf, please.

Oh, I forgot to mention fzf.lua. It's very useful and I use it regularly: https://github.com/ibhagwan/fzf-lua

I don't plan to use regular vim, so I don't mind Lua plugins. Neovim has a lot of powerful ones.

I actually think the default kde install works perfectly well for me in this case. I use it all the time for work stuff. Kate.

My go to text editor is geany. Is fast and really stable.

For quick stuff usually the fastest is vim.
