I’ve cancelled today. I had no plans to and here I am now using Apple Passwords and, thanks to recommendations in this thread, Uplock with a one off payment for the lifetime license. That’s one less ongoing subscription. Good stuff!

Thanks very much for both tips - will retry the Shortcuts/Home trick again in a short while!

I’d never heard of Cape before you mentioned, so that’s definitely something for me to look into too.

Thanks very much for taking the time to reply with all this information, very much appreciated!

How are you protecting the shortcut app indirectly like this? I’ve had a quick go but can’t get it to work. I probably need to try again when I’ve actually woken up…

Thanks, I appreciate the reply and will be keeping an eye on your work for sure

Nice work! Any plans to be a bit more batteries included, along the lines of Helix?

I’ve just switched to Kanagawa and really appreciate how easy it is on the eyes. I think I’ll need to make some small tweaks to either the colorscheme or the mini.statusline config as the highlights seem a bit off for this one case, but it’s really a pleasure to work with

Thirded. I’m just about to start a re-read

Haha I was wondering that too! A die hard virtual lines fan I think 😂

Leader t d here (t for toggle on/off). Also not a fan of having virtual lines always on display

1. No they don’t, these are different types of ISA. 2. I recently opened one with Tembo that pays 4.8%. Not to be sniffed at for folks that need to keep cash for house deposits etc

Thank you! That’s great to hear, and makes perfect sense. I really appreciate your reply and the work that you do!

Really looking forward to some of these new features!

One thing I’m trying to understand is what happened when I disabled the startup tips. A new config was written out - with an handy backup of my old one, but the new one was hundreds of lines longer.

In many ways the new one seemed to reflect the original, and was perhaps just making the defaults explicit. However I’m not sure it was a complete representation as the new one set session_serialization false whereas my original config would have been relying on the default value of true here.

So basically I completely discarded the new/generated config and manually added the line to disable startup tips myself. But now I’m not sure whether there was anything essential in the new config that I’m missing!

I’ll have more time to look into this later, but this was definitely a bit on the confusing side considering all I was trying to do was turn off the tips.

(I’m not sure if it makes a difference but I use tmux mode heavily in Zellij as I find it easier to work with than locking/unlocking/etc, perhaps I’m an edge case!)

You could pair this with a check for vim.g.neovide being true so it only applies to Neovide

This is amazing! The only strange thing I’ve found is I can make neovim hang by following links that (I think…) lead to the page I’m already on. Like heading to the page for man and then following a link to apropos. Not investigated deeply! And either way this is a game changer!

It looks like rustaceanvim may get me a little closer to what I want, via its hover actions feature

Agreed! I realised I may not have been clear, I meant that doing without Mason is my preferred approach!

This happens to be my preferred way of configuring lsp and linters

My understanding is that there will be an official package manager at some point and more things included out of the box. v1.0 is still a good way off

Ah that makes sense, thanks

I’m not 100% certain as I’m a little out of date on this stuff and I do use nvim-lspconfig but I’m fairly sure that these days Neovim will find LSPs in the path

Mason isn’t essential as I dont think helix has an equivalent package manager and instead relies on LSPs etc being in the path

Agreed. The speed of Telescope (even with native integrations enabled) was one of my main reasons for nearly switching back to Helix. Snacks picker really is a lot better, and a lot faster

Not quite as fast as far as I know (but I’ve not tried fzf-lua)

But it really is dramatically faster than Telescope when dealing with a huge number of files, while having a very similar UI and experience

This was my biggest gripe with Telescope, and something I missed in Neovim vs Helix (which also has a file picker with a similar UI).

Snacks picker completely solves the issue: searching all files in my home directory is snappy and I can start typing text to filter on immediately. Doing the same with Telescope hangs for several seconds with no input being accepted until it’s ready.

In short: I’m very happy with the move to Snacks; was a fairly simple switch too.

For one thing it’s significantly faster than Telescope when finding/filtering files by name in a large codebase or home directory (etc)

This is what I do. It’s a bit annoying but it works for me and isn’t quite annoying enough to move away from standard vim with a plugin
