Neovim
Neovim (Edit Code at the Speed of Thought)
Most beginners use a mouse to edit code. Most experienced engineers don’t.
They use Neovim.
What Is Neovim?
Neovim is a code editor that runs inside the terminal.
It is a modern, improved version of Vim, designed for:
- speed
- efficiency
- keyboard-only editing
Why Engineers Use Neovim
⚡ Extremely Fast
Neovim:
- starts instantly
- works smoothly even on large files
- runs inside the terminal
No waiting. No lag.
⌨️ Keyboard-First Workflow
Neovim is designed so your hands never leave the keyboard.
This:
- reduces fatigue
- increases focus
- makes editing faster over time
🧠 Built for Thinking, Not Clicking
Instead of clicking menus, you:
- use short commands
- think in actions (move, change, delete)
This matches how engineers think.
🔌 Highly Customizable
Neovim can be turned into:
- a full IDE
- a minimal editor
- anything in between
Many engineers build their own setup over time.
