An exploration of adopting Helix-isms into my Neovim workflow

Great keybindings if you want multiple cursors in neovim with a plugin

Neovim 0.12.0 was released on March 29, 2026. This release adds a built-in plugin manager, expands built-in LSP support, introduces native insert-mode auto-completion, improves the default UI and statusline, adds several useful Lua APIs, and includes a number of breaking changes that may require config updates.

This guide is organized around the changes that matter most in day-to-day use, with practical examples and a short migration checklist at the end.

I just released v2 of Toney, A TUI Note-taking app for the terminal.

PS: Actively looking for contributors! It would be great if you could star the repo, I am a student and it really helps applications. Thanks!

I've been using the [#HelixEditor](https://hachyderm.io/tags/HelixEditor) as my daily driver for the better part of a year now and I couldn't be more happy with it. I've managed to get a near-IDE setup and experience thanks to zellij and some awesome TUI tools.
This article aligns well with my experience, I recommend reading it if you're "modal editor curious" or dissatisfied with your (neo)vim config maintenance burden.

TIL about "digraphs" in (neo)vim. Need to insert, say, an en dash, which has a digraph of -N? In insert mode, ctrl-k, hypen, N. Want to check the digraph of a character already in your file? ga to show ascii, and look at the "Digr" notation. You would see e.g. "Digr =e" for the euro symbol.

Someone needs to port this [#Markdown](https://mastodon.social/tags/Markdown) presentation tool from [#Neovim](https://mastodon.social/tags/Neovim) to [#emacs](https://mastodon.social/tags/emacs) -- the two lines at the top and the centered title make a much more presentation-like impression on me than most [#orgmode](https://mastodon.social/tags/orgmode) presentation tools that just use whatever font settings you have.

If you're using AI for coding or prose in Neovim, don't forget to try out <<https://github.com/olimorris/codecompanion.nvim>> and <<https://github.com/milanglacier/minuet-ai.nvim>>!

Both work seamlessly with local models using OpenAI compatible API, e.g., llama-server from llama.cpp <3

A detailed post, including settings to make it easier on your muscle memory.

I read the first two chapters of

<https:lazyvim-ambitious-devs.phillips.codes/>

Very well written, concise course / e-book by Dusty Phillips. Gives context when needed and even explains a bit of Vim basics which I did not know. I am currently experimenting it using the NVIM_APPNAME environment variable but the results are impressive so far. I might swap my handwritten configuration for what comes out of this course.

I have always loved [#neovim](https://dotnet.social/tags/neovim)'s github commit style, but assumed it was just a project-style-guide thing. Now a realise that is has been standardized:

<https:www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/>
"Conventional Commits: A specification for adding human and machine readable meaning to commit messages "

This is a sample in the wild:

If you'd prefer a more wizard-like interface for search-and-replacing in [#Neovim](https://hachyderm.io/tags/Neovim), grug-far might be your cup of tea: <https://github.com/MagicDuck/grug-far.nvim>

If you use poetry to manage your venv for each repo, you can also do: poetry shell to use start the virtualenv, and then run nvim . to start coding.

Provided that your dap is setup like this:

local dap = require("dap")  
dap.configurations.python = {  
 {  
 type = "python",  
 request = "launch",  
 name = "Launch file",  
 program = "${file}",  
 pythonPath = "python",  
 },  
}

TIL: if I want to debug [#python](https://gts.cupcakerob.nl/tags/python) :python: in [#neovim](https://gts.cupcakerob.nl/tags/neovim) :nvim:
your imported packages need to be in the same python env that debugpy is.

Now in [#LazyVim](https://gts.cupcakerob.nl/tags/lazyvim) , [#mason](https://gts.cupcakerob.nl/tags/mason) installs debugpy in it's own venv and the debug adapter can't find the other packages

so: install debugpy in your venv and run

:lua require('dap-python').setup('./venv/bin/python')

or use vscode/pycharm or something if you have a life ;-)

For all the [#neovim](https://mastodon.social/tags/neovim) and [#vim](https://mastodon.social/tags/vim) lovers out there that are also using [#firefox](https://mastodon.social/tags/firefox) - as we all should do - here is something to play with on this fine [#sunday](https://mastodon.social/tags/sunday)

<https:github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl> -- [#tridactyl](https://mastodon.social/tags/tridactyl)
A Vim-like interface for Firefox, inspired by Vimperator/Pentadactyl.

DIe Macht in Dosen, ich sags euch.

If you'd like to soft-wrap only the current time, this [#Neovim](https://hachyderm.io/tags/Neovim) plugin implements the functionality by using floating windows and virtual text: <https://github.com/benlubas/wrapping-paper.nvim>
