vim tricks

My personal cheatsheets for vim-IDE keybindings

You can find my complete nvim configs here

Note this config doesn’t work out of the box. Manual installation/configuation of come packages are required: Packer for most of the plugins, Plugged for “legacy” plugins that don’t work well with lua script based config.

Also, this is only for Neovim.
