Supercharge Your Vim Workflow: Essential Tips and Plugins for Efficiency

In this video, I (Bob) share my Vim setup (the 80/20) and the useful shortcuts and plugins I use every day.

I discuss setting up a leader key to extend the power of Vim shortcuts, using the fzf plugin for fast file navigation, and jedi-vim for quickly navigating external modules and getting autocomplete suggestions.

I also talk about using a plugin to check for syntax errors before saving, setting up an "undo file" for a larger history, and Python-specific tabs and spaces settings.

As a bonus, I share tips for opening files in split mode and using GitHub Copilot with Neovim.
