  • Summary

    • Installs LazyVim from scratch (backing up prior Neovim state), demos leader/fuzzy picker (fzf-lua default; Telescope available), notification dismiss (leader u … n), buffer options, and points at the official keymaps table — see LazyVim/Doc/Keymaps.

  • Highlights

    • if you've already used lazy in the past maybe just as a package manager like I did this should look very familiar
      

    • don't worry telescope is also available here but it doesn't come as the default option which I'm not actually sure why
      

      • LazyVim's default fuzzy finder for files uses telescope.lua configured with a fuzzy file picker, though the author notes that telescope is also available as an alternative option.

    • remember space starts the main command pallet space space and your files pop in a fuzzy picker
      

    • I don't know if the notifications above annoy you as much as they annoy me but luckily these are coming from FKS notifications which is also the author of lazy so we were blessed with a notification manager ler and youu opens the UI options allowing control of animations background color schemes and many other visual options including yes dismissing notifications with n so leader and you does the trick and whatever no ifications on the screen disappear immediately
      

      • To dismiss notifications, you press leader and then u (leader + u) to open the notification manager options, where you can then press n to dismiss notifications.

    • buffers lazy comes with a bunch of options too many actually
      

      • good point! too many options. not sure what it means to pick one and roll with it tho

    • all of lazy V's default mappings can be of course found in a nice table in the docs and I suggest going through it at least once to see what resonates with you and match your workflow
      

      • see https://www.lazyvim.org/keymaps or https://read.readwise.io/new/read/01m032vkewx64ct28jhms1fe47

    • I want to stress out again how important it is to go through the list of mappings where I found gems like the mapping for creating a comment above or below line using GCO or GC capital o or get this leader ft to pop a terminal with a current working directory just like you do with your typical ID
