| ### Hints And Tips For New Neovimmers | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Neovim is a very rich and powerful environment, but it can also feel a bit | ||||
| intimidating for new users trying to find their way around, especially if | ||||
| they're coming from other environments like Visual Studio Code or a traditional | ||||
| IDE. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| There's no way this README can provide you with everything you need to know, but | ||||
| here are a few tips so you can learn how to learn. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ### Use The Help, Luke! | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Neovim's help system is incredibly thorough and extensive. You should really | ||||
| take a moment to get comfortable navigating through help topics, going back and | ||||
| forth, navigating the menus, etc. This won't just help you read the help, it | ||||
| will empower you in the rest of your Neovim journey. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| You can double click on a topic to drill down, and hit Ctrl-o (Hold down the | ||||
| Control key and the 'o' key) to go back. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Read the first page you get when you run :help carefully. it will serve you | ||||
| well. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| You can also get help on a particular thing by typing ":help <topic>". | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Like, let's say we want to learn more about folding, just type ":help folding". | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ### To The Telescope! | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| One of the more powerful features you get by installing this project is the | ||||
| brilliant Telescope plugin co-written by @tjdevries. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Take a minute to browse through ":help telescope" and get a sense for all the | ||||
| amazing superpowers you've gained. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| In particular, there are two Telescope features that are incredible for helping | ||||
| you understand how to do a particular thing or how to configure a particular | ||||
| feature. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| If you're not sure what to look for, try ":Telescope help_tags". Let's say we | ||||
| want to configure Neovim to automatically word wrap. We might type ":Telescope | ||||
| help_tags" and then type w, r, a, p. Notice how the list of results changes with | ||||
| each new letter you type? When you're done you've got a screen full of topics | ||||
| involving word wrap. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Another common question is "What keys do I hit to make a thing happen?". To get | ||||
| an answer, one way is to use ":Telescope keymaps". You'll get the same list of | ||||
| results that changes to adapt with each new key you press. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| With these hints in mind you should be in good shape to get learning. Remember, | ||||
| you are on a journey of discovery here, adapting your programming environment to | ||||
| your needs. It will take effort, but the rewards are worth it! :) | ||||
