TJ made a nice video about how to start with neovim and its configuration. I hope that this link is not against the rules since it’s about neovim and not about vim … Personally I find those 2 very very alike and with the features that I need for my daily work, I can use either one of them without noticing any difference.

I’m not sure I’m the right person to ask (my learning path has been pretty unconventional) but really basic lua scripting would have helped me. I’m at the beginner stage where too many things don’t make sense, but I just keep attacking from different angles and now some things are starting to click. It just takes time.
