First off, just get neovim installed on your system. If you have a Mac (or Linux) and Homebrew installed, you can just do brew install neovim.
Once you get it installed, the way that helped me get used to it the most was literally the built-in vimtutor. You can find out more info about it by typing :help vimtutor, and if you just want to run it, you can type :Tutor. It really helps you get the hang of moving around and doing cool shit in (n)vim.
I also really enjoyed this Vim adventure game, and it definitely helped me learn more of the tricks: https://vim-adventures.com/
Once you get used to it, you’re gonna love it and there’s no going back!
I’ve wanted to try this for quite some time. Always struggled getting started. Any tips or pointers for getting a minimal setup working?
