System Settings

Moving the screen with Up/Down (normal editors) or with J/K (vim) is not efficient.

However we all do it sometimes. Why not to set shorter stroke rate so the screen moves faster.

Set key stroke rate
xset r rate 200 20

Remap Caps lock to Escape

If case you wan to use vim / neovim / vi shell mode. I can not enough recommend you to remap caps lock key to escape.

Plugins

Conquer of Completition

Install nodejs >= 10.12:

curl -sL install-node.now.sh/lts | bash

morhetz/gruvbox theme

Add Plugins in the Config File

Usually this is the very first lines of the init.vim file.

init.vim
call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugins')

Plug 'neoclide/coc.nvim', {'branch': 'release'}
Plug 'morhetz/gruvbox'

call plug#end()

Restart nvim and run :PlugInstall.
