Feedback on README new user dark hole

Open AddictArts opened this issue 4 months ago • 2 comments

Thank you so much for doing this and it is so helpful. I am initially on Windows and will use on Linux as well. Windows worked out of the box as shown.

This sentence though, so early in the process is dangerous.

Use :Lazy to view current plugin status.

If this is done the new user will be lost and frustrated with questions like,:

  1. How do I exit that since it is overwhelming and I want to get back to the tutorial?
  2. ? has no mention of how to exit, crazy!
  3. It suggests or implies Ctrl-C as useful and nvim is killed or doesn't like it, suggests :qa and viola no more tutor or editing or anything.
  4. Hidden in there is :q I guess as the secret quit, but that is a guess.

This is an amazing effort and tool and so appreciated. I personally don't think the user should be hinted to press the red button, because they will.

Bonus suggestion: The video shows a :qa and then nvim and then :e $MYVIMRC, that is useful and missing.

I'd consider making a PR for README update if desired. Thanks again.
