Feedback on README new user dark hole
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,:
- How do I exit that since it is overwhelming and I want to get back to the tutorial?
?has no mention of how to exit, crazy!- 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.
- Hidden in there is
:qI 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.
Ya, if you have some thoughts about where the README could be updated for very new users, that would be super helpful!! We can iterate on some of the language changes there if you're interested. Thanks :)
@AddictArts - What about simply telling the user to use ? within Lazy to familiarize themselves with commands, and then q to exit?
The issue was ? doesn't actually mention how to quit the floating pane / lazy. Now that is a Lazy issue, right under Help before <C-c> it should say "q" to dismiss this pane. @feoh @tjdevries thanks for asking and I appreciate the responses and the kickstart.
I am very new to Neovim and really enjoying it. What you added is perfect. It really is a strange oversight by Lazy which is not this projects issue. Thanks agian and back to working my way through the init.lua.
