I customized my NeoVim with autocompletion an here is how I did it๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ˜Ž ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‰

Ladies and Gentlemen, Here is how I customized my NeoVim text editor. But before we start some people don't know what NeoVim is.

NeoVim is a terminal text editor which is used to write codes in terminal.

It has some problems. It is not that user-friendly and doesn't have any autocompletion. After a long time, I've finally customized it. Here is how! -

Ingredients -

  1. NeoVim
  2. A PC with OS installed
  3. A stable internet Connection
  4. Node JS
  5. Yarn
  6. Vim-Plug
  7. Curl
  8. Git

First you want to go to .config/directory and You will see many folders. In that directory, Find NVIM directory in it. If you did not find the folder in .config/ directory then create a folder with the name nvim in small letters. Then In that directory create a file called init.vim.

Then go to and Install Vim-Plug as shown in the Post.

Open the init.vim in NeoVim and type the code below in the init.vim file. For inserting the file in NeoVim, open terminal and type nvim init.vim in the .config directory.
For those who are new to NeoVim watch the video given below.

You cannot use any other editor!

Now save the file and quit. Reopen the file and type PlugInstall. It will automatically starts to download the plugins. After that again save and quit.

Type Nvim and enjoy!
