As tools I use ripgrep and fzf for effective fuzzy finding. As plugins, the most important ones I use are:
- for LSP support and code completion: neovim/nvim-lspconfig,
hrsh7th/nvim-cmp and a bunch of hrsh7th/cmp-* ones - fzf integration: junegunn/fzf, ibhagwan/fzf-lua (way better and faster than telescope for my use case) - for MRU: pbogut/fzf-mru.vim
- for file navigation: nvim-tree
- and a few classic Tim Pope's one: tpope/vim-abolish,
tpope/vim-surround, tpope/vim-unimpaired, tpope/vim-fugitive, tpope/vim-repeat
Awesome! I'll give those a try. Speaking of neovim/vim/vi - do you have an issue with Konsole where typing commands in command mode puts a "q" at the beginning of the command line? I can show a screenshot if that helps.
Instead of tmux, I have 2 groups of 10 konsole tabs on two desktops. Ctrl+n switch tab, Ctrl+Fn switch desktop, so changing workspace is again a breeze. Many of those tabs have specific usage, so everything I need is always under my finger.
This is a great tip! I like tmux but I could see it being more intuitive and quicker using Konsole.
That is really subjective. Issues on TGW and bugs in the older bugzilla can inspire you to try something or provide some ideas, but also may get you lost in troubleshooting an issue which is not very clear. Personally I started with a small GUI enhancement that was important to me, that is middle click on a Kate tab bar button to close the file. So I would suggest you find something that bothers you (a bug, a missing feature...) and work on that. If it is something that you need, it will give you extra motivation when you will inevitably hit some obstacle along the way.
Sounds good, I already have a couple of ideas in mind. I still want to learn more about C++ so I likely won't be submitting any PRs for a while. :-)
Another little piece of advice: don't start with Konqueror. It is a huge beast, you would most likely get lost among all its internals. Start from smaller standalone applications, it will be a smoother experience. Kate is fairly big too, I started on the Kate tabbar plugin. Of course, YMMV depending on current experience and knowledge.
Thanks so much for the tips and advice! I truly appreciate your time. By the way, until I get more familiar with developer stuff, let me know if there are other ways I can assist in the project. Happy to do more "chore" type of work if there is any. Stuff like bug triaging, wiki cleanup, site design (HTML/CSS) refinement, anything database (SQL) related, etc.
Thanks, Mike
