I use neovim as default editor, tho sometimes used vscode :P
it will make you very efficient and productive if and only if you've been used into it.
TL;DR this post cover most common usage pattern in my personal workflow while editing code with neovim.
pipe command output to new buffer
sometimes you want to search some text from the command's result but it will gone when you press enter, to prevent that you can pipe it to new buffer:
text
:enew|pu=execute('the-command')
and don't forget to unload the new buffer from memory when you've done with it by using :bd
I often use this when I want to execute scriptnames or se!.
styling
for default color scheme, I prefer vim-like rather than newly introduced neovim color scheme.
:colorscheme vim
