SCNvim is the plugin that makes it possible for us to work with SuperCollider inside of NeoVim. SCNvim - A NeoVim frontend for SuperCollider This is done using a plugin manager - I highly recommend packer.nvim but you can use whatever you like.
#SUPERCOLLIDER YOUTUBE HOW TO#
In this post I won’t go into details on how to install each plugin.
To get the most out of the lua api of NeoVim, it is important that you always have the latest version of NeoVim installed (at least version 0.5 which was a major release for the lua stuff). In this post I will write all configuration using lua. NeoVim solves this by allowing users to write all of their configurations and plugins using lua - a tiny, fast and frankly FUN programming language that you could potentially learn in 15 minutes (this is an overstatement but it’s good marketing). This works perfectly fine in NeoVim, but it is frankly a nightmare to use that language for anything other than basic configuration. Originally, vim was configured using a language called vimscript ( this is a nice resource for learning that language). NeoVim is a fork of Vim, and I won’t get into the history of that here, but in terms of configuration this has a slightly confusing but important consequence. A common mistake is to install tons of plugins and copy configurations from other people, but it is really important that you understand what each plugin does or what each line of configuration is doing to your system - otherwise you will end up with a bloated system with a ton of features and configuration that you do not know exist, let alone how to use them (I made all of these mistakes when I started out!). If you prefer videos, there are a gazillion video tutorials on YouTube and the like.Ī final but very important note to new vim users is: Don’t blindly copy-paste configurations and plugins.

This blog series is another great resurce for newbies and seasoned users alike (I read it frequently).
My favourite if these and the one I recommend you open from time to time is :h motions.txt - reading this from time to time will turbo charge your editing speed.
#SUPERCOLLIDER YOUTUBE MANUAL#
Vim also has a reference manual which is more in the style of cheat sheets or extensive lists of commands and key bindings. The vim manual can be accessed by running :h usr_toc.txt or if you want a nicely formatted version of it online: vim.help. You can access it by running :Tutor inside of Vim. Vim comes with a small tutorial that I recommend all new users go through. Whenever in doubt, try looking at the help system for help. The way to use it is to type :h where you replace with your search term. Vim comes with a fantastic help system with a lot of documentation. It will help you immensely and make it much more fun to use NeoVim as a SuperCollider IDE, so here is some advice for the newbie Vim user: If you are new to using (Neo)Vim, I would strongly recommend spending time learning the basics of the program before diving into all of this stuff. I get a lot of questions about setting up NeoVim for SuperCollider usage and so this post is a collection of advice, configuration and links to help you get started with using NeoVim and SuperCollider together. Then came NeoVim and in time, David Granström wrote the SCNvim plugin for NeoVim and I have been using this for all my SuperCollider coding since it came out. When I started out with SuperCollider, the only option was to use classic vim with scvim - and while this was nice, a lot of things were missing for me and/or buggy.

This in turn makes me a faster coder and makes the code itself better and more readable. The advantages of (Neo)Vim are many but for me the primary ones are that it is a keyboard centric tool, it’s lightweight, it is highly configurable and it works everywhere. The programming language comes with an IDE that is quite capable, but I for one prefer doing all of my coding in one editor (sometimes I write C++, lua and SuperCollider in one and the same project and this allows me to do it in just one editor instance) and that editor for me is NeoVim. SuperCollider is my favourite programming language for music and sound and I use it all the time.
