This week I Talk About Getting A Coach For Your Business [powerpress]

En este nuevo episodio del podcast nos sumergimos de lleno en la evolución constante de Neovim para asegurar que tu entorno de desarrollo y tu productividad sigan a la vanguardia en 2025.Como sabéis, mi podcast "atareao con Linux" se centra en Linux y el software de código abierto, con un estilo muy práctico y orientado a tutoriales, buscando ofrecer soluciones y métodos para mejorar la productividad. Y no hay mejor herramienta para la productividad que un editor de código optimizado.De vez en cuando, es crucial revisar qué se está cocinando en el mundo Neovim, no solo para incorporar novedades sino para actualizar y optimizar la configuración de plugins ya existentes. Es un mundo que no para, con nuevos complementos apareciendo constantemente. Por eso, un año después de mi último recopilatorio similar (episodio 649, donde, por cierto, 3 de 5 plugins siguen siendo fundamentales), he vuelto a hacer un paseo por dotfiles.El resultado son cinco complementos que son IMPRESCINDIBLES para cualquiera que busque la máxima eficiencia al codificar, administrar archivos o gestionar repositorios, todo dentro de Neovim.Estos son los 5 Plugins que te permitirán EXPRIMIR Neovim:atone: Una auténtica genialidad y un descubrimiento que no imaginaba. Se trata de un árbol de deshacer visual. Este plugin resuelve el problema de tener que deshacer todos los cambios para volver a un estado anterior; con :Atone abres un historial visual donde puedes navegar y restaurar fácilmente. Es como tener un control de versiones a nivel de edición local.flash: Pasamos una enorme cantidad de tiempo navegando por nuestro código. flash es más que una simple mejora de los movimientos f o t; permite saltar a cualquier parte del texto de manera eficiente, buscar palabras completas o patrones, y realizar búsquedas contextuales, por ejemplo, saltando directamente a la siguiente función o variable. Acelera tu flujo de trabajo de forma dramática.tiny-inline-diagnostic: Este plugin soluciona uno de los problemas más molestos con los diagnósticos largos, especialmente los de Rust (que son increíblemente verbosos): el texto se cortaba. Ahora, con este complemento, los mensajes de error y sugerencias aparecen completos en vivo y en directo, sin necesidad de recurrir a plugins auxiliares.NeoGit: Un complemento que tenía instalado pero no interiorizado, y que he recuperado con un atajo de teclado () para forzar su uso. Neogit es una interfaz de usuario completa para git dentro de Neovim. Facilita todas las operaciones comunes de Git (ver estado, hacer commits, gestionar ramas) sin tener que abandonar la comodidad de tu editor. Un gran paso hacia la centralización de tareas de desarrollo.yazi: Finalmente, he resucitado este complemento que me permite utilizar el gestor de archivos Yazi integrado en Neovim. Aunque uso Neotree, la familiaridad y rapidez de Yazi para tareas específicas, como renombrar y reorganizar archivos de episodios, es una gran ventaja en mi flujo de trabajo.Más información y enlaces en las notas del episodio
