Tips and Traps

  1. NeoVim with a complicated configuration (e.g., SpaceVim) might be too slow when editing a large (>50M) text file. One trick helps is to disable plugins when editing large files. For example, you can use the following command to edit a large file without loading plugins.
    nvim --noplugin /path/to/large/text/file
