Need more approachable way to use and learn in-situ (lemmy.world)

Is there some intuitive menu mode that is simple to initiate? The packaged setup with dnf on F40 only has the colon help menu enabled. I don't care about mouse Luddites or the remarkableness of people with total recall. I need something like gedit level tools to just work without Planck scale resolution help, or learning career to make a useful hobby tool that is free from stalkerware nonsense like an electron based IDE.

I'll be honest, I'm not sure what you want here. Might just be tired but I legit cannot understand what you're asking.

If you're looking for an easier way to learn than reading the docs the plugin which-key is good at that.

As for a right click menu, sorry, I can't help there. I haven't seen any good plugin for that yet.

Edit: Maybe this for right click menu?

As for general menu for settings you're not going to get that here. Sorry about that. It'd be a cool thing to see though I'm not at all against such a plugin existing. Not sure I'd use it personally though.

Wish you the best nonetheless. If you're unable find what you want in vim BTW, maybe try out EMACS. They tend to be more pro-gui there. I do sincerly hope nvim works out for you though
