So glad I read the docs!

I started with Vim/Neovim about 6 months ago, and, like a lot of newbies who try to build from scratch, I've been simultaneously loving the experience and struggling under the weight of an insane number of plugins. I had decent functionality, but I've been wanting to switch to a cleaner setup that still does the billion weird and very specific things I want it to do. My setup with lazy.nvim had become so brittle and bloated (100% my fault, not lazy's) that I was afraid to even look at it.

So today I decided I'd just change my plugin manager. It would be a small step, and I knew it would take weeks or months to get another setup that felt like home, but it was probably the best way to start. I decided to take a chance on mini.deps, which I'd seen someone praise on Reddit. So I started a new config, copy-pasted my non-plugin-related settings, set up mini.deps, and got ready to start porting over plugins for the rest of my life. Then I read the mini.nvim docs.

Long story short, it's a few hours later, and I've got the full functionality I had before, every single thing I wanted to keep (and more!), with no mysterious error messages or startup lag...and only 5 plugins other than mini. I'm blown away.

To single one thing out -- as I was setting up mini.completion, I thought, "This is fine, but a little uncomfortable, I'll just have to get used to it." Then I came across the keybinding recipes for TAB and CR you included in the documentation, implemented them, and what you provided was absolutely perfect, precisely what I had in mind, and the experience is frictionless now. I completely understand why you didn't include them as default behaviors, but your thoughtfulness and thoroughness in including them in the docs is so impressive and so rare that that's really what motivated me to leave this excessively long comment.

Anyway, this is all just to say that I'm so grateful for what you've provided, and I'm so looking forward to exploring the modules I haven't set up yet.

Huge thank you for kind words! They truly inspire me to make 'mini.nvim' even better!

You deserve a praise yourself for actually reading the help/docs. And even in the span of several hours! Not everyone has the attention span to do that. The habit of reading help (or dare I say even enjoying doing so) is in my opinion a big part of having a good Neovim experience (not only with 'mini.nvim').
