Thanks Mario, this has been a great way to start my neovim journey. All is running well, however my icons aren't showing. How would I begin to diagnose this?

@connorjcantrell The icons when using ctrlp after installing vim-devicons? If yes, then you need patched font that includes those icons, you can get yours from https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tree/master/patched-fonts For example I'm using "FiraCode Nerd Font" and I have ligatures enabled as well.

I hope that works!

@MarioCarrion Sorry, the icons for the file extensions. Like the gopher for Go and "JS" for Javascript

@connorjcantrell Do you mean the ones for the vim-airline? That one also uses the patched fonts and vim-devicons; if not can you upload a screenshot somewhere so what which one you mean?
