+I've been using vim (specifically neovim) for over a year, I really enjoy how customizable it is, though up until today, I've only customized it through plugins made by other people. Today I wrote two Lua functions to streamline my workflow. I'm not very familiar with Lua but it was quite easy to pick up.
+
+First is a function to split my window so it would have two side by side, and a smaller one at the bottom, which gets turned into a terminal.
+
+```lua
+local createcodeenv = function ()
+  vim.cmd('split')
+  vim.cmd('wincmd j')
+  local win = vim.api.nvim_get_current_win()
+  local height = vim.api.nvim_win_get_height(win)
+  vim.api.nvim_win_set_height(win, height - 15)
+  vim.cmd('term')
+  vim.cmd('wincmd k')
+  vim.cmd('vsplit')
+  win = vim.api.nvim_get_current_win()
+  local buf = vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf()
+  vim.api.nvim_win_set_buf(win, buf)
+end
+vim.api.nvim_create_user_command('CodeEnv', createcodeenv, {})
+```
+
+Second is a function to bind writing a file and returning to Netrw (the file explorer) to one command, :We.
+
+```lua
+local writeGoToNetrw = function()
+  vim.cmd('w')
+  vim.cmd('Ex')
+end
+vim.api.nvim_create_user_command('We', writeGoToNetrw, {})
+```
+
+Both of these were things I did manually basically every time I used vim. Defining custom commands to make them easier was a fun learning experience, I look forward to learning more about customizing vim.
