Neovim
Neovim is a fork of Vim aiming to improve user experience, plugins, and GUIs.
Installation
Configuration
Transition from vim
Neovim uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim
instead of ~/.vim
as its main configuration directory and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim/init.vim
instead of ~/.vimrc
as its main configuration file. To use your vim configuration in neovim execute the following commands which will create the appropriate symlinks:
$ mkdir -p ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:=$HOME/.config} $ ln -s ~/.vim $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim $ ln -s ~/.vimrc $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim/init.vim
To get more info about the transition run the following command in neovim:
:help nvim-from-vim
