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.
See nvim-from-vim or the :help nvim-from-vim
neovim command to use your vim configuration in neovim.
Loading vim addons
If you would like to use plugins, syntax definitions, or other addons that are installed for vim, you can add the default vim runtime path to neovim by adding it to the rtp
. For example, you could run the following within nvim or add it to your neovim config:
set rtp^=/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/
