Michael Reed 593d63f1d5 doc: Misc. improvements to nvim-related docs
- Improved wording in a few places for clarity
- Various capitalization/grammar fixes
- Change references to Neovim as 'editor' to 'Nvim'
- Be consistent regarding utilization of vim's documentation features,
  e.g. unnamedclip -> |unnamedclip|
- Reflowed all changed paragraphs accordingly

- Add spaces before parentheses
- Remove trailing whitespace
- Standardize single spaces after periods. Vim's docs use two for the
  most part, but Nvim's use one mainly, so just follow Nvim's conventions

NVIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Thiago de Arruda
Clipboard integration for Nvim *nvim-clipboard*
Nvim has no direct connection to the system clipboard. Instead, it is
accessible through the |nvim-provider| infrastructure, which transparently
uses shell commands for communicating with the clipboard.
Clipboard access is implicitly enabled if any of the following clipboard tools
is found in your `$PATH`.
- xclip
- xsel (newer alternative to xclip)
- pbcopy/pbpaste (only for Mac OS X)
The presence of a suitable clipboard tool implicitly enables the '+' and '*'
registers.
If you want to ALWAYS use the clipboard for ALL operations (as opposed
to interacting with the '+' and/or '*' registers explicitly), set the
following option:
>
set clipboard+=unnamedplus
<
See 'clipboard' for details and more options.
