NVIM REFERENCE MANUAL
Nvim *nvim* *nvim-intro*
Nvim is based on Vim by Bram Moolenaar.
If you already use Vim see |nvim-from-vim| for a quickstart.
If you are new to Vim, try the 30-minute tutorial: >
:Tutor<Enter>
Nvim is emphatically a fork of Vim, not a clone: compatibility with Vim
(especially editor and Vimscript features) is maintained where possible. See
|vim-differences| for the complete reference of differences from Vim.
Type |gO| to see the table of contents.
==============================================================================
Transitioning from Vim *nvim-from-vim*
1. To start the transition, create your |init.vim| (user config) file: >
:call mkdir(stdpath('config'), 'p')
:exe 'edit '.stdpath('config').'/init.vim'
2. Add these contents to the file: >
set runtimepath^=~/.vim runtimepath+=~/.vim/after
let &packpath = &runtimepath
source ~/.vimrc
3. Restart Nvim, your existing Vim config will be loaded.
See |provider-python| and |provider-clipboard| for additional software you
might need to use some features.
Your Vim configuration might not be entirely Nvim-compatible (see
|vim-differences|). For example the |'ttymouse'| option was removed from Nvim,
because mouse support is always enabled if possible. If you use the same
|vimrc| for Vim and Nvim you could guard |'ttymouse'| in your configuration
like so:
>
if !has('nvim')
set ttymouse=xterm2
endif
And for Nvim-specific configuration, you can do this:
>
if has('nvim')
tnoremap <Esc> <C-\><C-n>
endif
For a more granular approach use |exists()|:
>
if exists(':tnoremap')
tnoremap <Esc> <C-\><C-n>
endif
Now you should be able to explore Nvim more comfortably. Check |nvim-features|
for more information.
*portable-config*
Because Nvim follows the XDG |base-directories| standard, configuration on
Windows is stored in ~/AppData instead of ~/.config. But you can still share
the same Nvim configuration on all of your machines, by creating
~/AppData/Local/nvim/init.vim containing just this line: >
source ~/.config/nvim/init.vim
