Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability

perf(lsp): load buffer contents once when processing semantic token responses Using _get_line_byte_from_position() for each token's boundaries was a pretty huge bottleneck, since that function would load individual buffer lines via nvim_buf_get_lines() (plus a lot of extra overhead). So each token caused two calls to nvim_buf_get_lines() (once for the start position, and once for the end position). For semantic tokens, we only attach to buffers that have already been loaded, so we can safely just get all the lines for the entire buffer at once, and lift the rest of the _get_line_byte_from_position() implementation directly while bypassing the part that loads the buffer line. While I was looking at get_lines (used by _get_line_byte_from_position), I noticed that we were checking for non-file URIs before we even looked to see if we already had the buffer loaded. Moving the buffer-loaded check to be the first thing done in get_lines() more than halved the average time spent transforming the token list into highlight ranges vs when it was still using _get_line_byte_from_position. I ended up improving that loop more by not using get_lines, but figured the performance improvement it provided was worth leaving in. |

Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:
- Simplify maintenance and encourage contributions
- Split the work between multiple developers
- Enable advanced UIs without modifications to the core
- Maximize extensibility
See the Introduction wiki page and Roadmap for more information.

Install from package
Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the Releases page.
Managed packages are in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Void Linux, Gentoo, and more!
Install from source
See the Building Neovim wiki page and supported platforms for details.
The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience. After installing the dependencies, run the following command.
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
CMake hints for inspecting the build:
cmake --build build --target helplists all build targets.build/CMakeCache.txt(orcmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.build/compile_commands.jsonshows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
Transitioning from Vim
