Several people have suggested that the "by Bram" byline is misleading, it implies that Bram is actively involved with the project. Up to now we left it as an homage. Bram agreed that it is misleading, and suggested a mention somewhere other than the intro.

NVIM REFERENCE MANUAL

Nvim *nvim* *nvim-intro*
|
|
|
|
Nvim is based on Vim by Bram Moolenaar.
|
|
|
|
If you are new to Vim see |help.txt|, or type ":Tutor".
|
|
If you already use Vim see |nvim-from-vim| for a quickstart.
|
|
|
|
Nvim is emphatically a fork of Vim, not a clone: compatibility with Vim is
|
|
maintained where possible. See |vim_diff.txt| for the complete reference of
|
|
differences from Vim.
|
|
|
|
Type <M-]> to see the table of contents.

|
|
Transitioning from Vim *nvim-from-vim*
|
|
|
|
To start the transition, create ~/.config/nvim/init.vim with these contents:
|
|
>
|
|
set runtimepath^=~/.vim runtimepath+=~/.vim/after
|
|
let &packpath = &runtimepath
|
|
source ~/.vimrc
|
|
<
|
|
Note: If your system sets `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, use that instead of `~/.config`
|
|
in the code above. Nvim follows the XDG |base-directories| convention.
|
|
|
|
See |provider-python| and |provider-clipboard| for additional software you
|
|
might need to use some features.
|
|
|
|
Your Vim configuration might not be entirely compatible with Nvim. For a
|
|
full list of differences between Vim and Nvim see |vim-differences|.
|
|
|
|
The |'ttymouse'| option, for example, was removed from Nvim (mouse support
|
|
should work without it). If you use the same |vimrc| for Vim and Nvim,
|
|
consider guarding |'ttymouse'| in your configuration like so:
|
|
>
|
|
if !has('nvim')
|
|
set ttymouse=xterm2
|
|
endif
|
|
<
|
|
Conversely, if you have Nvim specific configuration items, you could 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.
