NVIM REFERENCE MANUAL
Differences between Nvim and Vim *vim-differences*
Throughout the help files, differences between Nvim and Vim are indicated via
the "{Nvim}" tag. This document is a complete and centralized list of all
these differences.
1. Configuration |nvim-configuration|
2. Option defaults |nvim-option-defaults|
3. Changed features |nvim-features-changed|
4. New features |nvim-features-new|
5. Missing legacy features |nvim-features-missing|
6. Removed features |nvim-features-removed|
==============================================================================
1. Configuration *nvim-configuration*
- Use ".nvimrc" instead of ".vimrc" for storing configuration.
- Use ".nvim" instead of ".vim" to store configuration files.
- Use ".nviminfo" instead of ".viminfo" for persistent session information.
==============================================================================
2. Option defaults *nvim-option-defaults*
- 'nocompatible' is always set
- 'encoding' defaults to "utf-8"
==============================================================================
3. Changed features *nvim-features-changed*
Nvim always builds with all features, in contrast to Vim which may have
certain features removed/added at compile-time. This is like if Vim's "HUGE"
build was the only Vim release type (except Nvim is smaller than Vim's "HUGE"
build).
If a Python interpreter is available on your `$PATH`, |:python| and |:python3|
are always available and may be used simultaneously in separate plugins. The
`neovim` pip package must be installed to use Python plugins in Nvim (see
|nvim-python|).
==============================================================================
4. New Features *nvim-features-new*
See |nvim-intro| for a list of Nvim's largest new features.
Meta key chords are recognized (even in the terminal).
- <M-1>, <M-2>, ...
- <M-BS>, <M-Del>, <M-Ins>, ...
- <M-/>, <M-\>, ...
- <M-Space>, <M-Enter>, <M-=>, <M-->, <M-?>, <M-$>, ...
CTRL-SHIFT-... key chords are distinguished from CTRL-... variants (even in
the terminal).
- <C-Tab>, <C-S-Tab>
- <C-BS>, <C-S-BS>
- <C-Enter>, <C-S-Enter>
Events:
- |TabNew|
- |TabNewEntered|
- |TabClosed|
Highlight groups:
- |hl-EndOfBuffer|
==============================================================================
5. Missing legacy features *nvim-features-missing*
These legacy Vim features may be implemented in the future, but they are not
planned for the current milestone.
- vim.bindeval() (new feature in Vim 7.4 Python interface)
- if_ruby
- if_lua
- if_perl
- if_mzscheme
- if_tcl
==============================================================================
6. Removed features *nvim-features-removed*
These features are in Vim, but have been intentionally removed from Nvim.
Vi-compatible mode
- ":set nocompatible" is ignored
- ":set compatible" is an error
Ed-compatible mode
- ":set noedcompatible" is ignored
- ":set edcompatible" is an error
'ttyfast'
- ":set ttyfast" is ignored
- ":set nottyfast" is an error
EBCDIC support
8.3 filesystem support
- 'shortname'
Encryption support
- 'cryptmethod'
- 'key'
MS-DOS support
- 'bioskey'
- 'conskey'
'shelltype'
":shell"
":mode", no longer accepts an argument
'textauto'
'textmode'
"Easy mode" (eview, evim, nvim -y)
"(g)vimdiff" (solely an alias for (g)nvim -d, i.e. |diff-mode|)
"Vi mode" (nvim -v)
The ability to start nvim via the following aliases has been removed in favor
of just using their command line arguments:
ex nvim -e
exim nvim -E
view nvim -R
gvim nvim -g
gex nvim -eg
gview nvim -Rg
rvim nvim -Z
rview nvim -RZ
rgvim nvim -gZ
rgview nvim -RgZ
