hyperextensible Vim-based text editor

Features

Extensible

  • API is first-class: discoverable, versioned, documented.
  • MessagePack structured communication enables extensions in any language.
  • Remote plugins run as co-processes, safely and asynchronously.
  • GUIs, IDEs, web browsers can --embed Neovim as an editor or script host.
  • Lua plugins are easy to create just like Vimscript plugins. Your config can live in init.lua!
  • AST-producing parsing engine enables faster, more accurate syntax highlighting, code navigation, refactoring, text objects, and motions.

Usable

  • Strong defaults including a unique, minimalist colorscheme.
  • Builtin LSP client for semantic code inspection and refactoring (go-to definition, "find references", format, …).
  • Client-server architecture allows you to detach the UI and keep the editor session running (like tmux). Attach multiple UIs to any Nvim session.
  • Works the same everywhere: one build-type, one command.
  • Modern terminal features such as cursor styling, focus events, bracketed paste.
  • Builtin :terminal set the standard for "TTY as a basic component".

Drop-in Vim

  • Fully compatible with Vim's editing model and Vimscript v1.
  • Start with :help nvim-from-vim if you already use Vim. If not, try :Tutor.
