Features

Powerful

The Nvim msgpack API enables structured communication to and from any programming language. Remote plugins run as co-processes that communicate with Neovim safely and asynchronously.

Usable

  • Strong defaults
  • Modern terminal features such as cursor styling, focus events, bracketed paste
  • Built-in terminal emulator

Embeddable

GUIs and other applications can nvim --embed to discover the msgpack API dynamically.

Drop-in Vim

Neovim is an extension of Vim: feature-parity and backwards-compatibility are high priorities. If you already use Vim, see :help nvim-from-vim.
