Macvim vs neovim how to#
We figure out how to use plugin managers that aren't written in lua, and saw a few alternatives that are written in lua. We got to know the methods we have available to create our keymaps, and we know their limitations. We have the tools to activate, deactivate and modify all sorts of options and variables in neovim. We now know how to use vimscript from lua. We learned how to use lua from vimscript. It offers more features than paq but not as much a packer, so if you are looking for a middle ground between those two, this might be a good choice. This one is not written in lua but I want to add it because it does offer a lua api. And does other things I don't understand, but the point is that is a feature complete plugin manager. It has the basic features you would expect, it offers lazy-loading capabilities, has support for luarocks (which is like a package manager for lua), it can handle "local plugins". If you want more features packer is the alternative. If you don't need anything else, look no further, this is the plugin manager you want.
Macvim vs neovim update#
It was created to download, update and remove plugins. I'm serious, this thing has less than 300 lines of code. It appears that right now these are your options:Ī plugin manager that is simple and fast. You might want a plugin manager that is written in lua, just because. Each one has a different way to create keybindings. cmd ' source ~/.config/nvim/keymap.vim 'įor those of you who are actually trying to run away from vimscript I could recommend some plugins: Leave them in a script and call it from lua. If this api is not good enough for you, consider not migrating your keybindings.
Macvim vs neovim code#
If you're asking why I return t'', is because we don't need the string we need the code that represents ctrl+n, same thing with. It's not strictly necessary but I'm using it to make it clear that I'm creating a global function on purpose. In lua _G is the global table that holds all the global variables. nvim_replace_termcodes ( str, true, true, true ) When the autocomplete menu is visible I want to navigate throught the list of results, otherwise it'll act like a regular. To show you how this would work I'll try to make a smart key. We would need the variable v:lua, with this variable we can call lua functions that exists in the global scope. Now, things change a little bit if we need an expression. " lua require('usermod').somefunction() ", nvim_set_keymap (' n ', ' w ', ' :write ', Let's do the "hello world" to test that everything works as expected. So we can migrate our config piece by piece and only change from init.vim to a when we are ready. The first thing you need to know is that we can embed lua code directly in init.vim. Everything that I will show should work on every system in which neovim can be installed, just keep in mind that the path to the init.vim file might be different in your case. I will assume your operating system is linux (or something close to it) and that your configuration is located at ~/.config/nvim/init.vim. What I want to do is teach you enough about lua and the neovim api so you can migrate your own configuration. Also, this won't be a tutorial on "how to turn neovim into an IDE", I'll avoid anything that is language specific. I will be showing a lot of examples but I will not tell you what options you should set with what value.
I'm going to talk about the things we can do with lua and its interaction with vimscript. So today I'm going to share with you everything I learned while I was migrating my own configuration from vimscript to lua. Among the new exciting features we have better lua support and the promise of a stable api to create our configuration using this language.
Details are provided in the report linked below: 'If you haven’t patched Vim or NeoVim text editors, you really, really should Sandbox escape in the ancient text editors lets attackers get a reverse shell. Be sure you keep MacVim up-to-date with the latest version.
If you care, personally I like Vim better.Everything you need to know to configure neovim using lua Īfter a long time in development neovim 0.5 was finally released as a stable version. A security flaw has been found in the source version of Vim. You should give a try, not "should switch" by any means. I am wondering if I should switch to neovim That may be of interest to some users, but surely not to everyone. But, at least, they both have it now.Īlso, say, Neovim has tight integration with Lua and always has Lua engine built-in. And "init.vim" is still the same VimScript, even if it has another name and is located in another directory.Īlso, Vim and Neovim have different implementation of :terminal. But a typical user would not care if "shada" format differs from "viminfo". Say, Neovim has "init.vim" and "shada" instead of "vimrc" and "viminfo" respectively. At least, from an average end-user point of view. There are many small differences, but, I dare say, nothing is substantial. I would like to know what the major differences It still shares much (and I mean really much!) of source code and documentation with Vim. Or, at least, no one knows if it's true or not. I have heard that it is the future of vim.
