Neovim

Neovim is an open source text editor based on Vim. It keeps Vim's editing model and adds a modern core, Lua configuration and built-in language server support.

Neovim is a terminal-first editor for people who already know Vim or want a similar modal workflow. It works the same way across operating systems, and you configure everything in an init.lua file. Tree-sitter provides syntax highlighting and text objects. The built-in LSP client handles completion, navigation and refactoring when a language server is installed.

• Vim-compatible editing and key commands
• Lua configuration in init.lua
• Tree-sitter syntax highlighting and text objects
• LSP for completion and go-to-definition
• Detach from and reconnect to running sessions

Developers who work in the terminal, Vim users who want a modern base, and plugin authors who want a documented API and an RPC interface for building graphical front ends.

Neovim is free and open source. The source is on GitHub, where you can build it yourself or install a release. Plugins are added through your config, so the editor can grow as much or as little as you need. If you are new to Vim-style editing, the built-in tutorial is a good place to start.
