Neovim

Neovim is an open-source, hyperextensible text editor based on Vim, designed to preserve Vim’s editing model while enabling new tools and integrations. It remains compatible with Vimscript and Vim 8.x plugins, while also offering built-in Lua support for creating plugins and configuring the editor. Its documented, versioned API and remote procedure call capabilities allow extensions in different programming languages, and let graphical interfaces, IDEs, and web browsers use Neovim as an editor or scripting host.

Features include Tree-sitter parsing for syntax highlighting and text objects, Language Server Protocol support for code inspection and refactoring, multicursor editing, and a built-in terminal. Neovim also provides modern terminal features and options for connecting, detaching, and restarting sessions. Users can install plugins, customize their configuration, or choose from community-developed interfaces such as Neovide, Goneovim, and vscode-neovim. The project offers documentation, a tutorial, release updates, and community channels for discussion and support. Developers can contribute code, report bugs, request features, or sponsor the project, with sponsorship funds directed to developers.
