I have been using NeoVim for half a year and have not looked back. It is backward compatible (completes Vim test suite successfully) and brings some other goodies, such as async jobs (I know Vim 8.0 has these but they have been in NeoVim since I switched) and a great terminal emulator. It has much better defaults that I did not know about when I was using Vim. Honestly - give both a try - installing NeoVim, all you have to import your settings is to symlink your .vimrc to .nvimrc, as far as I remember
- d33 10y agoThanks, I didn't about the terminal emulator! Now that I launched it via vsplit and :set modifiable - how can I switch back to the second buffer?
- fmoralesc 10y ago<C-\><C-n> leaves you in normal mode again, and then you can navigate as usual.
- brotherjerky 10y agoNote that you can bind something like `jj` to this command in the terminal in order to more easily get out of terminal insert mode. Use `tnoremap`
- usernamefornow 10y agoUse <C-\><C-n> to get back into normal mode so you can use <C-w>w and and friends. Or you can use your mouse since Neovim by default does 'set mouse=a' iirc.
- tremendo 10y agoyou can use terminal-bufffer settings too: :tnoremap <Esc> <C-\><C-n> :tnoremap <A-h> <C-\><C-n><C-w>h :tnoremap <A-j> <C-\><C-n><C-w>j :tnoremap <A-k> <C-\><C-n><C-w>k :tnoremap <A-l> <C-\><C-n><C-w>l
