> maybe I should change over but then I potentially have to maintain two sets of plugins, one for nvim and one for vim I use this in my ~/.config/nvim/init.vim: set runtimepath^=~/.vim runtimepath+=~/.vim/after let &packpath = &runtimepath source ~/.vimrc That lets me directly use vim config from neovim. Then I set up an alias in my zsh profile: alias vim=nvim All of my plugins thus far have worked without a hitch (and I have a lot of configuration/plugins). If I ever run into problems, I can bail out by removing the alias (or for a one-off editing session, I can just run: $ command vim). You might give something like that a go.
