The point is moot, since you can use your vim config as is, with nvim. I did exactly that, so the only change needed was to actually alias 'vim' to 'nvim' in my bash_profile.
So I guess this post complaints about the way the author chose to configure nvim.
- laktak 2y agoneovim does not support running external programs that have an UI with `!` So, no.
- ablob 2y agoI am confused. I tried it with glxgears and it appears to work. It even prints its output (and reading it into the buffer works as well). So what do you mean when you say that it does not support running external programs with a UI?
- laktak 2y agoI meant a text UI, something like lf or ranger that displays a TUI. The nvim terminal does not work 100% for that use case. In vim I can just run lf to select a file and then return to vim.
- kbrkbr 2y agoHow come I can run !evince filename.pdf when editing latex files in nvim after compiling? And, but that does not defeat your point, :term shoots up a terminal in both under Linux.
- lawn 2y agoYes it does, just not interactively.
- bastardoperator 2y agoSpot on, this just sounds like complaining for the sake of complaining. Use vim if that's your preference. I used vim for over a decade, and switching to nvim was a breath of fresh air.
