I am using vim-plug - A minimalist Vim plugin manager. Check on the link for installation.

This repo should be put in ~/.config directory (for both Windows and Linux)

Windows specific

• Download latest NeoVim and put it in root of C drive (like this C:\Neovim\bin)

• On Windows run this command to link nvim configuration to a folder where it is expected on

  Windows (with Git Bash): ln -s $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim ~/AppData/Local/nvim

  If this doesn’t work try running cmd as admin and run: mklink /D %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\nvim %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\.config\nvim

• Install vim-plug with PowerShell:

  iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim |`
      ni "$(@($env:XDG_DATA_HOME, $env:LOCALAPPDATA)[$null -eq $env:XDG_DATA_HOME])/nvim-data/site/autoload/plug.vim" -Force

• Now run C:\Neovim\bin\nvim-qt.exe. If window goes black, just wait, it is installing…​

Use Neovim as Git Bash editor

• Add nvim to path - open cmd as administrator and execute: setx /M path "%path%;C:\Neovim\bin\\"

• Set nvim as git editor - open Git Bash and execute: git config --global core.editor nvim-qt

VSCode / VSCodium

• VSCodium repo

To make VSCodium behave like Neovim I copied stuff from this repo. In this video author of repo explains his setup. Also check his blog post.

1. You need to change init.vim to point to your vscode/settings.vim from this repository.

   So you need to change this line source C:\.config\nvim\vscode\settings.vim.

   • init.vim location:

     • Windows: ~\AppData\Local\nvim\init.vim or C:\.config\nvim\init.vim.

     • Linux: ~/.config/nvim/init.vim.

2. Also so you need to change this two files in your VSCode/VSCodium:

   • keybindings.json: press CTRL+SHIFT+P and type Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON) and paste keybindings

   • settings.json: press CTRL+SHIFT+P and type Open Settings (JSON) and paste settings.

     In this file you need to change:

     • neovimExecutablePaths: path to your neovim executable

     • neovimInitVimPaths: init.vim config

In order to properly function you must to install this extensions:

• Neo Vim

• Which Key

• vscode-viml-syntax (this is not necessary but helps with editing .vim files)
