References
Install
Follow the install guide Installing Neovim.
Default ini files are located at ~/.config/nvim/init.vim. To import Vim settings (FAQ :help nvim-from-vim)
mkdir ~/.config
ln -s ~/.vim ~/.config/nvim
ln -s ~/.vimrc ~/.config/nvim/init.vim
Configure nvim as default vim alternative:
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/vi vi /usr/bin/nvim 60
sudo update-alternatives --config vi
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/vim vim /usr/bin/nvim 60
sudo update-alternatives --config vim
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/editor editor /usr/bin/nvim 60
sudo update-alternatives --config editor
Ruby support
Must install neovim rubygem:
sudo apt install ruby-dev
sudo gem install neovim
Python support
sudo pip install neovim
Plugin manager
We install vim-plug:
curl -fLo ~/.config/nvim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
Plugins
- https://github.com/junegunn/vim-easy-align
- https://github.com/tpope/vim-sensible (on vim.org)
- https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth (on vim.org)
- https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion
- https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree.git
Content of ~/.config/nvim/init.vim:
Reload the init script and install plugins:
:so $MYVIMRC
"... or ':so %' if it is current file
:PlugInstall
To update plugins:
:PlugUpdate
- To test
- vim-airline, vs powerline, vs vim-bufferline
- Color theme solarized.
NeoVim GUI
There is no equivalent to gvim for neovim so far. The best I could do so far is to create a script gnvim that
- uses gnome-terminal as window,
- sets title to NeoVim, and
- sets icon using xseticon.
To install gnvim:
- Build and install xseticon.
- Copy neovim icon to /usr/local/icons/neovim.png. For instance, there is an icon in neovim-qt.git:
git clone https://github.com/equalsraf/neovim-qt.git sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/icons sudo cp neovim-qt//third-party/neovim.png /usr/local/icons
- Add to ~/.vimrc [1]:
if has('nvim')
autocmd VimEnter * execute '!xseticon -name NeoVim /usr/local/icons/neovim.png'
endif
- Create file gnvim, and make it executable:
#! /bin/bash
# Must use $* because $@ does not work here
gnome-terminal --geometry 132x50 -x bash -c "echo -ne '\033]0;NeoVim\007'; exec nvim $*"
Troubleshooting
True color and italic support
There are lot of discussion about true color and italic support in the terminal. Below the list of relevant posts.
- morhetz/gruvbox wiki -- Terminal specific
- neovim/neovim -- FAQ
- XVilka/TrueColour.md -- Colours in terminal
- How to enable true-color for neovim, tmux, and gnome-terminal
- neovim/neovim -- Italics aren't displaying properly #3461
- neovim/neovim -- Get funny chars on terminal #3462
All in all the solution for me involved to at least:
- Upgrade to Ubuntu Xenial 16.04, to get newest Gnome Terminal and Terminator/gtk3 on recent VTE.
- Upgrade to tmux 2.2 (only if using tmux).
- Do a total reset of the account configuration.
- Fiddle a bit with the terminfo (still not sure what was the exact recipe though).
- Use gruvbox as theme (not solarized, which does not work in terminal).
To test, first verify that the color theme works correctly in gvim.
To Do
- True color
- Gui
- Color scheme
- Solarized
- gruvbox
- Linters
- neomake
- syntactics
