Neovim is a project known for its ease of maintenance and community contributions. Moreover, the development effort is well distributed among several developers.
For end users, Neovim is much more extensible than one might expect. Neovim's goal is to provide the best Vim experience without compromising its traditional features.
With the GUI for Neovim, you can get an improved editing experience.
Neovim Features
In more detail you can learn everything about him on his official website and on his page GitHub. Let me highlight some of the features:
- Modern GUIs
- API access from many languages including (C/C++, C#, Go, Haskell, Java/Kotlin, JavaScript/Node.js, Lua, Perl, Python, Ruby, Rust, etc.)
- Built-in terminal emulator with scripting support
- Asynchronous job control
- Sharing data across multiple instances
- Support for XDG Base Catalogs
- Compatible with most Vim plugins, including Ruby and Python plugins
Installing Neo on Ubuntu and Linux
Installing Neovim is easy thanks to its popularity. Because Neovim is available in the official repositories of any distribution you choose.
To install Neovim on Ubuntu, simply click on the Ubuntu Software icon in the dock. Then search for Neovim. You can choose snap or deb version depending on your preference. However, the deb version of the package will be an obsolete version of Neovim.
And if you don't need the snap version, you can grab the latest deb file from the releases page Neo on Github. If you look closely at the releases page, there is also an Appimage.
If you want to use the terminal instead of the GUI, here's what you can do:
For Ubuntu and Debian based distributions, enter the following command to install
sudo apt install neovim
For Manjaro and Arch Linux, use the following command to update the system and install Neovim
sudo pacman -Syu neovim
For Fedora use the following command
sudo dnf install -y neovim
To install Flatpak you can use the following command
flatpak install flathub io.neovim.nvim
Finally, to install the snap package, use the following command
sudo snap install nvim --classic
If you prefer to build software from source, follow the steps on the project's Github page.
How to use Neovim
To use Neovim after installation is complete, simply launch it from the application menu by pressing the super key and typing the name "neovim" without the quotes. This will open a terminal window with Neovim open.
Or you can just open any terminal emulator of your choice and enter the following command
nvim
Yes, not "neovim", but simply "nvim". For example, to edit /etc/fstab, enter the following command.
sudo nvim /etc/fstab
The fstab file will now open as shown in the screenshot below.
Don't worry if you can't exit the editor; press Shift+Z+Z. For example, if this key combination confuses you, use the keys required to type "ZZ" (uppercase) without quotes in any text editor.
At this point, I must reiterate that you need to learn Vim or Neovim and review the documentation in order to effectively use all of its features.
