Welcome

Before we start, it would be a crime not to mention Neovim Neovim is a fork of the original Vim codebase that has done a lot of really great work modernizing and improving the tool with a bunch of great stuff like:

• Great API docs and improvements
• Remote plugins run as co-processes, safely and asynchronously
• GUIs, IDEs and web browsers can --embed Neovim as an editor or script host
• Strong defaults
• Modern terminal features such as cursor styles and focus events
• Fully compatible with Vim's editing model and the Vimscript language.
