The recommended Neovim in this issue is a refactoring in Vim tradition, sometimes an editor (which itself originates from Stevie)</ em>
It is not a rewrite, but a continuation and extension of Vim. There are many clones and derivative products, some of which are very clever – but none of them are Vim. Neovim is built for users who want the best parts of Vim</ p>
Objective
- Enable new contributors and eliminate entry barriers</ li>
- Unblock plugin author</ li>
- Provides top-notch Lua/LuaJIT scripts to replace Vimscript</ li>
- For all platforms supported by libuv</ li>
- Utilize ongoing Vim development</ li>
- Out of the box optimization, suitable for new users, especially regular users</ li>
Provide a consistent cross platform experience</ li>
In terms of taste/ambiguity, there is a preference for tradition/compatibility</ li>
But if the benefits are extreme, then usability is preferred</ li>

If set speak does not work, please create a C:/Users/foo/AppData/Local/nvim/site/cell folder</ li>
For Python plugins, you need the pynvim module. Recommend using a ‘virtual environment’. After activating the virtual environment, pip install pynvim (in both options). Edit your init-vim to include the path of the Python executable file containing env:
let g:python3_host_prog='C:/Users/foo/Envs/neovim3/Scripts/python.exe'
let g:python_host_prog='C:/Users/foo/Envs/neovim/Scripts/python.exe'
- Run: checkhealth and read: help provider python</ li>
- init.vim (“vimrc”):If you have already installed Vim, you can copy% userprofile% \ -vimrc to% userprofile% \ AppSata \ Local \ mvim \ init.vim to use your Vim configuration with Neovim</ li>
