Problem: `nvim -es` (and `nvim -Es`) is the recommended way to non-interactively run commands/vimscript. But it enables shada by default, which is usually not wanted. Solution: - Disable shada by default for `nvim -es/-Es`. This can be overridden by `-i foo` if needed. - Do NOT change the 'loadplugins' default. - User config + packages _should_ be enabled by default, for both `nvim -es` and `nvim -l`. Else any Lua packages you have can't be accessed without `-u path/to/config`, which is clumsy. - Use-cases: ``` nvim --headless "+Lazy! sync" +qa would become: nvim -es "+Lazy! sync" nvim --headless +PlugInstall +qall would become: nvim -es +PlugInstall ``` - Opt-out (`--clean` or `-u NONE`) is much easier than opt-in (`-u path/to/config`). - User config/packages are analogous to pip packages, which are expected when doing `python -c ...`. related:7c94bcd2d7
