In Vim's main_loop function, the main loop is
while (!cmdwin
#ifdef FEAT_CMDWIN
|| cmdwin_result == 0
#endif
)
{
...
#ifdef FEAT_EVAL
/*
* May perform garbage collection when waiting for a character, but
* only at the very toplevel. Otherwise we may be using a List or
* Dict internally somewhere.
* "may_garbage_collect" is reset in vgetc() which is invoked through
* do_exmode() and normal_cmd().
*/
may_garbage_collect = (!cmdwin && !noexmode);
#endif
/*
* If we're invoked as ex, do a round of ex commands.
* Otherwise, get and execute a normal mode command.
*/
if (exmode_active)
{
if (noexmode) /* End of ":global/path/visual" commands */
return;
do_exmode(exmode_active == EXMODE_VIM);
}
else
normal_cmd(&oa, TRUE);
}
cmdwin_result is set to 0 before calling main_loop to handle the cmdwin
window and gets changed when the user causes a command to execute
(either through pressing <CR> or <C-c>). This means that when the
cmdwin isn't active OR the user is still editing their command,
main_loop runs and main_loop calls normal_cmd with toplevel true as long
as exmode isn't active.
When the normal mode state was extracted in dae006a9, the conditions for
toplevel and may_garbage_collect were combined. Since toplevel was set
to always ignore cmdwin, the v:count(1) variables were no longer being
updated when a command was prefixed with a count in the cmdwin.
Closes #5404

Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:
- Simplify maintenance and encourage contributions
- Split the work between multiple developers
- Enable the implementation of new/modern UIs without modifications to the core
- Improve extensibility with a new plugin architecture
For more details, see the wiki!
What's been done so far
- RPC API based on MessagePack
- Embedded terminal emulator
- Asynchronous job control
- Shared data (shada) among multiple editor instances
- XDG base directories support
- libuv-based platform/OS/"mch" layer
- Pushdown automaton input model
- 1000s of new tests
- Legacy tests converted to Lua tests
See :help nvim-features for a comprehensive list.
What's being worked on now
See the Roadmap.
How do I get it?
There is a formula for OSX/homebrew, a PKGBUILD for Arch Linux, RPM, deb, and more. See the wiki!
