* Match command names introduced in v.5.0.0 (August 2024):
"auth", "multiinput", "status", "truecolor".
* Match command names introduced in v.4.5.0 (January 2017):
"defdynamictitle" and "dynamictitle".
* Deprecate command names that have been retired thus far:
"debug", "maxwin", "nethack", "password", "time".
* Remove a spurious "defzombie" command name (this name is
just lamented over in the documentation entry for the
"zombie" command as being more fitting than "zombie"
because its effects are not local to a window; no such
name is entered in "comm.c").
* Separately group the Braille navigation commands, "bd_*",
that may belong to another, superset program Dotscreen:
(see doc/README.DOTSCREEN and commit 848af83f5 elsewhere).
* Revise string escape characters:
- Recognise more characters, "%[`<>=eEfFHOPSxX]".
- Recognise undocumented characters, "%[gNpT]", and list
relevant Screen commits in the comments.
- Match optional qualifiers, "%\%([-+L]\|\d\+\).".
* Match more items in double-quoted command arguments.
* Match unquoted environment variable references.
* Match octal numbers, e.g. "defmode 0622".
* Match escaped octal numbers, e.g. "bind \077 help".
Unless a Dotscreen program (c. 1995) or an older than
v.4.3.1 (c. 2015) Screen program, that was compiled with
"HAVE_BRAILLE" defined, is installed and needs configuring,
add to ".vim/after/syntax/screen.vim":
-----------------------------------------------------------
if hlexists('dotscreenCommands')
syn clear dotscreenCommands
endif
-----------------------------------------------------------
To BACKPORT the updated syntax file to version 4 of Screen,
add to ".vim/after/syntax/screen.vim":
-----------------------------------------------------------
if hlexists('screenDeprecatedCommands')
syn clear screenDeprecatedCommands
endif
if hlexists('screenVersion5Commands')
syn clear screenVersion5Commands
endif
-----------------------------------------------------------

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 advanced UIs without modifications to the core
- Maximize extensibility
See the Introduction wiki page and Roadmap for more information.

- Embedded, scriptable terminal emulator
- Asynchronous job control
- Shared data (shada) among multiple editor instances

Install from package
Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the Releases page.
Managed packages are in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Void Linux, Gentoo, and more!
Install from source
See BUILD.md and supported platforms for details.
The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience. After installing the dependencies, run the following command.
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
CMake hints for inspecting the build:
cmake --build build --target helplists all build targets.build/CMakeCache.txt(orcmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.build/compile_commands.jsonshows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
Transitioning from Vim
See :help nvim-from-vim for instructions.
