Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability
0c59771e31
This is the first installment of a multi-PR series significantly refactoring how highlights are being specified. The end goal is to have a base set of 20 ish most common highlights, and then specific files only need to add more groups to that as needed. As a complicating factor, we also want to migrate to the new default color scheme eventually. But by sharing a base set, that future PR will hopefully be a lot smaller since a lot of tests will be migrated just simply by updating the base set in place. As a first step, fix the anti-pattern than Screen defaults to ignoring highlights. Highlights are integral part of the screen state, not something "extra" which we only test "sometimes". For now, we still allow opt-out via the intentionally ugly screen._default_attr_ids = nil The end goal is to get rid of all of these eventually (which will be easier as part of the color scheme migration) |

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.
