Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability

Previously, there were three low-level delay entry points - os_delay(ms, ignoreinput=true): sleep for ms, only break on got_int - os_delay(ms, ignoreinput=false): sleep for ms, break on any key input os_microdelay(us, false): equivalent, but in μs (not directly called) - os_microdelay(us, true): sleep for μs, never break. The implementation of the latter two both used uv_cond_timedwait() This could have been for two reasons: 1. allow another thread to "interrupt" the wait 2. uv_cond_timedwait() has higher resolution than uv_sleep() However we (1) never used the first, even when TUI was a thread, and (2) nowhere in the codebase are we using μs resolution, it is always a ms multiplied with 1000. In addition, os_delay(ms, false) would completely block the thread for 100ms intervals and in between check for input. This is not how event handling is done alound here. Therefore: Replace the implementation of os_delay(ms, false) to use LOOP_PROCESS_EVENTS_UNTIL which does a proper epoll wait with a timeout, instead of the 100ms timer panic. Replace os_microdelay(us, false) with a direct wrapper of uv_sleep. |

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.
Features
- Modern GUIs
- API access from any language including C/C++, C#, Clojure, D, Elixir, Go, Haskell, Java/Kotlin, JavaScript/Node.js, Julia, Lisp, Lua, Perl, Python, Racket, Ruby, Rust
- Embedded, scriptable terminal emulator
- Asynchronous job control
- Shared data (shada) among multiple editor instances
- XDG base directories support
- Compatible with most Vim plugins, including Ruby and Python plugins
See :help nvim-features for the full list, and :help news for noteworthy changes in the latest version!
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 the Building Neovim wiki page 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.
