Write Neovim Plugins
The plugin repo has some examples in the tests directory
Control an existing nvim instance⚑
A number of different transports are supported, but the simplest way to get started is with the python REPL. First, start Nvim with a known address (or use the $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS
of a running instance):
$ NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS=/tmp/nvim nvim
In another terminal, connect a python REPL to Nvim (note that the API is similar to the one exposed by the python-vim bridge:
>>> from neovim import attach
# Create a python API session attached to unix domain socket created above:
>>> nvim = attach('socket', path='/tmp/nvim')
# Now do some work.
>>> buffer = nvim.current.buffer # Get the current buffer
>>> buffer[0] = 'replace first line'
>>> buffer[:] = ['replace whole buffer']
>>> nvim.command('vsplit')
>>> nvim.windows[1].width = 10
>>> nvim.vars['global_var'] = [1, 2, 3]
>>> nvim.eval('g:global_var')
[1, 2, 3]
Load buffer⚑
buffer = nvim.current.buffer # Get the current buffer
buffer[0] = 'replace first line'
buffer[:] = ['replace whole buffer']
Get cursor position⚑
nvim.current.window.cursor
