Neovim

Neovim is a modal text editor forked off of Vim in 2014. Being modal means that you do not simply type text on screen, but the behavior and functionality of the editor changes entirely depending on the mode.

The most common and most used mode, the "normal mode" for Neovim is to essentially turn your keyboard in to hotkeys with which you can navigate and manipulate text. Several modes exist, but two other most common ones are "insert mode" where you type in text directly as if it was a traditional text editor, and "visual mode" where you select text.

Neovim seeks to enable further community participation in its development and to make drastic changes without turning it in to something that is "not Vim". Neovim also seeks to enable embedding the editor within GUI applications.

It's LSP portable? (self.neovim)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by dafunkkk to c/[email protected]
 

It's possible to install lsp for a language and then export all .local and .config neovim folder to use it as portable install in another closed env?

LSP maybe portable with it's config if the LSP themselves are independent. Checkout Mason which seems to make it easier to bundle neovim and "portable" LSP. There was another project similar to Mason with some more features, but I forgot it's name. So search around to see if that fits your requirements.
