[SOLVED]vim and neovim

b42 · 2023-10-14 14:58:55

I have been using vim and I just installed neovim. I have found that neovim uses the same .vimrc file for its configuration, if so, why do I get completely different colors for the same file on vim and neovim?

vim and nvim don't use the same configuration (compare /usr/share/vim vs. /usr/share/nvim)

vim by default just uses your terminal color scheme (so colors depend on your terminal configuration), and nvim by default sets rgb colors directly (if terminal supports it)

thus nvim ignores your terminal color scheme

where can I find neovim config file like .vimrc?

that is the thing I even dir nvim does not exist under ~/.config/ on my system

I know how to make a directory.

Does it mean if I create ~/.config/nvim nvim config file will pop up automatically ?

Automagically filled with what content?
It's a config file. The purpose is to configure the application. The entity doing that configuration would be you?

So my question is, if ~/.config/nvim does not exist, where does nvim pull its configuration from?

That's exactly described in the link I posted in #4. Read!

okay, sorry I found it.

what do I put in init.vim to have my cursor where I left it before I closed the file?

https://www.google.com/search?q=vim%20r … 20position and what does that have to do w/ neovim or anything in this thread?
