Traditionally, when navigating to a specific location from the middle of the jumplist results in shifting the current location to the bottom of the list and adding the new location after it. This behavior is not desireable to all users--see, for example https://vi.stackexchange.com/questions/18344/how-to-change-jumplist-behavior. Here, another jumplist behavior is introduced. When jumpoptions (a new option set added here) includes stack, the jumplist behaves like the tagstack or like history in a web browser. That is, when navigating to a location from the middle of the jumplist 2 first 1 second 0 third <-- current location 1 fourth 2 fifth to a new location the locations after the current location in the jump list are discarded 2 first 1 second 0 third <-- current location The result is that when moving forward from that location, the new location will be appended to the jumplist: 3 first 2 second 1 third 0 new If the new location is the same new == second as some previous (but not immediately prior) entry in the jumplist, 2 first 1 second 0 third <-- current location 1 fourth 2 fifth both occurrences preserved 3 first 2 second 1 third 0 second (new) when moving forward from that location. It would be desireable to go farther and, when the new location is the same as the location that is currently next in the jumplist, new == fourth make the result of navigating to the new location by jumping (e.g. 50gg) be the same as moving forward in the jumplist 2 first 1 second 0 third 1 new <-- current location 2 fifth and simply increment the jumplist index. That change is NOT part of this patch because it would require passing the new cursor location to the function (setpcmark) from all of its callees. That in turn would require those callees to know *before* calling what the new cursor location is, which do they do not currently.

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, 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!
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, Gentoo, and more!
Install from source
The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience.
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
To skip bundled (third-party/*) dependencies:
- Install the dependencies using a package manager.
sudo apt install gperf luajit luarocks libuv1-dev libluajit-5.1-dev libunibilium-dev libmsgpack-dev libtermkey-dev libvterm-dev libutf8proc-dev sudo luarocks build mpack sudo luarocks build lpeg sudo luarocks build inspect - Build with
USE_BUNDLED=OFF:make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo USE_BUNDLED=OFF sudo make install
To inspect the build, these CMake features are useful:
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.
See the Building Neovim wiki page for details.
Transitioning from Vim
See :help nvim-from-vim for instructions.
