Tips

Installation on Windows

At first, you need to install Visual C++ 2015 runtime from official if you didn't yet. Neovim requires it to run. Following Neovim official instruction, download Neovim.zip from AppVeyor build result, unzip it, and add bin directory to $PATH. After installation, please be sure that nvim command works correctly from PowerShell or CMD.exe. Now you can install NyaoVim with npm. Please read 'Getting Started' subsection in README. Currently zip-archived app is not released yet because NyaoVim is being developed yet.

Check Running on NyaoVim from Vim script

Before loading .config/nvim/init.vim, g:nyaovim_version is set to NyaoVim's version string. You can check if the Vim script code is being executed on NyaoVim or not (in init.vim or plugin code).

if exists('g:nyaovim_version')
    " Write NyaoVim specific code here
    " ...
endif

g:nyaovim_version is a string which represents the version of NyaoVim (e.g. "0.0.14"). You can also use it to check the version of NyaoVim.

Single Instance Application

NyaoVim can become 'Single Instance Application'. Only one NyaoVim app instance can exist in desktop. If nyaovim command is secondly executed, it focuses on NyaoVim window which already exists, opens files specified with arguments in it, and simply quits.

$ nyaovim foo.c bar.c # Open NyaoVim firstly with foo.c and bar.c
$ cd ~/blah
$ nyaovim aaa.js bbb.js # Focus window which already exists, open aaa.js and bbb.js in it

You can make NyaoVim 'Single Instance Application' with browser-config.json. Please read the document

Drag and Drop Files

If you drag and drop a file to NyaoVim window, NyaoVim will start to edit the file with :edit!.

'Recent Files' on OS X

When you start NyaoVim, NyaoVim's application icon will appear in your OS X dock. As other general OS X applications, 'Recent Files' item is available in dock menu. (Please right click on an icon in dock.) When NyaoVim starts to edito some files (e.g. :edit some-file), NyaoVim registers them as 'recent file' and enables quick access with 'Recent Files' item.

'Current File' in title bar on OS X

When a file icon is shown just left of title in title bar, you can select a file to edit via the icon. Please try clicking the icon with command key (Cmd + LeftClick) then you will see the pull-down menu to select a directory. After selecting directory, you can select a file in the directory to start editing.

Don't detach the process

NyaoVim's process is detached by default when launched from command line. If you don't want to detach the editor process, please consider to use --no-detach option of nyaovim command. If you always want to use it. alias nyaovim='nyaovim --no-detach' in bashrc or zshrc may help you.

Load JavaScript

If you want to load some JavaScript code, you can use <script> tag in nyaovimrc.html. Put your favorite-named JavaScript code in nyaovim configuration directory at first. Then load it as below.

<dom-module id="nyaovim-app">
    <!-- snip -->
</dom-module>
<script src="your-config.js"></script>

It ensures that the script is loaded after loading <dom-module>.
