Command Line Helper
First, make sure Nvmm.app is in your /Applications folder.
The app bundle contains nvim 0.12+ and nvmm, a helper that opens files in a running Nvmm or launches it if needed.
To use them easily, put their folder in your PATH. For example, if you are using zsh, put this in your .zprofile:
export PATH="/Applications/Nvmm.app/Contents/bin:$PATH"
Alternatively, you can symlink one or both:
ln -s /Applications/Nvmm.app/Contents/bin/nvmm ~/.local/bin/nvmm
ln -s /Applications/Nvmm.app/Contents/bin/nvim ~/.local/bin/nvim
Example nvmm usage
nvmm # launch or activate Nvmm
nvmm a.txt # open file
nvmm -p a.txt b.txt # one tab per file
nvmm +42 a.txt # put cursor at line 42
nvmm --wait a.txt # open file and wait until its window is closed
nvmm --help # show all supported options
Tip: Using Nvmm with Git
To use Nvmm with Git, set core.editor to nvmm with -f or --wait.
git config --global core.editor "nvmm --wait"
- Nvmm is pictured above with vim-buftabline, a very nice plugin that makes the Vim tabline make sense. It works well with Nvmm’s option to prefer buffers over tabs.
