Download Neovim

Neovim is a highly extensible, open-source text editor that builds upon the legendary Vim editor with a modernized architecture and first-class Lua scripting support. It is designed for developers who want the efficiency of Vim’s modal editing model combined with a rich plugin ecosystem and native Language Server Protocol (LSP) integration.

With Neovim, you can configure almost every aspect of your editing experience through Lua scripts, and the community has built thousands of plugins for everything from fuzzy file finding to Git integration, AI coding assistants, and beautiful UI themes. Its asynchronous job execution prevents the editor from freezing during long operations like linting or formatting.

Neovim runs in the terminal or as a GUI application via frontends like Neovide. It is cross-platform, running on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and is popular among developers who prioritize keyboard-driven workflows and fast, lightweight tooling.
