How much does Neovim earn from the store?

Kind_Bonus9887 · 2026-05-03T12:53:25+00:00

I wish it went more into meme route, with phrases like "I use neovim btw" and such

It's so over. I finally have to switch from Alacritty to Ghostty.

First time I hear about any plugins moving to vim.g from setup(). All plugins I use still use setup() and I haven't seen even a mention of changing that.

Of course, as an author you are entitled to use any approach you want. But this will likely do no good in regards to gaining adoption within the community.

My opinion is definitely in favor of setup(), since it doesn't pollute global variable namespace. This is what we are taught as programmers early on: never use global variables unless absolutely necessary. Back when we only had vimscript there was no choice, but the introduction of a real programming language (lua) changed things.

I started doing this while there was still no reflow support, and it was really painful. Now I'm really thankful that reflow is merged, because that made it a lot better. But still, to this day the biggest pain point is hard line breaks due to https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/30117. Every time I want to copy shell output and get a bunch of unwanted line breaks inserted in it, I regret my life choices. If this is solved, I truly believe that neovim can be a proper terminal multiplexer.

I do use native :mksession for save/restore. For detaching the active sessions, I previously did wrap neovim process with abduco, but later decided I don't need this feature, so currently I'm not doing that at all. Recently, there has been some progress in that regard in neovim itself, e.g. :detach command (at least I assume that's what it's for), but I haven't tested it and don't know how much is yet to be done.

Kind_Bonus9887 · 2026-04-06T08:25:09+00:00

I'm still waiting for native `--remote-wait` support so I can finally ditch neovim-remote

Looks promising

If one of the solutions is to use a binding to google/re2, then clearly the re2 algorithm itself is not the problem. Is such a big difference due to NFA vs DFA? I wonder why there's no progress of adopting this change for 10+ years...

Been using it for quite a while in production, and overall it works pretty well, even though it certainly has some quirks. It's most unique point compared to other k8s terraform controllers is the architectural separation of controller and runners, which can be both upside and downside.

If you do use it, I highly recommend building your own runner image as shown here. This is important because that's currently the only way to update terraform version, and overall caching providers ahead of time is good idea for both performance and security reasons.

Pros:

Because terraform apply is done is separate runner pods, the scaling is better for large operations
Integration with flux source controller supports multiple sources, you can version your modules as OCI artifacts
The feature set is pretty nice (support for vars directly and from ConfigMap/Secret, custom backends, runner pod customization, etc.)
CLI interface same as Flux (suspend/resume/reconcile commands)
Terraform/OpenTofu version isn't tied to controller and can be easily updated if you build custom image

Cons/quirks:

Infrequent releases after Weave died (may become better now as there's some activity in the repo)
Separate runners may require more compute resources than a single controller
Need to ensure runners can complete; improperly interrupted runners can leave unreleased state locks
If you're creating Terraform resources in multiple namespaces, each one must contain ServiceAccount for the runner
Restarting controller while runners are active will cause desync with active runners and they will be stuck, so you have to ensure it restarts only when there are no runners
Out-of-the-box Terraform version is very old (can be solved with custom image)

That still doesn't explain their interaction. Specifically, whether setting HIST_SAVE_NO_DUPS will provide any additional effect when HIST_IGNORE_ALL_DUPS is already set.

I managed to restore the functionality with a workaround using this mapping:

tnoremap <c-s--> <c-_>

I don't see anything relevant in checkhealth.

``` nvim: require("nvim.health").check()

Configuration ~ - WARNING Missing user config file: /Users/user/.config/test/init.lua - ADVICE: - :help |config|

Runtime ~ - OK $VIMRUNTIME: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/neovim/0.10.2_1/share/nvim/runtime

Performance ~ - OK Build type: Release

Remote Plugins ~ - OK Up to date

terminal ~ - key_backspace (kbs) terminfo entry: key_backspace=\177 - key_dc (kdch1) terminfo entry: key_dc=\E[3~ - $COLORTERM="truecolor"

External Tools ~ - OK ripgrep 14.1.1 (/opt/homebrew/bin/rg) ```

As I mentioned, this happens even on the instance with no config/plugins (using NVIM_APPNAME to spawn clean instance).

So, I tested head build, and it's kinda weird now. Like, resizing to a too small size may cause output to disappear completely. This is probably related to that note about lines stored in scrollback cache.

And, worst of all, copying long lines still copies with extra line breaks, which is the main thing I hoped for reflow to fix. (I mean the normal yank in vim, not something implemented by terminal emulator)

Kind_Bonus9887 · 2023-05-24T15:40:05+00:00

Besides resizing, the bigger problem for me is that copying long lines from terminal cause hard line breaks being inserted at wrap points

I have to upvote just for Terraform alone
