Vim - the ubiquitous text editor

Among its features are:

Support for the XDG Base Directory Specification
[2024-04-18]
Patch 9.1.327 brings support for the freedesktop XDG Base Directory Specification and has now been merged. A few more adjustments have been made withe following patches: v9.1.0337 and 9.1.345.
That means, you can now place your configuration files under ~/.config/vim/ instead of ~/.vim so Vim will stop littering your home directory.
Note: To make this change backwards compatible, Vim will only attempt to source from that location, if ~/.vim/vimrc and ~/.vimrc file do not exist. So it won't impact existing users, but users that want to start using the new location, will need to move their existing configuration to the new place.
You can also read about it at :h xdg-base-dir.
Thanks to all the contributors that help Vim continuing to grow! (Christian Brabandt)

WG Rainbow Delimiter Highlighter : highlights nested delimiters with different colors to aid readability |
|
(v5) The rainbow syntax highlighter now also supports "parallel editing" much better, by which I mean that if you have Vim (with `rainbow.vim` installed and active) and some other text editor open simultaneously (both of them editing the same file) then every time that you change window focus back to Vim then when it auto-reloads the file (at your request) then the rainbow delimiter syntax highlighting... - |
