~~Neovim shares most of its configuration with Vim. See the [[Vim|Vim page]] for more details on the use of both.~~

The Home Manager module does not expose many configuration options. Therefore, the easiest way to get started is to use the [https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/options.html#opt-programs.neovim.extraConfig extraConfig] option.

In addition to the official packages, there are several user maintained repositories, such as [https://github.com/m15a/nixpkgs-vim-extra-plugins vim-extra-plugins] or [https://github.com/NixNeovim/NixNeovimPlugins NixNeovimPlugins].

=== ~~With Home Manager~~ ===

=== System-wide ===

The NixOS module does not have an <code>extraConfig</code> option as the Home Manager module does.

Instead, you can use the <code>programs.neovim.configure</code> option as described [https://search.nixos.org/options?show=programs.neovim.configure&type=packages&query=neovim here].

The following example configures RC commands and enables the plugin <code>vim-nix</code> to support syntax highlighting for Nix files

programs.neovim = {

enable = true;

configure = {

customRC = ''

set number

set cc=80

set list

set listchars=tab:→\ ,space:·,nbsp:␣,trail:•,eol:¶,precedes:«,extends:»

if &diff

colorscheme blue

endif

'';

packages.myVimPackage = with pkgs.vimPlugins; {

start = [ vim-nix ];

};

Similarly to the Home Manager module, to set Neovim as your default editor you have to set the <code>EDITOR</code> environment variable like this:
