Neovim does not populate text box on :wq
Nvim does not populate the selected text box when exited with :wq
<Ctrl-Alt-I>
brings up nvim as expected. Nvim continues to run headless when the pop-in is not visible, as verified by Task Manager.
;v
also opens the nvim editor tab correctly
Hitting <CR>
in insert mode on a one-line box will populate the text box.
Entering :w
(without q
) will populate the text box.
Contrarily, when using the built-in vim, :wq
populates the text box and closes the editor, while :w
leaves the vim pop-in open.
It's certainly usable, and I'm quite happy it works at all, but it is inconsistent with the built-in vim, so I'm reporting it.
The only major problem is that if you forget and use :wq
, you can lose the text you entered, since the nvim buffer will be reset/repopulated with what's in the text box when recalled. This is a more general issue, however, since swapping to another tab to copy some text causes the nvim pop-in to close without writing out to the text box (sometimes -- this is inconsistent). Luckily, it does maintain the undo tree, so you can usually recover most of your text with u
after re-calling nvim.
