Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:
- Simplify maintenance and encourage [contributions](CONTRIBUTING.md)
- Split the work between multiple developers
- Enable advanced [external UIs] without modifications to the core
- Improve extensibility with a new [plugin architecture](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Plugin-UI-architecture)
For more details, see
[the wiki](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Introduction)!

Vim is Charityware. You can use and copy it as much as you like, but you are

You can also sponsor the development of Vim. Vim sponsors can vote for
features. The money goes to Uganda anyway.
