Check out neovim

[rodrigosetti]

Awesome work!

I just opened this issue in a lack of a better place... have you checked neovim?

They are building a refactored version of Vim which makes it easy to use Vim as a library. Maybe it's a good idea to check it out and use that in your project: neovim/neovim#582

They also created a python client to demonstrate the API: https://github.com/neovim/python-client

Cheers!

Thanks!

Neovim looks great, but I'm currently only supporting vim because it's (currently) more stable and in wider use. Also, I believe due to backwards compatability this might already work in neovim.

Once neovim is finished I might look into adding native neovim support.

I do accept patches though, and if anybody is looking to add native neovim support: I have a file vimbed.coffee that handles all vimbed api connections and a file chalcogen.coffee that does the atom-related work. It probably wouldn't be that difficult to add a neovim.coffee that can be interchanged with the vimbed.coffee but talks to neovim instead of vimbed.

Also note that Neovim is currently not under a free or open source license and is currently incompatible with Chalcogen.

It seems like there are plans to change this soon, but until then, I will not be accepting any Neovim compatibility code.

This has been fixed
