Command Line Helper

First, make sure Nvmm.app is in your /Applications folder.

The app bundle contains nvim 0.12+ and nvmm, a helper that opens files in a running Nvmm or launches it if needed.

To use them easily, put their folder in your PATH. For example, if you are using zsh, put this in your .zprofile:

export PATH="/Applications/Nvmm.app/Contents/bin:$PATH"

Alternatively, you can symlink one or both:

ln -s /Applications/Nvmm.app/Contents/bin/nvmm ~/.local/bin/nvmm
ln -s /Applications/Nvmm.app/Contents/bin/nvim ~/.local/bin/nvim

Example nvmm usage

nvmm                 # launch or activate Nvmm
nvmm a.txt           # open file
nvmm -p a.txt b.txt  # one tab per file
nvmm +42 a.txt       # put cursor at line 42
nvmm --wait a.txt    # open file and wait until its window is closed

Supported options are shown by nvmm --help.

• Nvmm is pictured above with vim-buftabline, a very nice plugin that makes the Vim tabline make sense. It works well with Nvmm’s option to prefer buffers over tabs.
