This package provides an executable called nvr which solves these cases:
- Controlling nvim processes from the shell. E.g. opening files in another
terminal window. - Opening files from within
:terminalwithout starting a nested nvim process.
Installation
pip3 install neovim-remote
If you encounter any issues, e.g. permission denied errors or you can't find thenvr executable, read INSTALLATION.md.
Theory
Nvim always starts a server. Get its address via :echo $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS or:echo v:servername. Or specify an address at startup:NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS=/tmp/nvimsocket nvim.
nvr will use $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS or any address given to it via--servername.
If the targeted address does not exist, nvr starts a new process by running
"nvim". You can change the command by setting $NVR_CMD. _(This requires
forking, so it won't work on Windows.)_
First steps
Start a nvim process (which acts as a server) in one shell:
NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS=/tmp/nvimsocket nvim
And do this in another shell:
# nvr uses /tmp/nvimsocket by default, so we're good.
# Open two files:
nvr --remote file1 file2
# Send keys to the current buffer:
nvr --remote-send 'iabc<esc>'
# Enter insert mode, insert 'abc', and go back to normal mode again.
# Evaluate any VimL expression, e.g. get the current buffer:
nvr --remote-expr 'bufname("")'

$ nvr -h
usage: nvr [arguments]
Remote control Neovim processes.
If no process is found, a new one will be started.
$ nvr --remote-send 'iabc<cr><esc>'
$ nvr --remote-expr 'map([1,2,3], "v:val + 1")'
Any arguments not consumed by options will be fed to --remote-silent:
$ nvr --remote-silent file1 file2
$ nvr file1 file2
All --remote options take optional commands.
Exception: --remote-expr, --remote-send.
$ nvr +10 file
$ nvr +'echomsg "foo" | echomsg "bar"' file
$ nvr --remote-tab-wait +'set bufhidden=delete' file
Open files in a new window from a terminal buffer:
$ nvr -cc split file1 file2
Use nvr from git to edit commit messages:
$ git config --global core.editor 'nvr --remote-wait-silent'
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--remote [<file> [<file> ...]]
Use :edit to open files. If no process is found, throw
an error and start a new one.
--remote-wait [<file> [<file> ...]]
Like --remote, but block until all buffers opened by
this option get deleted or the process exits.
--remote-silent [<file> [<file> ...]]
Like --remote, but throw no error if no process is
found.
--remote-wait-silent [<file> [<file> ...]]
Combines --remote-wait and --remote-silent.
--remote-tab [<file> [<file> ...]]
Like --remote, but use :tabedit.
--remote-tab-wait [<file> [<file> ...]]
Like --remote-wait, but use :tabedit.
--remote-tab-silent [<file> [<file> ...]]
Like --remote-silent, but use :tabedit.
--remote-tab-wait-silent [<file> [<file> ...]]
Like --remote-wait-silent, but use :tabedit.
--remote-send <keys> Send key presses.
--remote-expr <expr> Evaluate expression and print result in shell.
--servername <addr> Set the address to be used. This overrides the default
"/tmp/nvimsocket" and $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS.
--serverlist Print the TCPv4 and Unix domain socket addresses of
all nvim processes.
-cc <cmd> Execute a command before every other option.
-c <cmd> Execute a command after every other option.
-d Diff mode. Use :diffthis on all to be opened buffers.
-l Change to previous window via ":wincmd p".
-o <file> [<file> ...]
Open files via ":split".
-O <file> [<file> ...]
Open files via ":vsplit".
-p <file> [<file> ...]
Open files via ":tabedit".
-q <errorfile> Read errorfile into quickfix list and display first
error.
-s Silence "no server found" message.
-t <tag> Jump to file and position of given tag.
--nostart If no process is found, do not start a new one.
--version Show the nvr version.

Typical use cases
- Open files from within
:terminalwithout starting a nested nvim process.Easy-peasy! Just
nvr file.This works without any prior setup, because
$NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESSis always
set within Nvim. Andnvrwill default to that address.I often work with two windows next to each other. If one contains the
terminal, I can usenvr -l footo open the file in the other window. - Open files always in the same nvim process no matter which terminal you're in.
If you just run
nvr -s, a new nvim process will start and set its address
to/tmp/nvimsocketautomatically.Now, no matter in which terminal you are,
nvr filewill always work on
that nvim process. That is akin toemacsclientfrom Emacs. - Use nvr in plugins.
Some plugins rely on the
--remotefamily of options from Vim. Nvim had to
remove those when they switched to outsource a lot of manual code to libuv.
These options are planned to be added back, though.In these cases nvr can be used as a drop-in replacement. E.g.
vimtex can be configured to use nvr to
jump to a certain file and line: read. Use nvr as git editor.
Imagine Neovim is set as your default editor via
$VISUALor$EDITOR.Running
git commitin a regular shell starts a nvim process. But in a
terminal buffer (:terminal), a new nvim process starts as well. Now you
have one nvim nested within another.If you do not want this, put this in your vimrc:
if has('nvim') let $GIT_EDITOR = 'nvr -cc split --remote-wait' endif
That way, you get a new window for inserting the commit message instead of a
nested nvim process. But git still waits for nvr to finish, so make sure to
delete the buffer after saving the commit message: `:w | bd`.
If you don't like using `:w | bd` and prefer the good old `:wq` (or `:x`),
put the following in your vimrc:
autocmd FileType gitcommit,gitrebase,gitconfig set bufhidden=deleteTo use nvr from a regular shell as well:
$ git config --global core.editor 'nvr --remote-wait-silent'
Use nvr as git mergetool.
If you want to use nvr for
git difftoolandgit mergetool, put this in
your gitconfig:[diff] tool = nvr [difftool "nvr"] cmd = nvr -s -d $LOCAL $REMOTE [merge] tool = nvr [mergetool "nvr"] cmd = nvr -s -d $LOCAL $BASE $REMOTE $MERGED -c 'wincmd J | wincmd ='
`nvr -d` is a shortcut for `nvr -d -O` and acts like `vim -d`, thus it uses
`:vsplit` to open the buffers. If you want them to be opened via `:split`
instead, use `nvr -d -o`.
When used as mergetool and all four buffers got opened, the cursor is in the
window containing the $MERGED buffer. We move it to the bottom via `:wincmd
J` and then equalize the size of all windows via `:wincmd =`.
Use nvr for scripting.

FAQ
How to open directories?
:e /tmpopens a directory view via netrw. Netrw works by hooking into certain
events,BufEnterin this case (see:au FileExplorerfor all of them).Unfortunately Neovim's API doesn't trigger any autocmds on its own, so simply
nvr /tmpwon't work. Meanwhile you can work around it like this:$ nvr /tmp -c 'doautocmd BufEnter'- Reading from stdin?
Yes! E.g.
echo "foo\nbar" | nvr -o -andcat file | nvr --remote -work just
as you would expect them to work. - Exit code?
If you use a [recent enough
Neovim](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/commit/d2e8c76dc22460ddfde80477dd93aab3d5866506), nvr will use the same exit code as the linked nvim.E.g.
nvr --remote-wait <file>and then:cquitin the linked nvim will make
nvr return with 1. How to send a message to all waiting clients?
If you open a buffer with any of the wait options, that buffer will get a
variableb:nvr. The variable contains a list of channels wheres each
channel is a waiting nvr client.Currently nvr only understands the
Exitmessage. You could use it to
disconnect all waiting nvr clients at once:command! DisconnectClients \ if exists('b:nvr') \| for client in b:nvr \| silent! call rpcnotify(client, 'Exit', 1) \| endfor \| endif- Can I have auto-completion for bash?
If you want basic auto-completion for bash, you can source [this
script](contrib/completion.bash) in your .bashrc.This also completes server names with the
--servernameoption.
