What’s New in Neovim 0.11. I upgraded via Homebrew some weeks ago and didn’t notice any breaking changes. However, after reading this article, I tried to setup my LSP configurations via the new facilities, and it works like a charm: root_dir has to be replaced with root_markers, and the filetypes parameters is equivalent to the basename (e.g., filetype.lua) that I put in my ftplugin directory. It is much easier to manage basic autocompletion via omnifunc. I don’t use virtual text and I don’t really care about virtual lines either, but it looks great. I revamped some of my custom mappings since Neovim now ships with default meningful keymaps for goto actions. #vim

On macOS, relying on ZDOTDIR=$HOME/.config/zsh helps to declutter hidden files in $HOME. I initially put it in my $HOME/.zprofile, but you will need to use .zshenv (a symlink to .zprofile also works) in order to make your $PATH available in Neovim terminal. #vim

TIL about LocalSend.
