Voted the most loved editor for the second year in the row,
Neovim is a self proclaimed "hyper extensible" Vim-based text editor.
It is a fork of vim, focused purely on customisation, and usability.
In the wider Rust community, Neovim is extremely popular.
To install Neovim, you can follow the instructions on the
Neovim GitHub page.
You should use the latest stable version of Neovim, such that
you have access to the Language Server Protocol update.

Code Completion
Code Actions
Code Navigation
