Try yanking in Neovim with either "+y or "*y and then paste outside. These use registers dedicated for such cases.
If you want to share Neovim clipboard with system, take a look at `:h 'clipboard'` option.

After about 7 months, 'mini.nvim' gets a new module: 'mini.cmdline'. It contains command line tweaks that'll make #neovim usage a bit better: autocompletion, autocorrection, and autopeek of command range (like `:10` or `:10,20sort`).

Neovim still has all the basics of Vim, but with improved default options, first class Lua support for configs, and bigger standard library.
Any template/distro adds plugins, custom mappings, and more.
Kickstart and MiniMax are meant for user to read config files. This should make it easier.

I was hoping you'd give MiniMax a look (I am the author :) ). But 'kickstart.nvim' is a solid choice.

There are many: github.com/rockerBOO/aw...
There are:

- "Distributions" that provide and update various degree of abstraction layers (LazyVim, AstroVim, NvChad).

Very nice and informative. I'd add two things:
- There can be several highlight groups applied to a single cell and they can "combine" their attributes. How exactly - depends on how they are applied.
- Mention the `@variable.lua` type of groups and their nesting/fallback nature.

I am very happy to announce the release of MiniMax - Neovim config example(s) that is primarily based on MINI/mini.nvim.
The plan was to wait until when 'mini.statuscolumn' and 'mini.terminals' are implemented, but decided to just do it now.

Just to be clear: I am not advocating for you (or anyone) to move away from Helix. I think having a more informed decision will be a win-win situation here :)

Notes would be helpful. Thanks!
I am the 'mini.nvim' (github.com/nvim-mini/mi...) author. It contains a lot of useful modules. Better grep can come from 'mini.pick' and reference window can come from 'mini.clue'.
But it is Lua/Neovim only. So based on the other response, might not be a good fit.

Ah, that makes sense.
If you want to have a single Vimscript config for both Vim/Neovim, there is a way to source code only for Neovim: guard it behind `if has('nvim')`. Using Lua code in Vimscript is possible with `lua << EOF ... EOF` (see `:h lua-heredoc` in Neovim).

I am a part of Neovim team and author of plugins that improve mentioned behavior (there are many such plugins).
We are continuously trying to improve Neovim's "out of the box" LSP experience. So if you used those approaches, any feedback would be appreciated. If not - completely fine, of course :)

Not to detract from Helix (which is great), but for reference:
- Did you use new Neovim's `vim.lsp.enable` + `vim.lsp.config` together with 'neovim/nvim-lspconfig' plugin? The server setup is usually one line.
- Did you try dedicated plugins for better search and quick reference window?
