This is a NeoVim distribution optimized for writing. Key shortcuts (using Space instead of Ctrl) are a homage to WordStar.
For comprehensive documentation, visit the VimStar Site or check out the site/ directory.
-
Press Space in normal mode to see the menu.
-
There are WordStar-like key bindings with helpful menus. Instead, however, of the Ctrl key, they're prefixed with Space instead, to avoid collision with Vim keys (such as Ctrl-o). See Space-k, Space-o, Space-q, and Space-g.
-
Plugins are downloaded automatically via Lazy, and should be downloaded automatically after installing.
-
Configuration is symlinked, so you can try VimStar and then easily go back to your own configuration (have a look at the install script).
The installation scripts
- Clone/update VimStar to
~\.VimStar - On Linux, symlink the ~/.VimStar to ~/.config/nvim
- On Windows, copy the configuration to
%LOCALAPPDATA%\nvim, create required directories, and set up user config template
Note: You must have Git installed and available in your PATH. Also, take note that I used AI to generate the Windows script, and it hasn't been tested as far as I know.
Execute this at the CLI:
curl -sLf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sez11a/VimStar/master/install-vimstar.sh | bashExecute this in PowerShell:

That's all for now. Enjoy!
