Mighty nano inside a vim.

I initially wrote this for a parody hackathon, and now I just want to see how far I can go with this.

vim8 support blog post

Features

  • Looks like GNU nano
  • Various nano shortcuts/features
  • No Normal/Insert mode

Requirements

  • neovim/vim8 (terminal support abused to replicate nano interface)
  • python (should work with 2 or 3, I only test it on py3 nowadays)

Installation

Not yet packaged as a plugin, because you don't need a vimrc anyway!

$ git clone https://github.com/nims11/vim-nano.git
$ cd vim-nano/
$ nvim -u nano.vim
