A modern, cross-platform Neovim distribution for C/C++, Lua, and everyday development.

---

✨ Highlights

• 🚀 Two complete editor environments
  • COC (viml.sh)
  • Native LSP (viml2.sh)
• 🐳 Fully reproducible Docker environments
• ⚡ Fast startup and modern UI
• 🌲 Tree-sitter syntax highlighting
• 🔭 Telescope fuzzy finder
• 🛠️ Clangd and Lua development
• 💾 Persistent editor state
• 🌎 Linux, macOS, and Windows support

---

🚀 Quick Start

Local (COC)

./viml.sh .

Local (Native LSP)

./viml2.sh .

Docker (COC)

./build_nvim.sh
./dviml.sh .

Docker (Native LSP)

./build_nvim2.sh
./dviml2.sh .

---

📂 Repository Scripts

Script	Description
viml.sh	Launch local COC configuration
viml2.sh	Launch local Native LSP configuration
dviml.sh	Launch Docker COC configuration
dviml2.sh	Launch Docker Native LSP configuration
build_nvim.sh	Build Docker COC image
build_nvim2.sh	Build Docker Native LSP image
build_all.sh	Build both Docker images

---

🎯 Which Configuration?

🚀 COC

Best if you want:

• Rich completion
• Mature plugin ecosystem
• Extensive language support
• IDE-like experience

⚡ Native LSP

Best if you prefer:

• Pure Neovim
• Built-in LSP
• Lower memory usage
• Faster startup
• Minimal configuration

---

💻 Local Development

All launcher arguments are forwarded directly to Neovim.

Examples:

./viml.sh .
./viml.sh src/main.cpp
./viml.sh +150 src/main.cpp
./viml.sh -p file1.cpp file2.cpp

The same options work with viml2.sh.

---

🐳 Docker Development

Build once:

./build_nvim.sh

Launch:

./dviml.sh .

Or use the native LSP environment:

./build_nvim2.sh
./dviml2.sh .

Note: build_all.sh builds both images and may remove unused Docker resources beforehand.

⚖️ Local vs Docker

Local	Docker
⚡ Fastest startup	🔒 Fully isolated
🖥️ Uses host toolchain	📦 Reproducible environment
💾 Native filesystem	🧪 Great for testing
🚀 Daily development	🔄 Consistent across machines

---

💾 Persistent Docker Data

Docker containers are disposable, but your editor state is not.

The Docker launchers preserve:

• Plugin installations
• Cache
• Undo history
• ShaDa history
• Swap files

Each environment maintains its own independent data directory.

---

📋 Requirements

🖥️ Local

• Git
• Supported shell
• Linux, macOS, or Windows

🐳 Docker

• Docker Engine

---
