Nitpick:

This is not CLI, right? This is TUI.

Reading the headline I thought this was about using nvim as a command line tool as opposed to an interactive editor (e.g. as a sed replacement).

CLI (Command Line Interface) means to me means the options / arguments / flags of calling a single command.

This is about a specific nvim configuration (or set of plugins) to make nvim a powerful TUI (terminal user interface) IDE




Yes you are correct. A lot of people might think that TUI "requires" some kind of decorations like ncurses offer, had the headline referred to this as a CLI application/program then we could accept it, but this is strictly speaking a TUI.


Ok, we've s/CLI/TUI/'d the title above. Thanks!
