+Nvim *nvim* *nvim-intro*
-If you are new to Vim (and Nvim) see |help.txt| or type ":Tutor".
-If you already use Vim (but not Nvim) see |nvim-from-vim| for a quickstart.
+Nvim is based on Vim by Bram Moolenaar.

+If you are new to Vim see |help.txt|, or type ":Tutor".
+If you already use Vim see |nvim-from-vim| for a quickstart.
Nvim is emphatically a fork of Vim, not a clone: compatibility with Vim is
maintained where possible. See |vim_diff.txt| for the complete reference of
differences from Vim.

==============================================================================
Transitioning from Vim *nvim-from-vim*
-To start the transition, link your previous configuration so Nvim can use it:
+To start the transition, create ~/.config/nvim/init.vim with these contents:
>
- mkdir ~/.config
- ln -s ~/.vim ~/.config/nvim
- ln -s ~/.vimrc ~/.config/nvim/init.vim
+ set runtimepath^=~/.vim runtimepath+=~/.vim/after
+ let &packpath = &runtimepath
+ source ~/.vimrc
<
Note: If your system sets `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, use that instead of `~/.config`
in the code above. Nvim follows the XDG |base-directories| convention.
