A Sublime Text 3 plugin that embeds a real Neovim instance to provide accurate vim editing for every buffer, bidirectionally synced with the Sublime UI. Unlike vim emulation plugins, it runs actual vim so your vimrc, plugins, and motions all work natively.

Use cases

• use real vim keybindings and commands inside Sublime Text
• load my vimrc and vim plugins in Sublime Text
• replace Sublime's Vintage mode with true vim behavior
• edit Sublime buffers with vim motions while keeping Sublime features
• toggle vim input mode in Sublime without losing state

When to choose

• you want genuine vim editing (not emulation) inside Sublime Text 3
• you rely on vim plugins or a custom vimrc while preferring Sublime's UI and ecosystem
• you're on Windows or macOS where the plugin is primarily tested

When to avoid

• you depend on Sublime's multiple selections or typing autocompletion popups
• you regularly edit extremely large files and need full performance
• you need an actively developed plugin - the project is in maintenance mode with closed issues
