Installation

  • RECOMENDED: On Windows 10/11 to allow creations of symlinks (npm creates them) you need to enable Developer Mode Go to Settings > System > For Developers > Developer Mode > On

    https://neacsu.net/posts/win_symlinks

  • RetroNvim installs cvim a vscodevim fork with flash.nvim support and whichkey a menu for keymaps vscode extensions as optional dependencies

  • some text-objects requires install vscode-neovim (tested on vscode-neovim version v1.18.24, neovim version v0.11.0 and retronvim version v0.4.2, future versions may be incompatible with retronvim's init.lua file) and uninstall/disable cvim extension, you may need to relaunch vscode, alternatively use nvim or yazi when opening a terminal with the profile zsh (retronvim) or powershell(retronvim) which are the default profile when opening a terminal

  • nvim/yazi/zsh/powershell will search for retronvim installation path alphabetically (~/.cursor then ~/.vscode then ~/.windsurf ...) and will use the first one found

  • Touchcursor Keyboard Layout on MacOs requires brew install karabiner or open whichkey > +Install Dependencies > install brew karabiner

Manual Install

  • Linux/MacOS:

    curl -L pixi.sh/install.sh | bash
source ~/.zshrc
pixi global install git nodejs nvim yazi
git clone --recursive https://github.com/yeferyv/retronvim
cd retronvim
npx vsce package --out   retronvim.vsix
code --install-extension retronvim.vsix

  • Windows 10/11:

    winget install gnuwin32.file git.git neovim.neovim openjs.nodejs prefix-dev.pixi sxyazi.yazi microsoft.vcredist.2015+.x64 # microsoft.visualstudiocode # then relaunch terminal
git clone --recursive https://github.com/yeferyv/retronvim
cd retronvim
npx vsce package --out   retronvim.vsix
code --install-extension retronvim.vsix

Install Retronvim on any terminal or ssh

  • Linux/Macos/Msys2:

    code  --install-extension  yeferyv.retronvim
cp    ~/.vscode/extensions/yeferyv.retronvim*/zsh/.zshrc  ~/.zshrc

  • SSH:

    curl  -s https://api.github.com/repos/yeferyv/retronvim/releases/latest | grep --only-matching --extended-regexp "https.*linux.*vsix" | curl -o retronvim.vsix -L @-
unzip retronvim.vsix -d /tmp
mkdir -p                             ~/.vscode/extensions/yeferyv.retronvim
cp    -r  /tmp/extension/*           ~/.vscode/extensions/yeferyv.retronvim
cp    -r  /tmp/extension/zsh/.zshrc  ~/.zshrc

  • Windows 10/11:

    set-executionpolicy bypass currentuser ################################################ allow to load profile.ps1
winget  install vscode ################################################################ then relaunch terminal
code  --install-extension  yeferyv.retronvim
cp -r ~/.vscode/extensions/yeferyv.retronvim*/powershell  ~/documents/windowspowershell

Install from github releases (offline)(portable) open command palette ctrl+shift+p then type Extensions: install from vsix.

VSCode Marketplace

Trobleshotting

  • remove the ~/.vscode/extensions/yeferyv.retronvim symlink and relaunch vscode
  • remove vscode-neovim.neovimExecutablePaths.linux vscode-neovim.neovimExecutablePaths.win32 vscode-neovim.neovimExecutablePaths.darwin from settings.json and relaunch vscode
  • remove terminal.integrated.env.linux terminal.integrated.env.osx terminal.integrated.env.windows from settings.json and relaunch vscode
  • open vscode command palette and type: Output: Show Output Channels > vscode-neovim logs

Package Manager (optional)

  • open whichkey > +Install Dependencies > install brew for macos or whichkey > +Install Dependencies > install nix-env for linux or whichkey > +Install Dependencies > install scoop for windows or just use pixi if you don't need GUI programs
