# :help config, :help base-directories — $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim on Unix,

# $LOCALAPPDATA/nvim on Windows. Everything under it is configuration except

# the caches plugin managers drop there.

paths = ["~/.config/nvim/", "%LOCALAPPDATA%/nvim/"]

# The first two repeat under %LOCALAPPDATA%: the Windows config tree grows

# the same plugin-manager leftovers, and an exclude that names only the Unix

# copy leaves them syncing from a Windows machine. The last three are the Unix

# data/state/cache dirs, which have no counterpart under the config path.

# :help base-directories again: those three are $XDG_DATA_HOME,

# $XDG_STATE_HOME and $XDG_CACHE_HOME on every Unix, macOS included —

# `nvim --headless -c 'echo stdpath("data")'` on a Mac prints

# ~/.local/share/nvim. So they are [xdgData] and [xdgCache], not [dataHome] /

# [cacheHome], which name ~/Library directories Neovim never writes. The state

# directory has no base-directory name in this syntax and stays literal.

Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

Opens otty://sync/add/neovim. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.

Every one of these is generated from the same rules as this page.
