• GH-302, GH-421: The vimr CLI tool has two new options:
  • --wait: When present, the vimr CLI tool will exit only after the corresponding VimR window has been closed. This is particularly useful when combined with the --nvim option as described below.
  • --nvim: When present, all command line arguments except --dry-run and --wait, see above, will be passed over to the background nvim process when launching. This means that you can now use for example the -d option to activate the diffmode. To use VimR as git difftool, add the following to your ~/.gitconfig

    [difftool "vimrdiff"]
      cmd = vimr --wait --nvim -d $LOCAL $REMOTE
    [diff]
      tool = vimrdiff
    

  You have to re-install the vimr CLI tool in the Preferences window as described in the wiki.
