MGA9-64 Plasma. Installed neovim and dependencies, then updated with no installation issues.

nvim -h got me a help screen enumerating some options.

Ran it with "nvim mcc.txt" a short  old text file that I happened to have hanging around. I was able to read the file. I played with the keyboard, not knowing what I'm doing, and was able to edit the file.

Looks good here. Validating.

Here we go again - another clash.  Sorry TJ.

Used nvim to give neovim a short run before updating.  Copy and paste to the terminal session works fine as do the common vi commands.

Clean update.

There are many options,  documented but not always understandable.
Tried out a few things like editing a set of files.  Editing commands include all(?) the familiar vi commands.  Command mode is invoked in the same way: 
<Esc> :

$ ls wget-log*
wget-log  wget-log.1  wget-log.2
$ nvim wget-log*

<At this point ran the recommended check>

<At that point a summary was issued, which was immune to cut & paste.  It started with:
//h
Configuration
- WARNING Missing user config file ....
Runtime
- OK $VIMRUNTIME: /usr/share/nvim/runtime
[...]

So that looks OK.
Followed up with a cl type enquiry>
:!uname -a

Press ENTER or type command to continue
:n
<Moved to the next file in the queue>
wget-log wget-log.1
<file text - again cannot be cut & pasted>
:n
<and on to wget-log.2>
:wq
<this saves the current file and goes back to the head of the queue>
:wq

That exits and saves the first file.
$ ll wget*
-rw-r--r-- 1 lcl lcl 767 Feb 23 15:47 wget-log
-rw-r--r-- 1 lcl lcl 770 Feb 12 21:49 wget-log.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 lcl lcl 770 Feb 23 15:45 wget-log.2

As far as I understand it the above is all expected behaviour.  In particular, the output of embedded bash commands like uname is not saved in the current text.  Had a quick look at the half-hour built in interactive tutorial, only worth following if you are serious about using this editor. 

After loading:
:Tutor

That starts with the observation that <Esc> u will undo the latest change.
The man pages document the commandline options including --headless and --embed  which skip the user interface, good for scripted editing.

Leaving it there.  It looks as if it is working.

Nothing to be sorry about. You are more familiar with the app, and did a better test than I did. I'm grateful. 

I would have been even more grateful if your tests had revealed some problem that mine did not, something that should not be missed. That is the reason QA exists.

The goal here is to produce the best distro we can, not to stroke my ego. I'm not that delicate.

An update for this issue has been pushed to the Mageia Updates repository.
