Neovim Nutty

Lots of work has gone into this release, and lots of cool features to talk about this time.

Neovim Integration (for Ex commands)

One of the most highly 👍'ed issues in VsCodeVim's history is now officially underway. The first thing we've done is enable you to offload all Ex-commands to neovim.

Enable this by setting vim.enableNeovim to true, and setting vim.neovimPath. This feature is still somewhat experimental, so report any issues you find!

Fixes #737, #828, #991, #1032, #1237, #1401, #1412, #1517, #1524, #1525, #1589, #1611, #1698, #1723, and #1732.

Foldfix

The most highly 👍'ed issue in VsCodeVim history now has a (hopefully temporary) fix. Enable vim.foldfix, and move over folds freely!

Fixes #1004, kinda.

Other features

• Selecting range before Ex-commands no longer highlights the initial text @Chillee #792
• Adds <del> functionality @Chillee #1256 #394
• Adds support for complex tags in surround @admosity
• Adds [range]o/O #1531
• Adds support for gf with line numbers @Chillee #1655
• Adds support for search in the visual modes @Chillee #1529
• Adds support for pasting with multiple cursors @Chillee #1715
• Made <esc> close find all references pop up even if it's empty @Chillee #1436
• Refactored repeating operators (like dd or yy), adding support for gqq, yss (surround), and fixed gcc @Chillee #1534 #1518 #1716 #1618 #1450
  One thing to note: This fix actually introduces a breaking change. gb is now Add next occurence, and gc is now the comment operator. If you want to switch them back, paste

"vim.otherModesKeyBindings": [
    {
        "before": ["g", "b"],
        "after": ["g", "c"]
    },
    {
        "before": ["g", "c"],
        "after": ["g", "b"]
    }
]

into your settings.json. The reason we decided to make this change was that gbb was a fundamentally unsound action. There's 2 ways it can always be interpreted, as gbb the repeated comment operator, or as gb b, the comment operator applied over the movement b.
