godot-nvim-bridge

Small set of scripts for easier integration of Neovim as Godot Engine external editor.

Warning

This is experimental project. Expect errors and weird behavior.

Requirements

These scripts assume that you have nvim in your PATH env-var.

Usage

Clone this repo and open editor settings inside Godot:

Editor -> Editor Settings -> Text Editor -> External

Setup it like this (First line is for Windows and second line is for Linux):

Exec Path: /path/to/godot-neovide-bridge/windows/run.cmd
Exec Path: /path/to/godot-neovide-bridge/linux/godot-nvim-bridge.sh
Exec Flags: {file} {col} {line}
Use External Editor: true

If you are using .NET version of Godot Engine you can also set it up for C# scripts:

Editor -> Editor Settings -> Dotnet -> Editor

And set it as follows:

External Editor: Custom
Custom Exec Path: /path/to/godot-neovide-bridge/windows/run.cmd
Custom Exec Path: /path/to/godot-neovide-bridge/linux/godot-nvim-bridge.sh
Custom Exec Path Args: {file} {col} {line}

On Linux you should also setup your shell aliases to start Neovim like this:

alias gdnvim="nvim --listen $HOME/.cache/nvim/godot-server.pipe"

Troubleshooting

If Neovim is complaining about address being already in use,
just remove the existing pipe file and restart Neovim.

rm $HOME/.cache/nvim/godot-server.pipe
