VSCodium & Neovim

What is VSCodium?

From vscodium.com:

Microsoft’s vscode source code is open source (MIT-licensed), but the product available for download (Visual Studio Code) is licensed under this not-FLOSS license and contains telemetry/tracking.

Installing VSCodium

• On Mac

  brew install --cask vscodium

• Arch Linux

  yay -S vscodium

• Ubuntu

  sudo apt install vscodium

Configuring Plugins

By default you will be able to use all of the extensions available on open-vsx.org.

If you want all of the extensions available in vanilla VS Code then you will need to edit product.json and add the following:

"extensionsGallery": { "serviceUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery", "itemUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items" }

Finding product.json on Mac

Open Finder then Applications

Then right click VSCodium and select Show Package Contents

From here the path is Contents/Resources/app/product.json

Finding product.json on Linux

Here is the path to product.json on Linux:

/usr/share/vscodium-bin/resources/app/product.json

The Neovim Extension

From the repo description:

The extension is using full embedded neovim instance as backend (with the exception of the insert mode and window/buffer/file management), no more half-complete VIM emulation
