Hi, thanks, seems to work fine indeed.
Would it be possible then to ship a standard /etc/xdg/nvim/sysinit.vim so it's
better documented, and maybe mimic the default vim init file in order to
facilitate the transition?
The packaged system-wide vimrc exists for Vim because it has far more
conservative defaults and it's own unique config system.
Neovim's defaults are pretty aligned to the Debianized defaults for Vim,
and its embrace of the XDG directories was specifically to align to a
common standard.
I don't think it needs a stock system-wide init file, but I could ship
an empty /etc/xdg/nvim/ to make it a bit more obvious.
