This is the area where you we guide you to Install and use NeoVim


== Pre-Installation Steps


=== Clone repo

[source,bash]
----
mkdir [dir4project]
cd [dir4project]
GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true git clone https://git.swarmlab.io:3000/docs/docs/src/branch/master

== Key map features

I try to avoid C- combinations for the things I do frequently, mapping things that make sense to the <leader> key. 

The leader key provides a facility for creating customized shortcuts that can be further restricted to apply only in certain modes, such as normal, insert, visual, terminal (neovim-specific), etc.

The leader key is normally defined by the mapleader variable as \.
