In vim, the default behavior of the key in command mode : is to walk through command history (similar to q:). In neovim, walks through a list of possible commands (completion). Is it possible to switch to the vim behavior? Thanks!
On my system If you press : and then the up arrow nvim goes through all the command history. But if you press : and then one letter or more, nvim goes through commands in the history that start with whatever you typed in. If you type in a couple of letters and hit tab it goes into auto completion mode.
I think vim and neovim behaviour is exactly the same here (checked on Vim 9.0). Are you sure you don’t have any mapping or plugin for that in your vim config?
Bah, you’re right. I tested with nvim --clean. It was my usage of gelguy/wilder.nvim. Thanks for the sanity check.
