neovim-remote v1.4.0

Upgrade: pip3 install -U neovim-remote

A few bugs were fixed and the documentation was polished a lot. The main changes were..

Read from stdin

The following does exactly what you expect it to do:

$ cat file | nvr -o -
$ echo "foo\nbar" | nvr --remote-wait -

Quit using the same exit code as nvim

nvr --remote-wait file and then :cquit in nvim will make nvr quit with exit code 1.

This only works if your nvim is recent enough. Otherwise nvr will always quit with 0.

Expose b:nvr

Imagine nvr --remote-wait file. The buffer that represents "file" in nvim now has a local variable b:nvr. It's a list of channels for each connected nvr process.

If we wanted to create a command that disconnects all nvr processes with exit code 1:

command! Cquit
    \  if exists('b:nvr')
    \|   for chanid in b:nvr
    \|     silent! call rpcnotify(chanid, 'Exit', 1)
    \|   endfor
    \| endif
