Anyone had success setting up nvim with the built-in bash of cmder?

[rlegendi]

Hi All,

I'd love to use neovim with cmder. Recently I was experimenting with wsl to make it work, which fixed a couple of problems (like gx functionality), but a lot of other things got broke (including using registers to copy paste).

Did anyone have any luck with running nvim under cmder with the built-in bash settings?

E.g., one of the functionalities that is missing is when you simply open up neovim, type !!date. It should execute the date command through the shell and put the output into the text being edited.

I usually got some temp file access errors, but I guess the reason being the terminal commands cannot be run properly. I was experimenting with different settings for :set shell=... but with no luck.

Any hints are more than welcome!

There are bunch of bugs related this:
neovim/neovim#14605
neovim/neovim#16957

Anyway this temporary solution works for me:

:let &shell = '"C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe"' in your ~/AppData/Local/nvim/init.vim
