"nc" is a Vim plugin designed to provide syntax highlighting for Neuron C (*.nc) files in Vim.
Vim is a well-known text editor that was first released in 1991. It was created as an extended version of the vi editor, designed to be helpful for editing program source code. Vim is free and open-source software that is cross-platform, though it is most popular on Unix-like operating systems.
Vim has a unique interface that is based on commands given in a text user interface, rather than menus or icons. Its GUI mode, gVim, adds menus and toolbars for commonly used commands, but its full functionality is still expressed through its command line mode. Though learning the basics of Vim may be difficult initially, users progress quickly and find that it increases their editing efficiency.
To facilitate the learning process, Vim has a built-in tutorial for beginners. Additionally, the Vim Users' Manual details all of the basic and more advanced Vim features and can be read from within Vim or found online. Vim also has a helpful built-in help facility that allows users to query and navigate through commands and features by using the :help command.
nc requires Vim as a prerequisite and adds the 'online' keyword to its features. This release has also updated common errors, such as not using the #if 0 or volatile storage modifier. Overall, the nc plugin is a helpful addition to those working with Neuron C files in Vim.
