How to change Neovim config directory

Question

My current config file is at

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\nvim

But I set up a new config setup in C:\Users\User\.config\nvim

How can I change it so that the config directory reflects this change? Thanks!

Answer 1

In neovim 0.9.0 it was included support for environment variable NVIM_APPNAME that allows configuring the config file location

For instance, by setting NVIM_APPNAME=nvim-v2, config files will be in C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\nvim-v2
