Neovim is a fork – with additions – of Vim that strives to improve the extensibility and maintainability of Vim. Neovim has the same configuration syntax as Vim; thus the same configuration file can be used with both editors, although there are minor differences in details of options. If the added features of Neovim are not used, Neovim is compatible with almost all of Vim's features.

BatCat is an extension for the shell that allows the contents of the formatted files to be viewed. It makes it easier to understand the code when we make a 'cat' on them. With the command batcat <file> we start it up. In the .zshrc file I have an alias to launch it with cat, keeping the original functionality of cat intact (to copy the content of a file the original cat is more useful since the lines of code don't appear).
In the following image you can see a simple example of a file in Python:
