Where Does VimR Store Config on Mac?
Where VimR keeps vimrc, workspaces and preferences on Mac for backup and full migration work.
Last updated
VimR layers Mac GUI state over standard Neovim files: vimrc and plugin folders shared with terminal use, plus workspaces and a preferences plist for window layout. The split keeps one config working everywhere.
Copy all three halves with VimR closed for migration. Plugin managers rebuild from lockfiles when versions drift, so note working sets. Reach Library through Go to Folder for the plist side.

Vimrc plus workspaces shared with Neovim, GUI state in preferences. Copy all three with the app closed. Managers rebuild from lockfiles.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move VimR to a new Mac?
Copy vimrc, the workspace files and the preferences plist with VimR closed. Options travel in vimrc, projects in workspaces. Restoring means dropping all three back.
Do VimR and terminal Neovim share config?
VimR reads the same vimrc and plugin folders as Neovim, so one config serves both. GUI only options live in the app preferences. Keep a single source and symlink when sharing.
