# nvim-ctrl

`nvim-ctrl` sends commands to all running neovim instances.

Examples:

```sh

# Turn on dark syntax

nvim-ctrl 'set background=dark'

# Toggle night mode based on environment variable

nvim-ctrl 'let $NIGHT_MODE="true"'

nvim-ctrl 'source ~/.dotfiles/nvim/init.vim`

```

## Install

1. Download a binary from [releases](https://github.com/chmln/nvim-ctrl/releases)

OR

`cargo install --git https://github.com/chmln/nvim-ctrl`

2. Open up neovim in a few places and run some commands with `nvim-ctrl`

## How It Works

Neovim [automatically](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/master/runtime/doc/api.txt) sets up RPC sockets in /tmp on unix systems, unless its overridden by `--listen`. `nvim-ctrl` finds these sockets and sends them the appropriate commands.
