vscode-neovim: [BUG]: :w fails with E494: Not an editor command: Write with NVIM v0.6.0

Seems :w isn’t working for me. I don’t remember ever having this issue before, but I’m new to vscode and I just went to vacation for a month.

NVIM v0.6.0-dev+1639-g50b30de20

I’ve confirmed that it’s the 0.6 version of nvim that’s not compatible.

using the stable 0.5.1 release fixed it for me.

When is the release that has this fix?

A fix has already been proposed, just waiting for review/approval.

See PR #725.

@danielb2 I hit exactly the same issue this morning. After 3 hours of moving stuff around and testing I have got to a stable situation again…on Ubuntu 18.04 but the error was identical.

On 18.04 I was using the unstable ppa for neovim and that got updated to a version post 0.5.0…and it broke everything. I have pulled down the 0.5.0 stable appimage of neovim from here https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases and dropped it into my /home/username/bin directory and used that path in the vscode-neovim config and all is well with the world again.

Hope that helps you.
