Unity Neovim Code Editor

Make Neovim a Unity first-class citizen!

Goals of this project

Integrate neovim with unity as external script editor
- Neovim can be selected as external script editor
- Files of appropriate type will be opened in neovim
  - Opening a file without existing neovim instance opens a new neovim instance
  - Opening a file with existing neovim instance opens the file in the existing neovim instance
- .NET based unity solution files will be synced if necessary (new file added, file deleted, file renamed)
- Manually trigger unity solution files synchronization via assets menu

Out of scope

Unity integration in neovim
- Syntax highlighting, code completion and further C# specific features are provided via neovim's language server capabilities.
- omnisharp-roslyn is the way to go
