Was this working previously?

With enableNeovim: true I can run :m3

[keeed]

@xconverge I tried adding adding vim.enableNeovim: true in my User Settings but is still getting the error.

Also, I'm not sure if this was working previously. It's my first time to try the :m command with vscodevim.

[xconverge]

did you restart after enabling neovim support?

[keeed]

Yup, I restarted vscode but is still not working.

@keeed
maybe you should set neovimPath

"vim.enableNeovim":true,
"vim.neovimPath": "c:/opt/Neovim/bin/nvim.exe",

I too suspect its an error with your neovim settings or installation. Try adjusting vim.debug.loggingLevel to see if there are pertient logs.

In an effort to keep our issue count sane, I am closing this issue.

I was having the same issue and I added neovim to the path too, it was not working. Turns out the path was not working because the sample path for windows given in the comment above the vim:neovimPath setting provides wrong info.

// Path to run neovim executable. For example, /usr/bin/nvim, or C:\Program Files\Neovim\bin\nvim.exe "vim.neovimPath": "nvim"

The correct way should be C:\\Program Files\\Neovim\\bin\\nvim.exe using escape character, please update comment else it is going to confuse a lot of people.

This is actually a bit weird

That is how I have it written in package.json already for the reason you mentioned

[jpoon]

It gets presented in VS Code as:

@fengbo123 Solved for me! Thanks a lot! This was the only command I needed to be perfect!

For those still trying, enable Neovim as fengbo discribed. After that, restart VSCode, then the correct command is:
:<starting_line>,<final_line>m <destination_line>[ENTER]
