I tried it myself (output abbreviated): ```sh $ xbps-alternatives -l ... vi - nvi (current) ... $ xi vim ... $ xbps-alternatives -l ... vi - nvi (current) - vim-common vim - vim (current) ... $ xi neovim ... $ xbps-alternatives -l ... vi - nvi (current) - vim-common - neovim vim - vim (current) - neovim ... ```
