<p>To implement a code runner in neovim you'll have to write a script, you can just copy the following script, written in VimScript into you <code>init.vim</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-plaintext">map &lt;F5&gt; :call CompileRunGcc()&lt;CR&gt;
func! CompileRunGcc()
exec "w"
if &amp;filetype == 'c'
 exec "!gcc % -o %&lt;"
 exec "!time ./%&lt;"
elseif &amp;filetype == 'cpp'
 exec "!g++ % -o %&lt;"
 exec "!time ./%&lt;"
elseif &amp;filetype == 'java'
 exec "!javac %"
elseif &amp;filetype == 'js'
 exec "!node %"
 exec "!time java -cp %:p:h %:t:r"
elseif &amp;filetype == 'sh'
 exec "!time bash %"
elseif &amp;filetype == 'python'
 exec "!time python3 %"
elseif &amp;filetype == 'html'
 exec "!firefox % &amp;"
elseif &amp;filetype == 'go'
 exec "!go build %&lt;"
</code></pre>
<p>This script is mapped to <code>F5</code> you can change the mapping as per your workflow.</p>


To implement a code runner in neovim you'll have to write a script, you can just copy the following script, written in VimScript into you `init.vim`:

```plaintext
map <F5> :call CompileRunGcc()<CR>
func! CompileRunGcc()
exec "w"
if &filetype == 'c'
 exec "!gcc % -o %<"
 exec "!time ./%<"
elseif &filetype == 'cpp'
 exec "!g++ % -o %<"
 exec "!time ./%<"
elseif &filetype == 'java'
 exec "!javac %"
elseif &filetype == 'js'
 exec "!node %"
 exec "!time java -cp %:p:h %:t:r"
elseif &filetype == 'sh'
 exec "!time bash %"
elseif &filetype == 'python'
 exec "!time python3 %"
elseif &filetype == 'html'
 exec "!firefox % &"
elseif &filetype == 'go'
 exec "!go build %<"
```

This script is mapped to `F5` you can change the mapping as per your workflow.
