Using nushell in neovim
I took me a little while completely getting nushell to work as the shell in neovim, but having nushell at my fingertips directly in my text editor was well worth the effort.
I am using astronvim and altered the astrocore.lua file like so:
shell = "/home/lk/.cargo/bin/nu",
shellcmdflag = "--login --stdin --no-newline -c",
shellredir = "out+err> %s",
shellpipe = "| complete | update stderr { ansi strip } | tee { get stderr | save --force --raw %s } | into record",
shelltemp = false,
shellxescape = "",
shellxquote = "",
shellquote = "",
Some more generel explanation and settings can be found here:

PS. I added the --login
flag to get acces to my custom commands. They are very useful for me in nvim since I use it mainly to generate journalistic content. Especially my custom commands concerning aichat and “tucs”.
