Notes

I am new to both Nushell and Vimscript, and I am currently learning both at the same time. Please bear in mind that this little project is still very much a work in progress. I couldn't find a Nushell plugin for Vim, so I decided to create one myself. Suggestions for improvement are highly appreciated.

Tested with Vim 9.0
