### Neovim differences
neovim doesn't implement some features Vimspector relies on (WinBar and prompt
buffers), so you have to use `:Vimspector*` commands (see [Usage][#usage]).
neovim doesn't implement some features Vimspector relies on:
* WinBar - used for the buttons at the top of the code window and for changing
the output window's current output.
* Prompt Buffers - used to send commands in the Console and add Watches
* Balloons - used to display the values of variables when debugging.
Workarounds are in place as follows:
* WinBar - There are [mappings](#mappings),
[`:VimspectorShowOutput`](#program-output) and
[`:VimspectorReset`](#closing-debugger)
* Prompt Buffers - There are [`:VimspectorEval`](#console)
and [`:VimspectorWatch`](#watches)
There is no workaroud for the lack of baloons; you'll just have to use
`:VimspectorEval` or `:VimspectorWatch`, or switch to Vim.
