Neovim is a refactor, and sometimes redactor, in the tradition of Vim (which itself derives from
|
||||
Stevie). It is not a rewrite but a continuation and extension of Vim. Many clones and derivatives
|
||||
exist, some very clever—but none are Vim. Neovim is built for users who want the good parts of
|
||||
Vim, and more.

1. The text above has been cyphered with the Caesar cipher, a timeless classic
|
||||
algorithm to abstract the meaning away from a text and arguably an early
|
||||
form of encryption. Your task is to decipher it back into readable text.
|
||||
|
||||
### The Caesar cipher
|
||||
|
||||
For the Caesar cipher, all letters are shifted by the value of the key.
|
||||
|
||||
**Examples**
|
||||
|
||||
`foo Bar` becomes `gpp Cbs` when shifted by $1$.
