NeoVim UI implemented in C++ using gtk4. Gtk C++ wrappers are generated from GObject introspection. See the related project sakhnik/gir2cpp.
I need an easy deployable low latency UI for NeoVim in Windows. It should be both simple and flexible. After evaluation of the available ones from the related projects, I had to rule out almost every single one. The criteria were:
- No Electron (show stopper)
- Ability to run in KVM
- Proper text rendering, for instance, with combining characters: на́голос
- Simple code to be a playground for ideas
Turns out, it's quite easy to code after experiments with SpyUI.
Prerequisites:
The required font DejaVuSansMono.ttf is ubiquitously available in Linux.
./scripts/build.sh
In Windows, the required font could be installed with chocolatey: choco install dejavufonts.
choco install neovim --pre
choco install dejavufonts
choco install nvim-ui
