  • Vim C API
    1 project | /r/vim | 30 May 2023
    I am working on a hobby project in which I need to simulate vim motions outside of vim. I need some API that have functions that would take as input a text, some vim mode and a key (or sequence of keys) and return what is the output text and vim mode. It could be in Rust, C or C++. I tried using libvim (https://github.com/onivim/libvim) but it is way more than I want (and also, I am having a hard time to build it on my machine). Are there any other alternatives?
  • Failing to include libvim
    1 project | /r/C_Programming | 4 Jan 2023
    Hi there! I'm trying to import https://github.com/onivim/libvim in a separate standalone file. But, just cloning the repository and using #include "../libvim/src/libvim.h" doesn't work, as the file contains multiple errors. It seems to me that libvim also have other dependencies that are missing, which causes such errors. If I try to build it, in the way that is explained in README.md it works, but I suppose that this happens because the Makefile adds the necessary dependencies. The Makefile has over 3000 lines, and I don't have much experience on this. Is there a standard way to automatically add any necessary dependencies? Am I using this library in a wrong way?
  • Where do we stand with regard to neovim being everywhere?

    Oni is a proper neovim gui, whereas Oni2 is something else entirely (uses https://github.com/onivim/libvim).
  • Do VIM keybindings make sense in a knowledge base app?

    You might want to look at https://github.com/onivim/libvim Dunno what it's capabilities are, but, it might be of use.
  • Given Neovim, is there any reason to purchase Onivim? Also, are nvim/vim plugins vs VSCode plugins equally available?
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 5 Jul 2021
    In progress work, but we do use vim under the hood (i.e. a fork of vim, where we've made it more suitable for being used as a library: https://github.com/onivim/libvim). So we can support vim plugins (or at least a subset of them), we just want to have tests back up and running for them in libvim, and have more testing in place at the Oni2 end as well.

    Seems they had trouble implementing that with Neovim[0]. Relevant reddit thread[1]
