dotfiles VS neovim-qt

Since I use both Sway and i3, I have a wrapper script for Sway that sets all wayland-specific environment variables.

I personally maintain a bunch of configs to make non-compliant applications behave.

Here's an example: https://gitlab.com/itaranto/dotfiles/-/blob/master/config/nvim/lua/plugins/init.lua

In my setup I share most of the config between the 2 in a shared config file, you can take a look here and here.

You can move .Xresources and friends to a different place by modifying the way you run Xorg, for example: https://gitlab.com/itaranto/dotfiles/-/blob/master/config/X11/xinitrc

You can check out my dotfiles here: https://gitlab.com/itaranto/dotfiles

While we are on the subject, there's also neovim-qt: https://github.com/equalsraf/neovim-qt

There's an issue here about "Invalid Font Height" but It seems already fixed.

Otherwise it's recommended to do it on UIEnter

:X, for one, which was rejected for idiotic reasons. I was also stupid errors from my vimrc, from bugs that were closed without fixing. Just no point trying to figure out how to get Neovim to behave like Vim when I already have Vim. *shrug*

Neovim in tmux, or neovim-qt if I don't need to be able to attach to the session remotely. I occasionally bounce back to Emacs, but that's becoming less often now that the TreeSitter and LSP plugins for Neovim have gotten so good. All of that lives in an Xorg session managed by i3. Docs live in zeal.

So apparently this is an open issue on github, hopefully it gets solved. At least I know its not my computer doing weird things

I prefer using neovim in a ui most of the time. Neovim-Qt served me quite well. For ligatures you have to use the latest release but it is easy to compile and install.
