neoscroll.nvim VS goneovim

I use [neoscroll](https://github.com/karb94/neoscroll.nvim) for scrolling. I use : and L for scrolling. So I added below keymap configs to lua/config/keymaps.lua. First I removed existing mappings and added the mappings. However L works as expected while : doesn't work at all. Weirdly enough, semicolon ; which I have mapped to colon : stops working and I had to resort to to quit.

karb94/neoscroll.nvim or echasnovski/mini.map for scrollbar ui

neoscroll seems to pass in a string of keybinds through vim.cmd.exec([[normal! ]] .. [[insert keybinds here]] .. [["]])

If you want smooth scrolling on a per line basis, use neoscroll or something.

i assume the smooth scrolling is neoscroll but could be some other plugin

This snippet might interest you if you like the idea of centering after / , but also like the smooth-scroll plugin neoscroll. Now you can combine them together.

Neovim has Neoscroll to replace jump scrolls with smooth scrolling:

There is a Helix issue (and poll, see last comment) requesting the same feature you could vote on:

https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/1671

There is also neoscroll

https://github.com/karb94/neoscroll.nvim is all that you need.

yeah, looks like https://github.com/akiyosi/goneovim

This sounds like goneovim

fvim and goneovim have support for gui-widgets.nvim which is a sort of protocol to define images and let Neovim GUIs display them.

but you can use a GUI like https://github.com/akiyosi/goneovim or https://github.com/neovide/neovide#remote-tcp-support

If you're fine with leaving the terminal, Goneovim has it built-in

Neovim in a terminal can only display monospaced characters. However there are GUIs for Neovim and Goneovim used to have a markdown preview.

I think the main thing now is probably waiting for one of the nvim GUIs to develop the appropriate features. Goneovim looks like it's getting there and may already be good enough for your needs. E.g. you can break any nvim window (floats, splits etc) into a separate external desktop window.

GUI - per se it runs in the terminal but there are GUIs you can use, e.g.: https://github.com/akiyosi/goneovim

you can start a headless neovim inside the container with nvim --listen 127.0.0.1:7777 --headless and then use something like goneovim (https://github.com/akiyosi/goneovim) to connect to this instance. all your tools (npm, linters etc) will be inside the container

Instead, Nvim provides an RPC protocol that may be implemented by external GUIs. For example, there exists a plugin that embeds Nvim into Firefox when editing textboxes, GUIs that leverage Nvim's multigrid support to support smooth scrolling, translucent popups, minimaps, etc. such as Uivonim, Goneovim and Neovide, and more.
