neovide VS goneovim

- have a “graphical” user interface: https://github.com/neovide/neovide

The process above works fine, though, depending on your setup and project, you might appreciate the benefits of a lean editor like Neovide. So, let’s see how to configure Neovim to run with Unreal Engine.

EDIT: I found this just now -> https://github.com/neovide/neovide/issues/1902 and disabling relative line numbers does indeed make the problem more or less disappear.

Not Emacs, but perhaps https://github.com/neovide/neovide will be of interest to you.

im certainly not a programmer , but NVIM with SOME gui like neovide it looks amazing and great,

Yes it is neovide: https://github.com/neovide/neovide

iTerm2, since Terminal.app doesn't support 24-bit colors and I used Neovim for some time. I now use Neovide for Neovim, so all I use iTerm2 for now is the UI (I have a theme I like, plus dark mode actually works).

I feel this smooth cursor should be everywhere by default, as it gives so much better user experience. I have also been looking for a solution for neovim as well, but based on what I know, only Neovide has support for this. And most plugins do smooth scrolling only, rather than smooth cursor.

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.
