neovim-qt VS instant.nvim

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.

maybe this https://github.com/jbyuki/instant.nvim.

For example, instant.nvim just shows where other clients are currently inserting. Assuming you don't do something daft like invite 500 strangers for a free-for-all, you shouldn't run into any problems.

You could also force your coworkers to use neovim and everyone can use https://github.com/jbyuki/instant.nvim (/j)

This has already been working in other forms for years, see for example https://github.com/mhinz/neovim-remote which is now more or less discontinued because the respective core implementation is indeed better longterm (again - this is a difference because this implements an unopinionated extension protocol that’s now easy to deliver with the refactoring efforts, not an opinionated packaged solution). A useful and fuller experience for the special case of remote editing would be https://github.com/jbyuki/instant.nvim for example, they also use this API principle you wanted to see - it’s just a nvim-server that is controlled remotely and you have an editor locally that acts as your direct interface (and you take this functionality into every other embedded solution!). And all of that is not just just somewhat fiddled solution but iterated solutions of the varying states of this feature implementation (on the path to neovim 1.0).

This plugin looks promising. https://github.com/jbyuki/instant.nvim

I've been keeping an eye on instant.nvim, though I haven't used it yet
