nvim-scrollview VS goneovim

For scroll bar, try nvim-scrollview

Nice. I was using dstein64/nvim-scrollview for scrollbar, but I am now tempted to switch to this one for search/gitsign integration.

Here are a few ideas to help: - Make sure your cursor stands out and is easy to find - Briefly explain windows, the status bar, and the tab bar, and make sure he knows that the file names are indicated at the BOTTOM of a window in the status bar - Make sure you have line numbers turned on and perhaps use this scrollbar plugin https://github.com/dstein64/nvim-scrollview so he knows where in a file you are - Explain what you are doing constantly, especially if the screen appears to be changing all of a sudden e.g., when you are scrolling up/down, jumping to the next search match, jumping through the jump list, jumping to a code symbol, navigating to a new file, opening up a file explorer, opening a fuzzy finder, opening a terminal, etc.

Virtual text. Diagnostics/linters are the obvious use case here, but there are other clever uses that plugin authors can use this for. (indent-blankline, nvim-scrollview, ...)

I use neoscroll for smooth scrolling and if you want a scrollbar then use this https://github.com/dstein64/nvim-scrollview

As of 79797a0, this workaround and a few others are now applied automatically. Workarounds that would clobber existing customizations are not applied.

I tried various ways to approximate WinScrolled, including usage of CursorMoved, but was unsatisfied with the options I tried. I documented some of the issues here. I recall also encountering an issue in Vim where the popup window for the scrollbar would occasionally become the active window, but I didn't spend much time debugging that, having switched to developing the plugin for Neovim.

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.
