nvim-scrollview VS vimr

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.

For the commenters here: do we have something like VimR [1] for OSes other than the Mac that provides a file explorer sidebar with smaller font size (probably sans)?

I'm loading sessions at BufReadPost (also tried BufReadPre, which didn't work) instead of VimEnter because I couldn't find a way to find out the "true" CWD at VimEnter. I use VimR, which seems to launch nvim without any arguments even when I launch it from the command line like vimr path/to/file.ext or opening a file in macOS Finder, and set the CWD to $HOME instead of path/to. So at VimEnter, I'm only able to restore a session saved for $HOME, but not my project directory.

https://github.com/qvacua/vimr and https://github.com/qvacua/neovim/tree/5f8dd8c4a33203277cf6058f559383626411693d are good places to start

I've never tried a GUI version of Neovim, and this is the first I've heard of MacVim. Are you referring to VimR? If so, it seems like the problem could have been with the third party GUI software instead of the core Neovim software.
