uivonim VS neovide

I’ve never used Redux, just haven’t cared to look into it for any projects I’ve worked on, but from a quick glance at an example it seems like it could be useful/convenient. Although then again you can write an event dispatcher in like 30 lines of TS, probably with redux-like state with a little extra work, although I’ve never tried, and that could be a bad idea in practice idk.

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.

Porting my (forked, so not all my work) text editor uivonim to use Tauri instead of Electron. PR for those curious is here: https://github.com/smolck/uivonim/pull/336

Of course, I'm biased, since I work on a GUI frontend to neovim written in electron (that I forked from a project that already used electron), but I have found that it's not as bad as people make it out to be, or at least that it doesn't have to be that bad. I would like to get rid of it though if I can, maybe by doing the rendering with wgpu-rs and GUI things with egui.

I came up with this idea one day as something I could add to uivonim and the result was kinda cool; just thought I'd clean it up a bit and share. Not sure if I'll ever end up adding this for-real, but it's at least a little fun to play with ;)

- 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.
