vim-quickui VS goneovim

I agree with the article. Turbo Pascal was terrific. There is some kind of psychological thing that has me using neovim in a terminal all the time for many years.

I guess it's convenient for ssh. But I miss the conveniences of Borland IDEs. Even last night I was working on a web application and was tempted to add a menu at the top of the page, remembering how useful they were back in Turbo Pascal and such.

I did a Google search and found this https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui

skywind3000/vim-quickui

You can see this project to base yourself: https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui

maybe not directly related to the question, this project makes vim look like TurboC, the author mentions, that he has configuration that does so. https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui

would love to see - cascading menu - ability to click in menu like in https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui/

Are you familiar with https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui ? Maybe you will find some inspiration there.

I assume you mean something similar to the GUI menubar in emacs? Currently this isn't possible in rust, which is what we use, but its somewhat possible within vim as well (https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui). Considering vim is very keyboard centric, a gui menu doesn't appeal to me much

I guess he was using this plugin: https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui

Maybe this will help a bit, this person made a lot of really cool Vim UI components, like a Preview window. https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui#preview-window

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.
