vscode-neovim VS neovide

Since v1.0+ of this extension I have been constantly having issues with neovim's and VSCode's buffers got out of sync. I cannot reliably reproduce the issues however. There are a few similar reports, e.g. https://github.com/vscode-neovim/vscode-neovim/issues/1624. I've switched to other VIM extension (VSCodeVim) which I found more reliable, albeit less powerful.

You can have it both ways! Use neovim to handle key presses in VSCode, keep all the benefits of a text editor that (mostly) Just Works.

In insert mode I'd like to be able to hit escape and return to visual mode, but I have to hit escape twice if a suggestion popup is visible. Similar to this: vscode-neovim/vscode-neovim#677

https://github.com/vscode-neovim/vscode-neovim embeds nvim in vscode. I use it at work full-time.

This post is all over the place. What are you asking? What problem exactly did you have with the https://github.com/vscode-neovim/vscode-neovim (ensure that you did not install https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim , which people often confuse with the other).

Why not have both? https://github.com/vscode-neovim/vscode-neovim

I was using the VSCodeVim plugin, but it kept breaking. I now moved to the Neovim plugin and works great!

- 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.
