  • frogmouth

    A Markdown browser for your terminal

  • No, since Vim uses a TUI and Markdown doesn't only display text. You could use something like Obsidian, which can display live previews of Markdown files side-by-side with the raw text and has support for a subset of Vim keybindings. Or use a terminal multiplexer like Tmux and open a split with a preview with something like Frogmouth (your preview will still be in a TUI but it would look nicer than the source file). Emacs might also have something that does what you are looking for (when combined with evil-mode if you want to preserve Vim keybindings) but I haven't looked into it.
