  • neovim

    Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability

  • It is possible with https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/13504 , but as it hasn't been merged yet there aren't any UIs taking advantage of it (except one that I built in order to play around with that PR: https://github.com/glacambre/nwin ).

  • nwin

    N vim win! Neovim UI designed for Sway/i3.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • neovim-pytc-example

    Neovim terminal client implemented in Python

  • Yes, doing that is possible, you just need to write your own terminal UI (you could even fork pytc to get started) and then add support for the ext-win extension.

  • neovide

    No Nonsense Neovim Client in Rust

  • Well I think quite the opposite, terminals are very bad and have been holding us back for far too long. Neovim GUIs can express arbitrary keypresses (e.g. ) that terminals can't, can have better latency than terminals, can do advanced visual tricks like smooth scrolling (Neovide supports that for example), etc... . People often say that the advantage of TUIs is that they're usable over SSH but actually Neovim GUIs are usable over SSH too (Goneovim even has a neat --ssh= option that lets you easily do that). Neovim GUIs really look like they're the future to me! :)

  • goneovim

    A GUI frontend for neovim.

  • neovim-remote

    :ok_hand: Support for --remote and friends.

  • What you’re trying to do is extremely complex and probably impossible (maybe with neovim-remote but I would imagine that tmux basically fits your use case, is there a specific reason why you only want to see buffer x on monitor 1 and not buffer x and y?
