# Neovide
|
|
This is a simple graphical user interface for Neovim. Where possible there are some graphical improvements, but it should act
|
|
functionally like the terminal UI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
Should be a standard full features Neovim GUI. Beyond that there are some visual nicities:
|
|
|
|
### Ligatures
|
|
|
|
Supports ligatures and full Harbuzz backed font rendering.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Animated Cursor
|
|
|
|
Cursor animates into position with a smear effect to improve tracking of cursor position.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Emoji Support
|
|
|
|
Font fallback supports rendering of emoji not contained in the configured font.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### More to Come
|
|
|
|
I've got more ideas for simple unobtrusive improvements. More to come.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
Building instructions are somewhat limited at the moment. All the libraries I use are cross platform and should have
|
|
support for Windows Mac and Linux. The rendering however is Vulcan based, so driver support for vulcan will be
|
|
necessary. On Windows this should be enabled by default if you have a relatively recent system.
|
|
|
|
Building requires a modern copy of Rust and should be as simple as running `cargo build --release` and running the
|
|
resulting binary in `targets/release`.
|
|
|
|
Better support and prebuilt binaries for non windows platforms is planned.
