What is GNvim?
GNvim is a graphical user interface for the Neovim text editor written in the Go programming language. The goal of GNvim is to provide a simple yet customizable GUI for Neovim without adding too many dependencies.
Some key features and characteristics of GNvim include:
- Tabbed interface for opening multiple files/buffers
- Built-in file explorer pane for visually browsing the file system
- Theme support - comes bundled with a few color schemes and allows custom CSS styling
- Minimal set of dependencies - uses a small number of Go packages to keep the codebase simple
- Cross-platform support for Linux, macOS, and Windows
- Customizable through configuration file with many tweaking options
- Open source under the MIT license
Overall, GNvim aims to provide Neovim users a fast, native-feeling GUI option without being overly complex. Its goal is not to replicate all Vim features graphically, but rather enhance the base Neovim text editing experience with some helpful visual additions. The project is actively developed on GitHub.
