neovim-gtk

CI

GTK ui for neovim written in rust using gtk-rs bindings. With ligatures support. This project began as a fork of @daa84's neovim-gtk.

There are a very large number of improvements from @daa84's version, including:

  • Lots of bugfixes
  • We're fully ported to GTK4, and have a Snapshot based renderer instead of a cairo based renderer
  • Smooth resizing

Note that I haven't set up the wiki pages for this repo yet, so wiki links still go to daa84's wiki repo.

Or to some custom path:

make PREFIX=/some/custom/path install

Build prerequisites

Linux

First install the GTK development packages. On Debian/Ubuntu derivatives this can be done as follows:

apt install libgtk-4-dev

On Fedora:

dnf install atk-devel glib2-devel pango-devel gtk4-devel

Then install the latest rust compiler, best with the rustup tool. The build command:

cargo build --release

As of writing this (Dec 16, 2022) the packaged rust tools in Fedora also work for building.

Windows

Neovim-gtk can be compiled using MSYS2 GTK packages. In this case use 'windows-gnu' rust toolchain.

SET PKG_CONFIG_PATH=C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\pkgconfig
cargo build --release
