neovim-gtk

GTK ui for neovim written in rust using gtk-rs bindings.

Screenshot

By default gnome settings are used:

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name

To setup font add next line to ginit.vim

call rpcnotify(1, 'Gui', 'Font', 'DejaVu Sans Mono 12')

As this project uses gtk-rs, custom option by GtkApplication not supported yet. There is workaround to pass nvim execution path.

cargo run -- --nvim-bin-path=E:\Neovim\bin\nvim.exe

Install GTK development packages. Install latest rust compiler, better use rustup tool. Build command:

cargo build --release

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
