I'll just leave a shameless plug for my neovim GUI project here: https://github.com/vhakulinen/gnvim . It has a WIP PR[1] for implementing multigrid support, which would allow features such as scrollbars. There are many other GUIs too, such as oni/oni2, gonvim, neovim-gtk and neovim-qt. Extensive list can be found here: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Related-projects#gui 1: https://github.com/vhakulinen/gnvim/…

Both neovim-gtk & gnvim are great but don't integrate nicely with standard ctrl + c, ctrl + v actions which is super frustrating. VSCode with vim plugin handles this well with the Use Ctrl Keys option set. If you're in insert mode, ctrl + v will paste, otherwise ctrl + v will start visual mode. If you are selecting text, ctrl + c will copy.
You can create mappings for that. Adding a bazillion one-off options like "Use Ctrl Keys" to avoid creating mappings, defeats the purpose of using vim, since creating mappings is the bare minimum way to configure it. (But Vim did so anyways for Windows, in the form of the "mswin.vim" plugin, which is enabled by default, causing confusion for users expecting vim to behave like vim.)

I'm using vimr [1] and never had issues with it 1: https://github.com/qvacua/vimr

Floating windows: - Are real windows showing real buffers. No shortcuts, hacks, or compromises. - Can be (re)positioned, anchored, or "external" (if supported by the UI). - Support all features and API of normal windows, plus more. Screenshot showing floating window with 'winblend': https://twitter.com/Neovim/status/1145446583573594112 Yes, that screenshot shows Nvim in a terminal. The 'winblend' feature works in all…
Just to make sure I understand correctly, that floating window is entirely within neovim (i.e. it isn't a separate window as far as your window manager is concerned)? And if that's correct, does this mean that it would work if you SSHed into a server?

I wouldn't even know where to begin to approach these mappings as they are highly context dependent. If it is possible with just normal vim mappings then that'd be excellent.

The only reason Neovim project exists in the first place is to act as a safeguard against the bus factor issues that might arise in the Vim proper.

Yes, neovim is compositing the windows inside the text UI in a terminal.
Though the idea is just pretty damn cool in general so I can't get too grumpy about it.
> nvim_open_win: create floating windows (and external, for supporting UIs) I've been running 0.4.0 since it came out for this feature. Also I recommend you check out coc.vim for the best completer. It uses the same language server protocol that VS Code uses (and many of the plugins for coc.vim are forked fr VS Code plugins)
