Is there no corresponding `nvim_copy`?

Re: Neovim v0.4.0
#132I want to take a moment to thank the Neovim authors, as a VIM user. Thanks to you, VIM has felt the pressure and greatly improved, including the vim 8 async plugin feature (which has now trickled-down in all distros). I can now use coc.nvim and ccls to have an IDE-like experience inside vim, which really helps reducing further the write-compile-test-fix loop.
Why are you still using VIM if you like Neovim's features? (this is not a rhetorical question)

I just tried this. I get rendering artifacts when scrolling. BUT! The scroll speed is absolutely wonderful. I've tried all the UIs and always find myself going back to the terminal, but this is something else. Although I have to say fvim looks tempting as well and vimr(I'm not on MacOS anymore). For those people mocking vim users and bragging about their IDE's. With languageserver and the other kind of refactoring da…

The option to use proportional fonts is a very rare feature in vim-like text editors (the only other way I know of is to use terminal vim in mlterm), so for people who want this the screenshot is good advertisement.
In fact, after reading you comment, I promptly startet to install it (still compiling as I type this). My use-case is creative writing: I'm very used to vim keybindings from coding, but prefer to have a variable-width fonts for writing.

I am happy with Neovim in a terminal too. But I wanted I wanted it running as a separate application that I could launch and switch to, so I downloaded the iTerm2 source code and changed the icon and application name and created a profile that just runs Neovim. I find this works well, but maybe someone knows a simpler way, or a generic way, to do this on OS X?
I think you can use an applescript for that. I think you can compile the applescript to a .app and then run it. But it's been a while since I was in OSX

I use LanguageClient-neovim[0] with pyls[1], tests are run using `:make` which populates the quickfix list with errors. I also heavily use the location list which gets populated with errors and warnings etc. automatically by LanguageClient-neovim. All of this is accessible through convenient keybindings. Full python setup here: https://github.com/L0stLink/anvil Status bar is lightline[2] with a custom theme, which I…
Thanks for sharing your config files.
no problem :)

Never attempted to make the move (friction, sizeable vimrc). I've mostly been using the distro builds, which for neovim often meant an outdated version.
I can also admit that I've benefited from the project, even if I've never used it. Like everyone using Firefox is currently benefiting from WebRender, despite never moving to Servo.
We often find criticisms of forks in OSS (waste of resource, we should work together through a common goal), but the truth is that this flawed mechanism allows for innovation and experimentation. Which is also why the BigCos that ship different competing products (say, messaging apps), are often the most innovative because it prevents (some kind of) in-fighting and cookie licking.

#137I'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/…
I'm using vimr [1] and never had issues with it 1: https://github.com/qvacua/vimr
I don't use vimr that heavily, but a few times now I've seen it chewing on the CPU when I've left it open in the background. I do use neovim heavily and haven't seen that.

I have a reasonably large .vimrc, but I only had to change one line to switch to Neovim.
All the plugins (~10) worked too.

fvim author here.
The font in the screenshot is `Iosevka Slab` which _is_ monospace -- `fvim` currently syncs with the neovim grid system and doesn't support proportional fonts well.
Sorry about the confusion -- I think you've already discovered that (after 46 minutes)!
