vimr

I sure hope mainline Vim isn't dead. I keep trying NeoVim but I prefer using Vim in a GUI and no NeoVim GUI I've found has the level of polish that MacVim [1] has. VimR [2] comes close but keep finding myself going back to MacVim. [1] https://macvim.org/ [2] https://github.com/qvacua/vimr

For the commenters here: do we have something like VimR [1] for OSes other than the Mac that provides a file explorer sidebar with smaller font size (probably sans)? [1]: https://github.com/qvacua/vimr

Have you tried VimR — Neovim GUI for macOS? https://github.com/qvacua/vimr

>None of the ones that support macOS are good, and all of them that don’t have explicit macOS support are all awful. VimR is very good; I've been using it before it started using Neovim as the core [1]. [1]: https://github.com/qvacua/vimr

Great comment, I’ll add there’s a MacVim-like GUI wrapper but for Neovim called VimR that i really like. https://github.com/qvacua/vimr

I’ve used a few of the Neovim GUIs; they each have a different take on UI/UX for a Neovim GUI. I’ve been using VimR the longest, which is a Mac-native GUI for Neovim: https://github.com/qvacua/vimr

Which discontinued Neovim GUI do you mean? As far as I know, while there are lots of discontinued ones, there are also several actives ones, see [1]. The "Activity" column in the linked table doesn't always show the correct age, e.g. vimr [2] is at least three years old.

You can give VimR[0] a try, I don't know what mouse features you use on MacVim, but that was the most pleasing GUI version of vim/neovim I've used. [0]: https://github.com/qvacua/vimr

I agree on the graphics part. I've tried doom emacs for the graphics, but it's not quite the same thing. On Mac, though, vimr[0] had a nice UI for neovim. On linux I'm yet to find a neovim GUI I'm happy with. [0]: https://github.com/qvacua/vimr

VimR [0] is a nice OSX GUI for Neovim. FireNvim [1] is a browser plugin which embeds a Neovim editor window in HTML textareas [0] https://github.com/qvacua/vimr [1] https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim

Nice, but this doesn't go far enough imo. I love emacs but keep using Sublime on a daily basis because it has real, native[0] mouse handling and UI. My dream editor would be a Sublime UI on top of embedded emacs. That means: - Native mouse selection of text, proper copy/paste, ideally with a "narrow caret" instead of block cursor everywhere - Native graphical file tree with drag and drop - Native tabs with pretty drag and drop - Pixel-fine resizing of panes - Pixel-fine scrolling!! [0]: Everywhere I say "native" above, I don't really care if it's GTK or electron (provided it's snappy) or whatever. I mean the nebulous feeling of having text areas work like every other text area on my desktop. VimR (https://github.com/qvacua/vimr) on mac was the closest to this I ever got, and I love that editor, but I'm not on macOS anymore. edit: Oh g---

If you're looking for something like this with vim bindings and functionality, I really like VimR https://github.com/qvacua/vimr
