Neovide: More Than Just Visual Effects? Real Use Cases & Setup Tips
Have you wondered if Neovide is used only for it's animations, visual effects and smooth scrolling, or are there real use cases for it?
In this video, we go over a few things:
How to edit files with Neovide from LazyGit. This allows you to press `e` when in LazyGit and open Neovide so your current terminal is not affected or changed, you can also configure LazyGit to not wait on Neovide so you can press `e` on different files without needing to close Neovide
The default option when pressing `e` and running LazyGit inside Neovim is the `nvim-remote` which opens the edited file as a buffer in the same terminal session
How to enable or disable plugins in Neovide. This is useful because there are plugins that are not compatible with it, like for example `image.nvim` so if you don't disable it, every time you open neovim, you'll get a warning `.../lazy/image.nvim/lua/image/utils/term.lua:34: Failed to get terminal size`
How to open a file in Neovide when you double click on it when using Finder
Open Neovide with different configurations or distributions (I'm on macOS)
Change the Neovide cursor color
When pressing `gx` on a file path, the file is opened in Neovide
Possible `tmux` and `images` support for Neovide in the future?
