NeoVim UI in the browser.
|
|
This is an experiment. Use at your own risk. |
You need a recent NeoVim (tested against 0.4.4),
launched via nvim --listen 127.0.0.1:7777 --headless
(If you’re suspicous you can omit the --headless but then the grid size will
be off)
A Clojure server connects to that address, and opens an http server to http://127.0.0.1:7778/
Open that page and you have a working NeoVim UI.
If things break, you can just refresh the page and reconnect to NeoVim. And things will break, see the TODO for what’s left to be done.
To launch the server and build the client you need shadow-cljs. It’s as easy as:
npx shadow-cljs watch app
But you need to connect via a REPL and start
the server via nvimgui.server/start-server
#TODO fix the above so it’s a single command
