About Neovide
Neovide is a graphical front end for Neovim. It aims to behave like Neovim's terminal interface, so existing configuration and plugins keep working, while adding graphical improvements such as smooth scrolling and cursor animations.
Builds are provided for macOS, Windows and Linux (as an AppImage), and it can also be installed through package managers or built from source. It suits Neovim users who want a standalone window instead of running the editor in a terminal.
Strengths
- Works with an existing Neovim configuration
- Smooth animations and graphical polish

- Requires Neovim and familiarity with it
