Nwin

This is an experimental Neovim UI that creates a new OS window for each Neovim window, all backed by the same neovim server. This enables performing window management using i3/sway's regular window-management features.

Why use this

If you don't care about controlling neovim windows from the comfort of Sway, there is absolutely no reason. Neovim-qt, Goneovim and Neovide are all much more polished.

Dependencies

• The ext-win branch of my neovim fork (make sure it's compiled and first in your path!).
• SDL and its ttf library (sudo apt install libsdl2 libsdl2-ttf)
• The font NotoSansMono-Regular.ttf in $HOME/downloads/NotoSansMono (yes, really).
• A very strong stomach if you're going to look at the code.
