glrnvim wraps nvim with your favourite terminal into a standalone, non-fancy but daily-usable Neovim GUI.
glrnvim offers hardware acceleration from the GPU. It combines OpenGL, Rust and NeoVIM together. glrnvim uses set termguicolors to achieve an easy and better color scheme support.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports terminals including gnome-terminal, kitty and urxvt. kitty also offers GPU acceleration.
- Fast in operation.
- The program is written in Rust, a very fast system language.
- Cross-platform software – runs in Linux, macOS, and Windows.
