nvim-pygtk3

PyGTK3 frontend to Neovim with some visual GUI elements.

• Provides GTK's clipboard (no need for xclip/xsel)
• Buffers on header bar
• GUI Tabs
• Overlay scrollbars
• Applies GTK's light/dark themes according to &bg
• Applies font from :GuiFont, or from GSettings' org.gnome.desktop.interface:monospace-font-name
• Customizable with Python scripts

Preview

Installation

Requirements:

• python 3.6+
• python-setuptools (make)
• python-neovim
• python-gobject
• vte3

Per-user:

$ python setup.py install --user --root=/

System-wide:

$ sudo python setup.py install --root=/

Python scripts

Scripts in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim_pygtk3/*.py are exec'd at startup, exposing the following globals:

• connect: Utility wrapper to connect GObject signals.
• window: The GTK top-level window. Docs
  • window.terminal: The VTE terminal that hosts neovim. Docs
  • window.switcher: The GtkStackSwitcher that displays buffers. Docs
  • window.notebook: The GtkNotebook that displays tabs. Docs
  • window.viewport: The GtkViewport that holds the terminal. Docs

The window object has the following additional signals:

• nvim-setup: Emitted when neovim has started.
• nvim-notify: Emitted when neovim has notified the GUI.
• nvim-request: Emitted when neovim has requested the GUI.

Example script ~/.config/nvim_pygtk3/a.py:

@connect(window, 'nvim-setup')
def a(nvim):
    nvim.command(f'call rpcnotify({nvim.channel_id}, "hello", "world")')

@connect(window, 'nvim-notify')
def b(nvim, event, args):
    if event == 'hello':
        print('hello', args)

@connect(window.terminal, 'cursor-moved')
def c():
    print('cursor moved!')

nvim-pygtk3's Issues

Shebang crashes over virtualenv's

nvim-pygtk3/nvim-pygtk3

Line 1 in 4878725

#!/usr/bin/env python3

breaks requirements whithin virtualenvs:

No module named gi

The best solution is make Makefile replace the first line with detected python.

Please add support to setting guifont from nvim/init.vim

Please add support to set guifont command. I usually use for programming a different font than I use on terminals or the system itself.

Installation errors: 'invalid syntax'

Hi!
I just found your project and tried installing nvim-gtk3. However I'm getting the following errors when I try to do the installation method provided in the Readme.md:

Any ideas what to do about that?

Thanks for helping,

can't click on buflist or tabs in the top window - fedora 25 (wayland)

On my machine, i can see all the buffest in the window titlebar (and the tab interface draws as expected).

however neither of them are clickable to actually change tabs / buffers - is this still WIP?

doesn't respect background from config file

Great project,

while using it I discovered that the gui doesn't respect the background I set in the config files.
In both ginit.vim and init.vim I set:

set background=dark
set bg=dark

but the gui starts always with light bg! (anyway I think it should be enough to set it in ginit.vim)

If once started I set it manually :set bg=dark it switches to dark bg as expected.

:tabnext and :tabprevious don't do anything

:tabnew works fine however calling either :tabnext or :tabprevious doesn't do anything.

Misleading dialog with nvim-pygtk3

I can not distinguish between neovim and nvim-pygtk in KDE "select application" dialog.

White frame around terminal

There is a white frame around the Vte widget, which seems made of two part:

1. A white 1px frame border that is always there
2. A variable right and bottom border that grows/shrinks as the window is resized (the bottom border also happens with Gvim), the border becoming 0px when the width/height is a multiple of a character width/height.

Changing the font in nvim-pygtk3

Hi!

First, congratulations! Very nice app 👍

I'm wondering if it is possible to change the default font of this app.

Thanks,
Ronan

Set window default size (or save last size before closing)

Hi!

Very nice GUI.

But I can't set the default size of the window... It's very little after startup.
I'm using xfce, and I've searched an option in dconf to globally set windows defaults size, but did not find one.

Thanks in advance!

Support for gui themes

Please apply theme colors from guibg and guifg

send commands to nvim

Hi,

Is there a way to send command line arguments to nvim (I'd like to send commands such as -c <command>)?

Thanks.
