Oni Reviews and details

• Rethinking vim?

  Neovim is pushing it, kind of. And also this is cool - https://onivim.io/. Source: 10 months ago

• Is there a Neovim client which allows me to use VSCode extensions? I'm not talking about Neovim VSCode simulation, but something like Neovide.

  No, you can not use VSCode extensions in the NeoVim. But you can use NeoVim in VSCode as an extension. You also could use OniVim (https://onivim.io), which provides a vim-like experience in VSCode like app (which also supports VSCode extensions). But I believe the development of OniVim is stopped or really slowed down. Source: about 1 year ago

• Atom has been archived

  I'm a terminal guy but if you're looking for a GUI vim-like experience you might be interested in Onivim. Source: over 1 year ago

• VSCode-Neovim: Use embedded Neovim in VSCode without emulation

  Perhaps onivim would be a good VSCode alternative for you, I think they have a mode like the browser vim extensions that labels everything on screen with a key you can press instead of clicking. https://onivim.io/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• I just wanna get my work done.🤓

  The closest thing I've seen to a true Vim IDE is OniVim2, but sadly that project has stalled. Source: over 1 year ago

• Lapce

  Complaining about bugs in an alpha software makes no sens so I won't. But one thing makes me uncomfortable regardless of its early state: It's gigantic! It's a 55 MB executable. You could fit at least one hundred full blow almost self contained (CLI) text-editors with the feature-set of Lapce in that size… What it going on there? Does it bundle an operating system, or even a whole EMACS distribution in that... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Nova 9

  You might be interested in Onivim then (https://onivim.io/). - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• A brief reflection on Mac software stagnation

  Onivim (https://onivim.io) solved input latency for anyone that felt VSCode was too slow while keeping plugin compatibility. Sadly though the project stalled when the dev had to pay bills (https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues/3811). - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• I'm trying to use VSCode with just the keyboard. Is there an easier way to explore files without a mouse?

  Check out Onivim 2, might be the right tool for you as you can use all extensions from VSC. Source: about 2 years ago

• A good plain GUI for vim ?

  Maybe you can try something fresh like https://onivim.io/. Source: over 2 years ago

• I've just installed vim and for some reason it's all question marks, what am i supposed to do?

  OP, try out one of the neovim guis: https://github.com/equalsraf/neovim-qt, https://github.com/rohit-px2/nvui, https://onivim.io/ etc. Source: over 2 years ago

• Why is VIM so popular among programmers?

  That being said, you can certainly extend vim/neovim out with plugins to be competitive with an IDE if thats something people desire, or use a UI Frontend to it like Onivim. Source: almost 3 years ago

• How do I get the non-commercial oni2?

  Its on the release timeline (https://onivim.io/) for when we leave beta, so for now the best way is to build from source. Source: almost 3 years ago

• [Python?] [New to vim] Got everything okay until one point.

  Check out neovim. There are a bunch of frontends for it as well with full fledged neovim running under the hood. The most polished is https://onivim.io/ but there are other free alternatives as well. Source: about 3 years ago

• Rant: Neovim is less productive than VS Code

  I really think you should get into the onivim2 project. I really think it’s the future for this type of use case. I’ve been messing with the neovim extension on VSCode as of recently you could give that a shot as well. Source: about 3 years ago

• Reflections on Idea vs. vs Code

  There are several projects attempting to develop a native smart editor. For Mac users there is Nova (https://nova.app/) and for the Vim crowd there is Onivim (https://onivim.io/). I have used neither of them but I find them intriguing, especially when I wait for my VSCode cursor to catch up with my typing. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago
