What's Changed

The main highlights are:

  • Improved and more configurable font rendering, see neovide_text_contrast and neovide_text_gamma
  • D3D for smoother rendering on Windows
  • Fully working smooth scrolling in Windows with borders and highlights
  • Better stability compared to 0.12.x

Breaking changes

  • Neovim 0.10.0 is now required
  • The font size in config.toml is now specified in points instead of pixels, to match the behaviour of guifont and most other software
  • The macOS option neovide_input_macos_alt_is_meta has been renamed to neovide_input_macos_option_key_is_meta and instead of true/false it can now be set to only_left, only_right, both or none
  • The font sizes are now slightly different and matches that set in most other programs due to the fractional font support.
  • The --fork option has been reversed, and --no-fork is now the default. If the old behaviour is desired, you can set the environment variable NEOVIDE_FORK=1
  • Closing the Window when using remote connections now also exits Neovim. If you want to keep the remote instance running, you can detach using :call chanclose(g:neovide_channel_id)

Known issues

  • Neovide will hang on some Windows systems. This has turned out to be a very tricky bug to track down, since it only occurs on a few systems. See #2463 for more information. Any help debugging this is highly appreciated.

0.11.1

This release is essentially a tribute to the glorious work performed by Bram Moolenaar, who passed away on the 3rd of August 2023. One of the many insanely cool things he did was also supporting charity, additionally making Vim charityware, showing a message to help poor children in Uganda on startup if no file was opened. This intro screen was previously lost in Neovide due to architectural differences between the TUI and Neovide, but now in his spirit it is properly displayed in Neovide as well.

First of all, we'd like to formally and enthusiastically thank the winit team over at https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit for developing, providing and stabilizing a new, neat and nice keyboard API over the course of several years. Without them and their monstrous efforts, Neovide would have its Wayland support still broken and subject to even more input issues.

Breaking Changes

  • The environment variable WINIT_UNIX_BACKEND=x11 is no longer supported. It's preferred to run in native Wayland. But if you absolutely want to run in XWayland, you can run env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY neovide instead.
  • The keyboard mappings can work slightly differently, and due to the issues on macOS, you might want to stay on an older release if those cause problems for you.
    • CMD + SHIFT works as CMD only
    • fails to interprets in Macos. I set neovide_input_macos_alt_is_meta
    • Make sure that you map the actual character produced and don't include shift in your mappings. There are two exceptions to this:
      • Mappings of special keys like <Space>, <Enter>, <Tab>, <F1> and so on. You can use <S-Space> to map shift combined with space.
      • Mappings involving CTRL and normal alphabetic characters, due to the way Neovim deals with them:

        CTRL-{char} {char} typed as a control character; that is, typing {char}
        while holding the CTRL key down. The case of {char} is
        ignored; thus CTRL-A and CTRL-a are equivalent. But in
        some terminals and environments, using the SHIFT key will
        produce a distinct code (e.g. CTRL-SHIFT-a); in these
        environments using the SHIFT key will not trigger commands
        such as CTRL-A.

Changes

Breaking

  • pumblend and winblend are respected now, see the FAQ for help on setting them. By default there's no transparency anymore due to the defaults of those being fully opaque. Added in #1199
  • (Linux) X11 and RPC clipboard mechanisms had another round of fixes again. If an older instance of Neovide has been attached to a NeoVim session and a new instance with this version connects, there be flames. Fix is to restart the NeoVim session. Added in #1540
  • Parsing of environment variables is so strict that it only accepts the value true as true now. This was not intended and will be fixed in the next release (NOT 0.13).
