About:
VimR is a native macOS graphical user interface (GUI) wrapper for the Neovim editor, providing a modern, keyboard-centric editing experience. It integrates Neovim's powerful modal editing and Vimscript/Lua extensibility within a polished macOS application featuring native file browsers, window management, and visual customizations.
Key Features:
  • Native macOS GUI for Neovim
  • Keyboard-centric modal editing with mouse support
  • Integrated file browser and project drawer
  • Extensible via Neovim plugins and Vimscript/Lua
  • Native macOS features like tabs and full-screen support
Use Cases:
  • Developers seeking a powerful, Vim-like editor with a native macOS interface
  • Vim/Neovim users wanting improved file navigation and window management without leaving the terminal paradigm
Alternatives:
  • MacVim – A GUI for standard Vim (not Neovim), also native to macOS.
  • Neovide – A cross-platform, GPU-accelerated GUI for Neovim with different design goals.
