About:
VV is a lightweight, native macOS Neovim client that provides a graphical user interface for Neovim. It offers native UI elements like scrollbars and context menus while maintaining full Neovim functionality. The application focuses on performance and seamless integration with the macOS ecosystem.
Key Features:
  • Native macOS UI with native scrollbars and menus
  • GPU-accelerated rendering for smooth performance
  • True color and font ligature support
  • Native file drag-and-drop integration
  • System clipboard integration
Use Cases:
  • Using Neovim with a native macOS GUI experience
  • Developers who prefer native apps over terminal emulators
  • Users requiring better font rendering and ligature support
Alternatives:
  • Neovide – Cross-platform Neovim GUI with animations, heavier than VV
  • nvim-qt – Official Qt-based Neovim GUI, cross-platform
  • Alacritty + Neovim – Terminal-based approach, more lightweight but lacks native UI
