To maximize the chance to successfully install neovim-qt, follow the following steps.

1. git clone the neovim-qt source code 5668445 (v0.2.16.1). I tried to download the code directly from the website, but am having issue with the msgpack
2. install a fresh environment with qt-5.12. The version v0.2.16.1 seems to require qt-5.12 and does not work with qt-5.15. Installing qt-5.12 leads to uncompatible packages. I've also spend sometime trying to add c++ support to the building process which doesn't work
3. when activate the environment, make sure to start from an empty environment - not acitivating from a existing environment

Inside neovim

set guifont=* # list all guifont

Some of the plugins will need nerd fonts. To install a patched font, follow the Option 3 and Option 5. Make sure git version is high enough. An example to install Meslo font in option 5:

git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse [email protected]:ryanoasis/nerd-fonts
cd nerd-fonts
git sparse-checkout add patched-fonts/BitstreamVeraSansMono
./install.sh BitstreamVeraSansMono

We can also preview the fonts

Method 1: Put nvim-qt into Application System Preference -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> App Shortcuts Click +, add nvim-qt, and then modify the menu shortcut (Hide nvim-qt)

Method 2: Install hammerspoon

Overwrite the global shortcuts

hs.hotkey.bind("cmd", 'h', function()
        hs.eventtap.keyStroke({"ctrl"}, "w", 0)
        hs.timer.usleep(100000)
        hs.eventtap.keyStroke({}, "h", 0)
end)

To map command + shift + j, we need to write in the mac system

neovim doesn't provide clipboard support. need to install xclip locally See the issue and the installation

We have the following convention: when we focus on a terminal buffer, the terminal buffer will automatically change into terminal mode. When we focus on another buffer, the terminal buffer will be in insert mode

Do not leave on mouse click

First step, use lazy for plugin management. Some notes: if we set opt ={} inside the lazy configuration, lazy will automaticallycall the plugin setup

To run the lua command in vimscript, call
