goneovim (pronounced like "go-neovim") is a Neovim GUI written in Go, using a [Qt binding for Go](https://github.com/therecipe/qt).
This repository forked from the original [Gonvim](https://github.com/dzhou121/gonvim) for the purpose of maintenance and enhancement.
## Why Neovim GUI
Traditionally, Neovim (and even Vim) has been optimized for working with Terminal, and some Terminal-based workflows cannot be achieved with a GUI.
Therefore, for some people, a GUI would be an unnecessary additional stuff.
On the other hand, in my opinion, there are some attractive features of GUI as follows.
* **More meta keys can be used**
* Since Neovim performs all of its operations with the keyboard, having more meta keys available is a simple advantage.
* **Terminal is also available in Neovim GUI**
* Neovim has an embedded terminal emulator that can be run in `:terminal`, so you can run basic terminal workflows using `:terminal` with `bash` or `zsh` in Neovim GUI. It is also possible to use remote control tools such as [nvr](https://github.com/mhinz/neovim-remote) to avoid nvim in nvim in Neovim GUI.
* **Experience the rich drawing expressions of GUI**
* For example, it is possible to scroll based on pixels, to set different font families and point sizes for each window.
If you are interested in these GUI attractions, try goneovim.
