Neovim Qt is a lightweight cross-platform graphical front-end (GUI) for the Neovim text editor, written in C++ with Qt6. It also provides a client library for embedding Neovim in Qt applications.

Use cases

  • run neovim with a native gui window
  • use neovim on windows without a terminal
  • embed neovim in a qt application
  • get a lightweight neovim gui on linux
  • configure gui fonts and colors for neovim

When to choose

  • you want a native desktop GUI for Neovim on Windows, macOS, or Linux
  • you need a lightweight alternative to terminal-based Neovim
  • you want to embed Neovim in a Qt-based application

When to avoid

  • you prefer running Neovim inside a terminal
  • you need a GUI toolkit other than Qt
  • you want a fully self-contained editor rather than a Neovim front-end
