Wraps the neovim binary in a separate gnome-terminal session, making it possible to use it as a regular application (it is tracked correctly by the DE, it can be associated to filetypes, etc.)
- neovim
- gnome-terminal >= 3.16 (uses gnome-terminal-server)
- python-dbus
On Arch, install neovim-gnome-terminal-wrapper from the AUR.
Manually:
cp nvim-wrapper /usr/bin/nvim-wrapper
cp neovim.desktop /usr/share/applications/neovim.desktop
cp neovim.svg /usr/share/icons/neovim.svg
Some users have experienced trouble running nvim-wrapper when inside a virtual environment created by e.g. virtualenv, conda or similar. One workaround is to point the nvim-wrapper script directly to the right (system) python3 executable, i.e. change:
#! /usr/bin/env python3
into:
#! /usr/bin/python3
After this, make sure the neovim python package is installed from the correct package manager, e.g. in Ubuntu:
/usr/bin/pip3 install --user neovim
