kui.nvim v0.11.0

kui.nvim

This project is a neovim UI framework, aiming to use the Kitty graphics protocol to build complex graphical interfaces. This depends on the user having a terminal with support for the kitty graphics protocol as well as libcairo installed.

See kirby.nvim for a more complex example.

See https://github.com/romgrk/kui-demo.nvim for a template showing how to implement the demo above.

• Graphics (lines, rects, ovals, paths)
• Basic text (size, family, weight, color)
• Advanced text (highlighted text (think code syntax), proper layout & rendering)
