Nvy

Nvy is a minimal Neovim client for Windows written in C++. It uses DirectWrite to shape and render the grid cells and text.
Since Nvy is just a front-end for Neovim, installing Neovim is required to use Nvy, preferably the latest nightly version from here.

Configuration

Nvy sets the global vim variable g:nvy = 1 in case you want to specialize your init.vim while using Nvy.

Fonts can be changed by setting the guifont in init.vim, for example: set guifont=Fira\ Code:h24.
Note: you have to specify the font size, e.g. set guifont=Fira\ Code won't work.
A fallback font can be specified by appending it, e.g. set guifont=Fira\ Code:h24:Consolas to set Consolas as the fallback font.

Nvy can be started with the following flags:

--maximize to start in maximized
--fullscreen to start in fullscreen
--position=<x>,<y> to start with a given position, e.g. --position=500,200
--geometry=<cols>x<rows> to start with a given number of rows and columns, e.g. --geometry=80x25
--disable-ligatures to disable font ligatures
--disable-fullscreen to disable toggling fullscreen with Alt+Enter
--linespace-factor=<float> to scale the line spacing by a floating point factor, e.g. --linespace-factor=1.2

Extra Features

You can use Alt+Enter to toggle fullscreen
You can use Ctrl+Mousewheel to zoom
You can drag files onto Nvy to open them (:e)
Dragging files while holding Ctrl opens them in a new window (:new)
