Opening a new TUI window for each opened file #107

Closed nostdm closed 5 years ago

nostdm commented 5 years ago

Hello, I just found this project and it seems really interesting.

Whenever I run nvr file.txt it opens the file in an existing TUI interface, what I would like to happen is for nvr to spawn a new TUI but connect to the same nvim server, so that I can have multiple nvim windows open which are all connected to the same nvim server and share the same state. Is this possible with the current nvim TUI implementation to spawn a detached TUI process that talks to the same nvim server or is the nvim UI and server coupled together so that it can't be started separately?

That's not possible yet, but there's a GSoC proposal for this exact thing: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/GSoC-2019-Ideas#tui-terminal-ui-remote-attachment

But as far as I know, no one works at that project at the moment.

By the time this gets implemented, the use of nvr will probably be deprecated anyway. :)

Nevertheless, thanks for the proposal!
