Cannot open uivonim from the command-line with parameters about uivonim HOT 6 OPEN

This is going to be fairly important for me, because I frequently use gvim chat.md (or whatever) or occasionally gvim -d (diff mode). I really want to use a real neovim GUI on macOS and so far UIvonim is the best I’ve seen so far, but it’s still not quite usable as a replacement for MacVim.app / gvim.

Hmm so not totally sure how to go about fixing this, but threw together something real quick, mind giving it a test? https://github.com/smolck/uivonim/tree/fix-421

With that branch this works: ./dist/mac-arm64/uivonim.app/Contents/MacOS/uivonim path/to/whatever/file. Is that the sort of thing you're looking for? Not quite a self-installing script, but it does seem to do what you want?

It works reasonably well. It still outputs a lot of logs when run that way. Ideally things can work with open -a uivonim as well; I know that there’s ways to do this, but I’m not sure what would be.

Maybe could try adapting this cli wrapper from MacVim: https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim/blob/0b2587e10c63404503c43f9e47bfc574bc3a7a87/src/MacVim/mvim

+100 this. I've been using macvim for as long as I can remember, maybe 10+ years and this is the first alternative that makes me consider dropping macvim (and I've tried most/all of them). This is great.

Just for the sake of completeness -- if all you're looking for is "Macvim-but-with-Neovim", that is https://github.com/qvacua/vimr.

(Which is not as shiny as Uivonim, of course!)
