Unable to config neovim-qt

[Cruising0904]

In neovim I put gui font it works though I can't configure from ginit.vim in ginit.vim it gives error like above 'not an editor blah blah' in neovim-qt I want to config background transparent

I have looked through docs and issues seems like it does not recognize ginit.vim on my machine.

A few comments, and things to try...

You don't need to include the : in ginit.vim.

Check if :GuiWindowOpacity 0.9 works when run from neovim-qt manually.

Ensure the function GuiWindowOpacity exists in the file /usr/share/nvim-qt/runtime/plugin/nvim_gui_shim.vim.

Ensure ginit.vim is located at ~/.config/nvim/ginit.vim.

Try temporarily removing your dotfiles symlink.

If it still doesn't work after all of the above, let me know and we can debug further.

I am using lazyvim for my config when I launch nvim-qt it gives error first picture When I remove my dotfiles does not complain though hard to tell if the option is affected, seems like nothing happens

I switched to lazy yesterday and lo and behold, I have the same issue. :100: happy to blame lazy, but as it is popular, it might be worth getting to the bottom of this. As usual, I am happy to test things.

The commands that do not work are:

√ ; rg Gui ~/.config/nvim/ginit.vim
GuiFont! PragmataProMonoLiga Nerd Font:h8
GuiTabline 0
GuiPopupmenu 0
GuiRenderLigature 1

I do not have the shim installed…

I checked lazy and found this issue, which describes the problem and solution: install the shim.

I added "equalsraf/neovim-gui-shim" to the list of plugins and now everything is fine.
