Multi-grid support

Open Lyude opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Eventually, I'd like to have us have full support for using multiple UI grids for a number of reasons

  • I have nostalgia for vim-X11…
  • This would potentially be a pretty significant performance improvement in situations with lots of split windows open, as GTK+ should be able to handle full NvimViewport redraws per-grid and optimize the dirty regions much more optimally with multiple NvimViewport widgets as opposed to one.
  • The potential (I think?) for more fine-tuned control over the size of split windows, and make things nice like Tilix. For example:
    • The ability to temporarily "maximize" a split window without affecting the size of other buffers
    • The ability to detach buffers into separate windows, which would also be a pretty big improvement for multi-monitor setups
