Fixed Issue on Mac

Solution on related issue: https://github.com/neovide/neovide/issues/1982

Ive been Using Neovide for Rust Development

I've used it on all platforms , but mainly on my Mac M1

Common Issues that you guys will face

1. CMD + H , cant be bind on Mac if it is launch using neovide cli

Solution: create Alias neovide , paste it on your zshrc/bashrc

function neovide(){
    ARG="${1:-.}"
    CUR="$(pwd)"
    FILE="${CUR}/${ARG}"
    PATH=$(env) NEOVIDE_CWD=$(pwd) open -a Neovide.app --args $(pwd)
}

2. PATH and CWD is nil

This happens since Neovide runs on Sandbox on MacOS

The above snippets only fixes half of the problem.

CWD gets initialized is nil , you can check by running this

:lua print(vim.fn.getcwd())

So Most Plugins , Like Neo-Tree, Terminal etc that uses the vim.fn.getcwd() have issues your opening on the root folder

For us to fix that issue...

• prefix our command with Neovide.app with NEOVIDE_CWD , which we already did on neovide alias
• set our CWD on our Vim config

If using neovim with lua scripts, add the snippet on your initialization of the script , ie. lazy.lua

-- only set if NEOVIDE_CWD is set
if vim.fn.getenv("NEOVIDE_CWD") then
  vim.api.nvim_set_current_dir(vim.fn.getenv("NEOVIDE_CWD"))
end

For normal vim/nvim script

if !empty($NEOVIDE_CWD)
  " Change the current working directory to the value of NEOVIDE_CWD
  execute "cd" $NEOVIDE_CWD
endif

If your Rust users like me on mac, you can simple use my Nvim Configuration...

https://github.com/codeitlikemiley/nvim

That allows you to move quickly around panes, test and debug with Rust at ease...

Note all those Extra key bindings on rust only triggers if on rust project.

I think my config is 100% Better than with VSCODE with Rust :)

Hope you like it and Star thanks
