Where to Find Neovide Documentation and Source Code

Updated

Neovide's documentation and source code are both reachable from its official site, neovide.dev. The docs live on that site and include a built-in search: press s or click the magnifying glass icon in the top left to open the search bar. The source code is linked from the same page, so you don't need to hunt through a separate repository listing.

Documentation on neovide.dev

The site hosts the project's documentation directly. Two entry points are worth knowing:

  • Search — press s anywhere on the site, or click the magnifying glass in the top left corner, to bring up the search bar. This is the fastest way to jump to a specific option or feature.
  • Feature and configuration pages — the site links out to a full list of available features and to a dedicated configuration section, which is where you'd look when you want to change how Neovide behaves rather than just confirm what it does.

Use the docs when you're installing Neovide, adjusting its settings, or checking whether a behavior is expected before you start digging through code.

Source Code

The source code is linked from the Neovide site itself. If you're reading the docs and want to see how something is implemented, follow that link rather than searching for a mirror — it points to the canonical repository.

Which One to Use

You want to… Go to
Look up a configuration option or feature Docs on neovide.dev (search with s)
Understand how something is implemented Source code, linked from the site
Install Neovide Docs — download links for macOS, Windows, and Linux are on the main page
Build from source or use a package manager Docs — the site notes both are supported

Practical Notes

  • Neovide is described as a simple, cross-platform graphical user interface for Neovim, and functionally it aims to act like the terminal UI, with some graphical improvements where possible. That matters for troubleshooting: if something behaves differently from terminal Neovim, it's worth checking the docs before assuming it's a bug.
  • The docs and source are complementary. Configuration questions are usually answered faster in the docs; behavior questions that the docs don't cover are better answered in the code.
  • If you're on the site and the search bar doesn't appear, confirm you're on neovide.dev rather than a third-party page — the s shortcut and magnifying glass are features of the official site.
