Everything is silky smooth, much smoother than in Kitty&amp;#x2F;Alacritty. And to disable those annoying animations, just put this in your config.&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;  vim.g.neovide_cursor_animation_length = 0
  vim.g.neovide_scroll_animation_length = 0&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>wadim</author><text>How do you handle multiple projects at the same time, with a tiling window manager?
The nice thing about the terminal is the possibility of having layouts, tabs and so on. Or using tmux&amp;#x2F;zellij with a terminal that doesn&amp;#x27;t support these more advanced features.</text></comment>

Especially if you make a mistake you&amp;#x27;ll see it much more clearly what it actually did. Also when making longer cursor jumps it is easier to see where it went.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m sure they will help a lot also when learning Vim for the first time.&lt;p&gt;But the be fair, the default animations are bit much but they can be toned down.</text></comment>
