Hey, Onivim contributor here. Thanks for the feedback! I will mention that syntax highlighting fixes are something we’re gonna be focusing on in the coming weeks/months so if you haven’t already, feel free to file an issue on GitHub (or comment on one that looks similar)!

Onivim looks great! Does it/will it support remote development like VSCode? I do all my development on a virtual machine. I love everything about VSCode except for the vim plugin.
(Another dev here!)

Its a workflow we are looking into supporting, but its difficult. VSCode has extensions that are licenesed in a different way to the rest, which includes all the remote development ones (WSL/SSH/Docker).

Their license can be found on the marketplace, but broadly they can "only be used with Visual Studio Family products" (or something of similar wording, i.e. Code only, some are VS only). They are also fully closed source as well, the GH repos are just for issues.

So we'd like to support that sort of workflow, but it will mean more work on our end since we can't use that existing work due to the license.
