how to make --wsl launch lunarvim and not just plain nvim

Hi

I want to use fvim as the gui for nvim on wsl. I see I can start fvim like this

fvim --wsl

and it works fine, but I use lunarvim as my preferred setup. As is, fvim is starting nvim without lvim’s configuration.

FYI, lvim is just launching this:

export LUNARVIM_CONFIG_DIR="${LUNARVIM_CONFIG_DIR:-/home/jm/.config/lvim}"
export LUNARVIM_RUNTIME_DIR="${LUNARVIM_RUNTIME_DIR:-/home/jm/.local/share/lunarvim}"

exec nvim -u "$LUNARVIM_RUNTIME_DIR/lvim/init.lua" "$@"

Is there a way to make fvim start lvim in wsl instead of plain nvim?

I think I can achieve something similar like this:

SET NVIMSOCKET=66555
start /b cmd /c wsl lvim --listen "127.0.0.1:%NVIMSOCKET%" --headless
start C:\tools\fvim\fvim.exe --nvr 127.0.0.1:%NVIMSOCKET%

but I prefer to double check here if there is a better/cleaner way.

Thanks for this project!!

Sure, I will keep an eye on this. Good luck if your hardware mishap!

Hi! I found a little workaround for starting Lunarvim with fvim:

• add the environment variables for Lunarvim to your ~/.bashrc:

export LUNARVIM_RUNTIME_DIR=“${LUNARVIM_RUNTIME_DIR:-”/home/user/.local/share/lunarvim"}" export LUNARVIM_CONFIG_DIR=“${LUNARVIM_CONFIG_DIR:-”/home/user/.config/lvim"}" export LUNARVIM_CACHE_DIR=“${LUNARVIM_CACHE_DIR:-”/home/user/.cache/lvim"}"

• then start Fvim with the following command line: .\FVim.exe --wsl -u /home/user/.local/share/lunarvim/lvim/init.lua
• in config.lua you can then add the configuration for fvim:

if vim.g.fvim_loaded then vim.cmd [[set guifont=FiraCode\ Nerd\ Font:h14]] vim.cmd [[FVimCursorSmoothMove v:true]] vim.cmd [[FVimCursorSmoothBlink v:true]] vim.cmd [[FVimCustomTitleBar v:true ]] vim.cmd [[FVimFontAutoSnap v:true]] vim.cmd [[FVimUIPopupMenu v:true]] vim.cmd [[FVimUIWildMenu v:true]] – Ctrl-ScrollWheel for zooming in/out – nnoremap <silent> <C-ScrollWheelUp> :set guifont=+<CR> – nnoremap <silent> <C-ScrollWheelDown> :set guifont=-<CR> – nnoremap <A-CR> :FVimToggleFullScreen<CR> end

Drawback is, that Telescope based menus aren’t working at all. Therefore, Lunarvim still isn’t usable with Fvim, but this might be the next step in the right direction.

edit:

Drawback is, that Telescope based menus aren’t working at all.

That is not correct! The dashboard menus are not working! If you call telescope directly with e.g. :Telescope projects, then all works as expected!

edit 2: :Telescope projects does not work within the dashboard! You must have a source file open in the editor! Therefore you can open config.lua with “Configuration” and then everything is working as expected.
