The following Swift packages can be used independently:\n\n* [NvimView](https://github.com/qvacua/vimr/tree/master/NvimView): SwiftPM module containing an NSView which bundles everything needed to embed Neovim in a Cocoa app, including the Neovim binary and runtime files.\n* [NvimApi](https://github.com/qvacua/vimr/tree/master/NvimApi): Synchronous and asynchronous API for Neovim.\n* [Commons](https://github.com/qvacua/vimr/tree/master/Commons): Common utilities and helpers used across the project.\n* [Tabs](https://github.com/qvacua/vimr/tree/master/Tabs): Tab bar component.\n* [Workspace](https://github.com/qvacua/vimr/tree/master/Workspace): Workspace management component.\n* [Ignore](https://github.com/qvacua/vimr/tree/maste",
