  "github_readme_excerpt": "# VV\n\nVV is a Neovim client for macOS. A pure, fast, minimalistic Vim experience with good macOS integration. Optimized for speed and nice font rendering.\n\n![VV screenshot](packages/electron/assets/screenshot.png)\n\n- Fast text render via WebGL.\n- OS integration: copy/paste, mouse, scroll.\n- Fullscreen support for native and simple (fast) mode.\n- All app settings configurable via Vimscript.\n- Command line launcher.\n- \u201cSave All\u201d dialog on quit and \u201cRefresh\u201d dialog on external changes.\n- Text zoom.\n\nVV is built on Electron. There are no barriers to porting it to Windows or Linux, or making plugins with Javascript, HTML, and CSS.\n\n## Installation\n\n### Install via Homebrew\n\nVV is available via Homebrew Cask:\n\n```\n$ brew install vv\n```\n\nNOTE: older versions of brew require a special command to install `vv`\n\n```\n$ brew cask install vv\n```\n\nIt will also install Neovim (if it is not installed) and command line launcher `vv`.\n\n### Download\n\nOr you can download the most recent release from the [Releases](https://github.com/vv-vim/vv/releases/latest) page.\n\nYou need Neovim to run VV. You can install it via Homebrew: `$ brew install neovim`. Or you can find Neovim installation instructions here: [https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Installing-Neovim](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Installing-Neovim). Neovim version 0.4.0 and higher is required.\n\n### Build manually\n\nYou can also build it manually. You will need [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) and [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/) installed.\n\n```\n$ git clone git@github.com:vv-vim/vv.git\n$ cd vv\n$ yarn\n$ yarn build:electron\n```\n\nThis will generate a VV.app binary in the dist directory. Copy VV.app to your /Applications folder and add the CLI launcher `vv` to your `/usr/local/bin`.\n\n## Command Line Launcher\n\nYou can use the `vv` command to run VV in a Terminal. Install it via the `VV \u2192 Command Line Launcher...` menu item. VV will add the command to your `/usr/local/bin` folder. If you prefer another place, you",
