The GTK-based GUI version of the Vim text editor, gVim, now has support in place for the modern GTK4 toolkit as an alternative to its long present GTK2/GTK3 support.
Going back to earlier this year was a [1]pull request for adding a GTK4 GUI back-end as an alternative to the existing and aging GTK2/GTK3 code. After weeks of work, this GTK4 support for the optional Vim GUI was merged.
[2]This commit landed the GTK4 toolkit support that can be enabled with the --enable-gui=gtk4 configuration option prior to compiling Vim. The configure script currently favors GTK3 over GTK4 if not explicitly set.
Interesting the commit confirms that the GTK4 port was co-authored in part by Anthrophic's Claude.
Look for this optional GTK4 support in the next Vim release.
