Can i use 'ginit.lua' to config my nvim-qt?

[xing-uestc]

it seems like that the lua files is not available for nvim-qt, but my old configuaration files are all written by lua. What should I do to next?

? init.lua is supported. What version of Nvim are you using with nvim-qt ?

Sounds like you have a 'runtimepath' configuration issue.

Short answer is no we do not plan to support a ginit.lua file. Lua support came after the UI, and ginit.vim was a legacy file from Vim so we never supported a ginit.lua file.

However you can configure the UI from your init.lua. For example here is my config to apply settings to nvim-qt only

-- Load UI settings when the UI attaches
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ "UIEnter" }, {
  callback = function()
	  local chanid = vim.v.event.chan
	  -- defer code here, otherwise get chan info will not return
	  -- the data we need to determine the UI
	  vim.defer_fn(function()
		  local name = vim.api.nvim_get_chan_info(chanid).client.name
		  --print('UI attached', name, chanid)
		  if name == 'nvim-qt' then
                          -- nvim-qt specific settings

			  -- Disable render attr
			  vim.fn.execute('GuiRenderFontAttr 0')
			  -- enable GUI clipboard 
			  vim.api.nvim_call_function('GuiClipboard', {})
		  end
	  end, 0)
  end
})

Of course you can also change that code to load a ginit.lua file.
