Does Neovide require all configuration to happen in init.lua?

[adrian5]

My nvim config is fairly modular and I'm importing most vim options into init.lua through a secondary file options.lua (require("options")). I noticed that e.g. listchars used default values in Neovide unless I set it in init.lua itself. Is this a known limitation?

No, it loads the init files exacly like regular terminal mode nvim. With the exception that a ginit.vim file is loaded before everything else, if present.

I have no idea why it's not working for you, it's working for me and a lot of other people.
