    For normal plugins like AuotoComplPop are also decent and provide a great beginner experience.

    For my auto-comepltion system I have been using AutoComplPop which is perfect for me. Basically all this does is open the completion menu when I start typing.

  • Using the Built-in Completion Menu?
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 31 Mar 2021
    I am currently trying to port something that I have used in vim for a very long time and love a lot over to emacs, but I am having a lot of trouble figuring out how. vim has, much like emacs, a built-in completion system which allows you to complete words using control + n/p. While researching what completion system I wanted in vim awhile ago I found a plugin called AutoCompPop which uses that built-in completion and simply opens up the built-in menu for navigating that completion every time you start typing. For me this is perfect, it allows me to have full extremely lightweight completion of everything in the current buffer without having to deal with a massive system like YouCompleteMe.

    True, though in principle you could make it "automatic" by using AutoComplPop.

  • Using SonarLint language server in Vim?

    Has anybody managed or got an idea how to make SonarLint Language Server work with e.g. vim-lsp?
  • Vim Golang syntax is ugly

    You need to configure a language server. For C++ it's a bit tricky, so good luck with Go. There are other plugins that provide semantic highlighting using LSP, for example https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp (I didn't try it, but it seems good).

    ALE can use LSP as well. And if you are using vim-lsp, you can use the same instance of server for both with vim-lsp-ale bridge plugin.
  • small vimrc and lsp?
    4 projects | /r/vim | 15 May 2023
    I feel the same way. Not a one-liner but the smallest config LSP plugin I've found is vim-lsp. It works in both Vim and Neovim.
  • Should I move to NeoVim?
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 25 Apr 2023
    The only major feature that Neovim still has is a built in LSP client. But I find the built in Neovim LSP client is unusably buggy, you're much better off using any of the other LSP plugins. What I use is vim-lsp, but I've tried all of the major lsp client, they are all significantly better than the built in Neovim LSP.

    As for install/configuration, all you need is the latest Vim, the plugins I mentioned, and that bit in your vimrc. You can do a bit better than that if you copy the entire config with mappings from the vim-lsp GitHub page.
  • How to improve deoplete and vim-lsp (pylsp /jedi-language-server)
    3 projects | /r/vim | 22 Mar 2023
    I have a problem with Deoplete and Vim-LSP completion (Python's Pylsp and Jedi-Language-Server). The suggestion is much less, and it also misses a lot of opportunities to suggest compared to Deoplete-Jedi, which literally defeats the former by a large margin. Is there a setting to make this duo works like deoplete with deoplete-jedi?
  • The Ruff python linter is insanely good

    - add the [prabirshrestha/vim-lsp](https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp) plugin and config to your `.vimrc` (note: `pylsp` is *not* necessary).
