Nvim-R VS ncm2

If you do a lot of R coding, then a package more specific to R, and more fully featured is Nvim-R.

The whole reason I ended up going this route was also sort of data-science related: there’s a really spectacular R plugin for Vim, which I wanted to recapitulate as best I could when using python: https://github.com/jalvesaq/Nvim-R

I am slowly getting into using neovim. I am now trying to setup my R programming environment. I have successfully installed Nvim-R with Packer (https://github.com/jalvesaq/Nvim-R). Now, I would like to use the radian console (https://github.com/randy3k/radian/blob/master/README.md#nvim-r-support). In the documentation, it is said to put this in the config file:

But just wondering if people have tried using it with the Nvim-R plugin? I'm not sure it is worth the effort for me looking through the steps needed. Also, do I need to switch my init.vim/vimrc to lua? Perspectives appreciated!

However, there doesn't seem to be much available support yet for Quarto editing. The only plugin I could find is limited to syntax highlighting. To my knowledge, Quarto also isn't a built-in filetype yet. I've worked around this by manually creating a filetype and using R Markdown syntax highlighting with the Nvim-R plugin, which lets me send R code in chunks to a REPL and see results while I edit. Nvim-R also supports evaluation of Python code chunks using an R package that evaluates Python code, but that's not an ideal solution for editing a Python-only file.

looking for a neovim plugin that's similar to Nvim-R, but for python.

For that reason, I want to use Nvim-R in combination with ncm-R. I get the completion to work if I use it manually with Ctrl+x Ctrl+o, but it does not start automatically. My init.vim file looks like this:

I use Nvim-R. It took a bit of time to learn the key bindings, but the documentation is pretty clear.

If you want to go in a very different direction, you can try vim (or neovim) with nvim-r. For a variety of reasons, that’s what I tend to use.

nvim + Nvim-R user here as well.

Assuming you're talking about this ncm[0], are you aware that ncm is a " completion framework for neovim", which is different from an LSP? ncm is either an LSP client itself, or, it is talking to neovim's internal LSP client, to get completions from LSPs.

It's also important to note that LSPs almost always provide you more than auto completion (for example, go to definition, go to implementation, find references).

Do let me know if you have more questions, neovim and LSPs are my "daily driver" as a dev, so to speak.
