PerlNavigator VS clink

What I'd like to see (unrelated to a Perl 7 or 8) is continued improvement of support for code editors. I've been using https://github.com/bscan/PerlNavigator and it's a real pleasure. I know there are other language servers for Perl as well. It's encouraging to see people working on these tools.

PerlNavigator is by far the best languageserver implementation for VSCode (and other editors)

No problem. I just added support for "method" and "fun" whenever "use Function::Parameters" is present in a file. This include syntax highlighting, outline view, and go-to definition. Commit is here: https://github.com/bscan/PerlNavigator/commit/10938c6d50eb342e1989d51a09b4fba8d023df57

"perl": { "command": ["node", "/home/alberto/.local/share/nvim/lsp_servers/perlnavigator/node_modules/perlnavigator-server/out/server.js","--stdio"], "url": "https://github.com/bscan/PerlNavigator", "selector": "source.perl", "highlightingModeRegex": "^Perl$", "settings": { "perlnavigator": { "perlPath": "/usr/bin/perl", "enableWarnings": true, "perltidyProfile": "/home/alberto/.perltidyrc", "perlcriticProfile": "/home/alberto/.perlcriticrc", "perlcriticEnabled": true } } }

I normally use Emacs. I recently read about this tool that integrates with many editors and was hacked during the latest YAPC. I haven't used it but it looks interesting.

Perl Navigator - Language Server for Perl

There are at least three decent language servers for Perl. I do not run Windows and I am not familiar with it, but I believe the simplest language server to install on Windows is probably perlnavigator. You can also look at PLS. Both of these have VSCode extensions you can download. I don't use VSCode and you don't say what editor you are using, but I know a lot of people use VSCode. Both of these have good support in Neovim if you use that.

It would allow portable graphics applications on the terminal, e.g. this C64-emulator-in-Docker only renders ASCII characters, but could be extended with sixels to render graphics (I actually tinkered with this, but didn't get far because most terminals have either none or too slow sixels support):

If you don't want to learn the powershell commands then clink can enhance the existing cmd shell. It provides a lot of features i was used from bash/zsh: completion, history across sessions, colors, fzf integration and so on. Can be extended with lua.

Windows Terminal is great and an enormous improvement over conhost. That said, cmd itself isn't any better unless you extend it with something like Oh My Posh and clink. Add GNU CoreUtils to your path if (like me) your muscle memory is to use ls and rm over dir and del.

Clink (https://github.com/chrisant996/clink) combines the native Windows shell cmd.exe with the powerful command line editing features of the GNU Readline library, which provides rich completion, history, and line-editing capabilities. Readline is best known for its use in the Unix shell Bash, the standard shell for Mac OS X and many Linux distributions.

clink injected into cmd.exe + msys for the utilities, all hosted in OpenConsole

Download the zip file for portable clink from the clink site We will only use clink in the custom Windows Terminal profile by manually extracting the portable clink to the Program Files folder. If you want to install clink to the normal CMD also, you can use the installer and omit the following steps until step 3.0

It has been around for some time however I just found it. It is called Clink . Anyone interested in a video tutorial
