Vim VS coc.nvim

I find the Vim extension for VS Code has macro support that is good enough for most of my use cases (if you’re a fan of Vim key bindings - obviously).

https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/blob/master/ROADMAP.md#repe...

that's why I just use https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim if I have to use VSCode

They have discussions enabled on the GitHub repository; eventually r/vscode might be of help.

What you would learn from using a neovim addon for VS Code covers most of the first point and some of the second - VSCode Vim lets you run neovim in a headless mode that relays keypresses to it, and emulates several popular addons. It also comes without quite as much hassle as comes from the second step of learning to configure vim/neovim yourself. Most VSCode extensions work pretty well out of the box, maybe requiring you to add the path to a compiler/interpreter that is not on your PATH.

The extension does have visualedit. You can check the list of supported features here: https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/blob/HEAD/ROADMAP.md

I though VSCode's vim emulation had issues with code folding

Either I go with K552 or save for RK84 if not CB-GK-16 and both of these are pretty good choice that's certain, or I go with 617 Fizz and use VIM keybinding which Isn't an issue for me cause I've been using NeoVim for more than 1 year, you can grab my dotfiles if you want. Most people won't go with 60% cause they are used to arrow, home, end ... keys so am I with vs code but today I found out about vscodevim extension which enables vim keybinding , these keybindings pretty easy to use more than arrow, home, end .. keys if yo're a vim user like Shift + $ = end, Shift + 0 = home, in visual mode V to select text etc ...

The most famous TypeScript one probably is coc.nvim

It is flatly the wrong mindset to think of vim as an IDE. vim is a code editor: get in, make change, get out. Consider vim koans, which are a fun little read. You can throw coc.nvim at Neovim, along with a few other bits to give you a Good Enough setup, but vim isn't and will never be an IDE.

I just did a fresh reinstall of CoC, on a newer version of Neovim. I'm now seeing something I hadn't seen before, which CoC calls "inlay hints". They look like this:

I'm currently on an old setup (using coc and polyglot) and nvim v0.6.1. I'll be updating to a more modern setup within next year, using the native lsp and building nvim more frequently. But that's not today.

coc.nvim

There are some plugins which have the best documentations I have ever seen, but you need to read it from the Vim.

Example of coc.nvim: https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim/blob/master/doc/coc.txt

Actually you can with coc.nvim & coc-sh. So long as shellcheck is also installed and in PATH, it'll integrate with coc/vim just fine.

When you install an extension it runs an npm install or yarn, iirc, which is going to be problematic for you being offline. I was going to say you could copy that ~/.config/coc folder directly to the other machine but yeah, Windows, no idea. You see here https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim/wiki/Using-coc-extensions

You can try https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim, the pre-requisite is to install nodeJS, then to install all the languages LSP. This works for me for Angular, Rust, JavaScript, Vimscript, etc

But for « intellisense » and completion you can use this https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim it works with rust-analyser so it executes a cargo check and fmt every time you save the file as well.
