ccls VS coc.nvim

Then it would just have a dependency on Clang, and you couldn't use Emacs at all (since you can't use Clang).

AFAIK, the only alternative to the clangd language server is ccls: https://github.com/MaskRay/ccls

The base config adds about 15 lines (I have extra settings adding another 15 lines), then each language server adds a few lines per augroup. Example config for ccls.

Try ccls instead, it has setup instructions for many LSP clients in the wiki: https://github.com/MaskRay/ccls

vim-lsp and ccls, supertab for auto-completion

these days a good lsp plugin will get you 90% of what you need for most languages and codebases. once youve got that set up its just a matter of picking lsp servers. i use ccls for c/c++. if you set it up and its not giving you hints for godot classes you probably have to point ccls at the proper godot-cpp subdirs using a .ccls file in your project root.

I installed ccls using snap for ubuntu.

C++/C language server: ccls

👉 With LSP in this installation, I use Coc for its simplicity without the need to intervene in the Coc configuration. LSP has been very useful in my Helix modal editor to configure Helixu.

As well as its own plugins Vim/NeoVim can use VSCode's LSPs, DAPs and extensions either directly or via plugins like CoC[1] and Mason[2].

I would be surprised if emacs couldn't do the same.

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
