cmake4vim

Posts with mentions or reviews of cmake4vim. We have used some of these posts to build our list of alternatives and similar projects. The last one was on 2023-01-01.
  • New year and new vim (aka NeoVim)
    15 projects | /r/neovim | 1 Jan 2023
    The plugin is here and adds features like kits, customizable build types, support for running ctest, automatic updates/restarts of clangd LSP server and also provides some functions that allow cool plugin customization. Basically, you get features that are mostly equivalent with features from the plugin I used in vim, but implemented in Lua. Feel free to test it out. Note that I only tested it on my machine (M1Pro mac) and in one Linux container, so expect bugs, crashes and various errors. Feel free to post issues and PRs with fixes.
  • New plugin for gtest integration with vim
    4 projects | /r/vimplugins | 12 Nov 2022
    The plugin depends on cmake4vim (a plugin for CMake integration with Vim/Neovim), this allowed to have deeper integration of gtest-vim for CMake projects (you can just switch between CMake targets in order to run different tests).
  • CMake4Vim update
    5 projects | /r/vim | 16 Aug 2021
    Around the year ago, I have posted the last post about cmake4vim plugin updates.
  • Can you recommend a good Vim configuration for C++ Development for a complete rookie?
    5 projects | /r/vim | 2 Aug 2021
    CMake integration: https://github.com/ilyachur/cmake4vim
  • Creating shortcuts for Dispatch
    2 projects | /r/vim | 22 Feb 2021
    Not sure if you want to add a other plugin, but I've had good results with cmake4vim. It integrates with Dispatch if it's installed.
  • Is there a way to get command mode out colour output like on the terminal?
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 19 Jan 2021
    Good question! And for Cmake projects I really like the cmake4vim plugin from ilyachur. https://github.com/ilyachur/cmake4vim
  • Equivalent method for IDE "run" with Vim / general help
    1 project | /r/vim | 6 Jan 2021
    I think, that you can do such 'advanced' features without used plugins. Concerning my C++ workflow, I'm using it with Cmake and https://github.com/ilyachur/cmake4vim plugin adds the possibility to compile it in a few commands. Also, I've added a feature to run the CMake target with the use of one command and hope, that soon it will be merged.

  • I can't stand using VSCode so I wrote my own (it wasn't easy)
    10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Apr 2024
  • Using a venv with Neovim's Python LSP
    2 projects | dev.to | 5 Apr 2024
    I recently started coding with Neovim using kickstart.nvim as the template for my editor configuration. I downloaded the python-lsp-server package using Mason, but I was disappointed to discover that the IntelliSense on my third party dependencies didn't work. The LSP was resolving to my global Python installation, which did not have the packages from my virtual environment (venv) installed.
  • Do I need NeoVIM?
    11 projects | /r/neovim | 7 Dec 2023
    https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp This is an autocompletion engine https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter This allows NeoVim to install parsing scripts so NeoVim can do things like code highlighting. https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim Not strictly necessary, but allows you to access a repo of LSP, install them, and configure them for without you actively messing about in config files. https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig Also not strictly necessary, but vastly simplifies LSP setup. https://github.com/williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim This lets the above two plugins talk to each other more easily.
  • Do I need a plugin manager ?
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 7 Dec 2023
    I'm using mason.nvim to install my dependencies, I've this snippet at nvim/plugin/mason.lua so after cloning my dotfiles I can just run:
  • Mason can't install gopls (or gofumpt, or goimports)
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 6 Dec 2023
    The suggestion from this thread fixed it for me. I just needed to unset GOOS and GOARCH then restart neovim.
  • Neovim documentation is pretty bad
    1 project | /r/neovim | 18 Jul 2023
    For instance, I'm trying to install rust-analyzer in lazyvim from https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim. The installation instructions are:
  • LazyVim
    32 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 16 Jul 2023
  • How do you enable semantic highlighting for Python?
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 7 Jul 2023
    I have pyright installed via mason which apparently support "semantic token highlighting" but have been having a hard time getting these colors to show up in a buffer. It seems Neovim has changed how it handles semantic highlighting a few times so there's still some conflicting information online. It's hard to know what's current and what's not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  • language server not installed or missing from path
    1 project | /r/neovim | 5 Jul 2023
    Use mason to install the language servers you want.
  • Why is nobody using CoC anymore?
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 3 Jul 2023
    Because null-ls.nvim & mason.nvim together do everything I wanted CoC for
