coc.nvim VS kok.nvim

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

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

In the examples listed on this page https://github.com/ms-jpq/coq_nvim, there is a pattern overlay over the whole screen. Is there a neovim plugin that does this? Thanks.

nvim-cmp or coq_nvim is for autocompletion. Treesitter is for parsing language syntax. (I guess the most typical use case for this would be syntax highlighting.) Note that (neo)vim also has built in manual completion that you can use by setting up your omnifunc and triggering it with in insert mode .

Aw man that's not nice to hear. I have had my own struggle with lsp not gonna lie. I used to use coc until it got too slow, after struggling for like 2 days lol lsp is working fast and neat. I'd suggest you to take a look at coq https://github.com/ms-jpq/coq_nvim which claims to be fast as fuck (literally lol) and also claims to be faster than lsp (because its written using c or something). Haven't tried it personally

Coq_nvim

I'm attempting to use (coq_nvim)[https://github.com/ms-jpq/coq_nvim]. This is my config:

Does your coq_nvim and nvim-lspconfig really load? Because they have opts = true

I'd be happy for someone who knows more about this to correct me. But in my experience as well, nvim-cmp is not as good completion as vscode, its suggestions can be all over the place sometimes. I found that coq_nvim tends to better in this regard. I still prefer nvim-cmp for other reasons but you should definitely try coq_nvim out and see if you have a better experience.

Coq_nvim isn't the same as Coc.nvim. Coq is a completion plugin with lots of caching written in Python that works alongside the builtin LSP. Coc is an LSP client (and has it's own plugin ecosystem) written in Node.

There are some like https://github.com/SirVer/ultisnips and https://github.com/ms-jpq/coq_nvim. Speed is not really an issue, I guess people just prefer to have fewer dependencies and use lua which is already bundled in neovim.

Maybe using coq.nvim instead of nvim-cmp could help (?) dince it caches the LSP responses. I haven't test it, though
