combobulate VS ccls

Eh, I've been looking and haven't found anything for other editors that actually tries to use TreeSitter for anything beyond highlighting. The Emacs structural editing packages are still very WIP but at least they exist.

(And also some have been based on the out of tree implementation that's been around for a while now)

Example: https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate

Looking at https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate/blob/master/combobulate-python.el, it at the very least delegates to python-indent-calculate-levels, so the logic is mixed.

I went from an old config rich setups from before lsp's to lsp-mode ones etc... Right now I would say that eglot + pylsp gives you the best experience, you can use pyenv and pyvenv mode to manage your virtual environments. Now that treesitter is also being used you can try out https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate

I think the following packages would fit your wishlist, as it is very similar to mine. As mentioned in the replies, there is (https://github.com/magnars/expand-region.el) and (https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate). I regularly use (https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens).

re syntactic text objects: https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate

I haven't used it, but based on the description, it looks like combobulate would be an example of this:

from github README.rst "Emacs package that provides a standardized framework for manipulating and navigating your source code using tree sitter's concrete syntax tree " -> https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate

https://www.spacemacs.org/ with https://github.com/emacs-tree-sitter/elisp-tree-sitter then write a iterator/loop query for language(s) editing per https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/syntax-highlightin...

tad less installation heavy (sorta) but also makes use of tree-sitter syntax queries : https://www.lunarvim.org (neovim with treesitter syntax)

Alternative examples / takes (per user interface):

### embedding a block of source code in a document:

  ** carrotsearch.gethub.io/apidocs/code-blocks

I don't know what this fork brings to table, but you could try tree-sitter today with your vanilla Emacs using a package[1] that works via dynamic module.

Personally I am more interested in getting structural selection and navigation reliably working for any language. There is also a package named combobulate[2] to help with that.

TIL https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate Thank you, @snafuchs !

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.

"" https://github.com/MaskRay/ccls/wiki/vim-lsp if executable('ccls') augroup lsp_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.
