editorconfig-vim VS neovim

These are tools that you need to add. But the most elemental code formatting is not here, it is in the widely supported .editorconfig file.

Hello,

Maybe you should check this project:

https://editorconfig.org/

Regards,

editorconfigchecker. A linter that checks files for compliance with editorconfig rules. Another linter that helps maintain consistency in the format of all files.

Oh, yeah, we had that issue too and solved it pretty successfully with `.editorconfig` (shareable between VScode and IntelliJ, https://editorconfig.org/) combined with `prettier`.

Each IDE is configured to:

- Not reformat code on its own

- Ignore whitespace

- Run `prettier` as a pre-commit hook

Those settings are saved to `.editorconfig` where possible, or to each IDE's repo-specific folder (e.g. `.idea`).

Then in theory each developer can use whatever IDE they want, whatever whitespace settings they want (tabs vs spaces), and the end code committed to the repo is still the same.

I am aware of .editorconfig, and one day that may be the correct answer but the specification does not support every element of the styles of both oss and css.

Does this mean I can completely get rid of this plugin?: https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-vim

I dunno who downvoted your question, but I believe you can use .editorconfig to set that up for you.

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack. If you don't have Git, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/downloads

There are several ways to install Neovim. This wiki provides several guidelines on how to install Neovim.

All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.

I've recently switched to Neovim, and with it begun using the terminal mouse support. But, this has the side-effect that I can't just click-and-drag to select text in the terminal anymore -- Neovim controls that as well.
