ideavim VS intellij-rust

[this neovim plugin](https://github.com/abecodes/tabout.nvim) helps me get out of double quotes and parenthesis while being in insert mode (I use [ideavim](https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim/)). The present implementation of this behaviour in the IDE as [smart keys](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/settings-smart-keys.html) isn't cutting it for me.

IntelliJ with Vim bindings is really good! It is actively supported so patches come often to fix some discrepancies with the original software. It even supports a handful of plugins out of the box.

For partial chest hair, use IdeaVim

The biggest advantage of vim is the movements (key bindings), and there are plugins for many editors for that, e.g. https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim

There are many apps, web sites, IDE plugins, and extensions that have vim keybindings. You can use vim keybindings all the time, everywhere.

There is a nerdtree plugin for ideavim https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim/wiki/NERDTree-support

ideavim has vimscript, but I am not sure how "full" it is, never tried.

IntelliJ IDEA makes it definitively easy to start without setting things up. IdeaVim makes it better for a Vim user. But also frustrating, as certain Vim-features don't work.

We’ll also consider the cases when IntelliJ IDEA licenses were primarily bought for Rust development with the IntelliJ Rust plugin and which options we can suggest to our users in these cases. Please stay tuned!

Last time I tried this, the plugin was incapable of actually showing compile errors in the project view and they said their false positive error rate was too high to enable it (https://github.com/intellij-rust/intellij-rust/pull/8373). That was a dealbreaker for me compared to VSCode.

Intellgi Rust is a good option.

Thank you all for the assist. Yep, not just a newbie issue which is surprising. :^) https://github.com/intellij-rust/intellij-rust/issues/10483

Warning about Unused_labels and implementation of MIR Now things are getting interesting

Agreed. Specifically, I've found the intellij rust plugin on top of Clion to be great.

figure out testing, you probably want to structure your app in a way that allows you to run it in testing (Zero to Production has a great approach to that). There are helpers for testing like sqlx::test but CLion Rust plugin doesn't support them yet, it breaks code analysis (afaik the fix is not released yet).

Any closer to getting error highlighting on files working properly (https://github.com/intellij-rust/intellij-rust/pull/8373)? That's a major benefit of rust-analyzer to me.

Could you please clarify whether the problem affects exactly local variables' values or function parameters' values? It is a known bug that the CLion's debugger cannot show function parameters' values on Windows: https://github.com/intellij-rust/intellij-rust/issues/6676. This is a major issue and we are working on it. But if you are facing such problems in any other scenarios, please let us know and share a problematic code snippet if possible
