dotfiles VS vimspector

I like it when things are tidy: dotfiles/vim/vimrc. It makes the training info more credible.

You can always purge your buffer list whenever it gets too large. In fact, I have two custom commands in my vimrc: one to delete all buffers and one to delete specific buffer file(s). You can find them here in my dotfiles.

If you want to see what my personal configs look like, check out my dotfiles.

My Vim configs are stored inside my dotfiles repository - this way I can access them when I'm away from my computer. So if I have to login from a foreign computer, all I need to do is symlink the Vim files from the dotfiles repository, install the dependencies (I have a script for that too, but that's for another time), and I'm set to go!

There are DAP extensions for both Vim (e.g. https://github.com/puremourning/vimspector) and NeoVim (https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap). I can't speak as to the experience in detail (I think I briefly played with nvim-dap a year or two ago), but I suspect that for most it will be good enough.

I struggle a bit to put what i want into words but i still try my best.So i got some plugins likehttps://github.com/sindrets/diffview.nvimhttps://github.com/harrisoncramer/gitlab.nvimhttps://github.com/puremourning/vimspectorand so on (but those are the one which i need that "feature" the most).

The actual title is "Vimspector - A multi-language debugging plugin for Vim".

It is a UI around DAP: https://github.com/puremourning/vimspector#what-vimspector-i...

vimspector

I do think VSCode is a great tool and I recommend it frequently to people, but I still want to set the record straight here. Yes, vim is obviously limited in the sense that as a CLI app it doesn't draw it's own PDF or HTML windows, that's fair. But it can remote control your favorite PDF viewer or browser for roughly the same functionality. I'm currently writing my thesis using vimtex and it's quite smooth. And all the other stuff you mention is implemented quite competently by various plugins like vim-fugitive, coc.nvim, vimspector and copilot.vim.

You could try vimspector. It's main target is vim and not neovim.

I use vim for C++ coding, however it is a bit difficult to set up to make it productive. I use YouCompleteMe [0] for autocompletion, Vimspector [1] with the C++ plugin for debugging, ALE [2] for linting, along with a few other general plugins (such as NerdTREE for file view).

For debugging normally I'd throw a breakpoint() and then have it launch pdb in a terminal from within nvim, but vimspector also exists if you'd rather.
