indentLine VS dotfiles

Before my emacs days, I used nvim with this package called indentLine. Basically it displays (maybe semi-transparent?) vertical lines for same indentation levels . It's visually helpful when I'm in python code.

If I understood your question and you don't mind adding a plugin, Yggdroot/indentLine might be what you're looking for.

I saw this on github: https://github.com/Yggdroot/indentLine but it's last bug fix was 2 years ago with 71 open issues.

(For example, in vim, I use https://github.com/Yggdroot/indentLine, but in nvim, I use https://github.com/lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim.)

If you use tabs for indentation check out :h 'list' and :h 'listchars'. If you use spaces there is the indentline plugin (or indent-blankline if you're using neovim).

If your file is saved as a particular language that supports indentation, it will automatically indent lines for you but it cannot be reliable. So, we need to IndentLine, and others as well.

https://github.com/Yggdroot/indentLine works with Vim 8, I use it (occasionally).

I have never used lsp-zero nor mason. I crafted my own LSP setup from back in the Neovim 0.5 days, see config here if interested.

Very simple, as noted here

My Neovim dotfiles.

init.lua and nvim directory

Most of mine is in Vimscript except for any modern Neovim plugin, I configure all of those in Lua. You can so I sprinkle Lua lightly within my configuration.

[Tip 3] Do not use the vim-rails plugin, it really slows down startup A LOT. I have switched over to Tim Pope's other project navigation plugin projectionist which can be configured to provide most of the functionality of vim-rails (but not all). For those interested here are my projectionist mappings. The stuff I miss out on, such as opening view files under the cursor just via :Eview, I can live without.

You can look around my dotfiles to get a feel for this hybrid Neovim / Vim compatibility mode.

This is what it looks like for me and this is my indent-blankline configuration, the most important of which is this:
