indentLine VS nvim-compe

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.

Plug 'https://github.com/fatih/vim-go.git' Plug 'https://github.com/tpope/vim-vinegar.git' Plug 'https://github.com/ycm-core/YouCompleteMe' Plug 'https://github.com/tpope/vim-eunuch' Plug 'https://github.com/rust-lang/rust.vim' Plug 'https://github.com/vim-airline/vim-airline' Plug 'https://github.com/vim-airline/vim-airline-themes' Plug 'sainnhe/sonokai' Plug 'junegunn/fzf', { 'do': { -> fzf#install() } } Plug 'https://github.com/Yggdroot/indentLine' Plug 'https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive' Plug 'yuki-yano/fzf-preview.vim', { 'branch': 'release/rpc' }

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

I use https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-compe and https://github.com/simrat39/rust-tools.nvim along with the built in LSP and auto completion works really well. You will want treesitter and all that setup too.

I want to share my code for my migration from nvim-compe (deprecated) to nvim-cmp. Though, I would describe myself as an experienced Vimmer I am not very familiar with the whole Lua thing (although I really appreciate it and hope that Lua's first class citizen can compete with the elisp ecosystem^^).

Wrong, plain and simple. A total misconception.

compe.nvim

For autocomplete/intellisense: https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-compe

But nvim-compe already exists.

completion-nvim OR nvim-compe

Here's some setup idea: - packer for package manager - clangd language server - nvim-lspconfig, required for navigator.lua - navigator.lua for enchanced IDE experience. This is a like adding a sugar to coffee. - completion-nvim OR nvim-compe for enchanching autocomplete & dropdown menu suggestion. - nvim-treesitter for better syntax highlighting. - telescope.nvim for amazing extensible & configurable fuzzy finder, you can also use fzf if you want. - Any custom color scheme you want (preferably one that supports tree sitter, like aurora )
