julia-vim VS coc.nvim

There's a handy Vim plug-in for Julia that will convert latex commands to symbols so it's a one character difference for a pretty notable improvement to readability when you start to get into longer equations.

Nowadays during my master thesis does lots of equations appear in my python code, but I would love to use tex rendering in some way, like latex preview in emacs. However, I know that there is some great latex rendering such as tex-conceal.vim and latex_to_unicode in julia-vim, but I am not able to make it work for python comments. Any idea on how to solve this?

There is a plugin I tried which is called julia-vim. However, this plugin is too broken for me. It conflicts with other completion plugins which makes it so hard to either fix or manage my configuration and keymaps. Fortunately, I found cmp-latex-symbols, a completion plugin that as described in the README

I use Git and plain text files. The Julia addon for Vim allows one to write UTF-8 math symbols with LaTeX commands.

I use julia.vim for unicode support. I find it a bit more responsive than agda-vim, and it has more symbols (the list is autogenerated). but I have two gripes with it:

Ideally, yes, I want to use LSP in order for it to work as close as possible from my nvim with julia-vim, coc.nvim and vim-julia-cell. At least until I'm more familiarized with Emacs. I really do want to learn, but I cannot just stop my daily work, so the best world possible would be to be able to keep working while learning.

I use vim+vim_slime along with the julia plugin configured with tab latex to unicode conversion. This means I can have a REPL open in a split vim buffer and send chunks from my script directly to the REPL. It's really lightweight and fast. I'm working to make some functional snippets too.

Since I was still missing some more advanced Vim features, I did some search and now have a pretty decent terminal based environment. The base is Tmux + Neovim- I open 2 panes, where one is used for coding and the other is Julia REPL. I use julia-vim plugin for base syntax and code highlights and vim-slime with vim-julia-cell for live sending of the code from the Neovim to the REPL.

As well as its own plugins Vim/NeoVim can use VSCode's LSPs, DAPs and extensions either directly or via plugins like CoC[1] and Mason[2].

I would be surprised if emacs couldn't do the same.

The most famous TypeScript one probably is coc.nvim

It is flatly the wrong mindset to think of vim as an IDE. vim is a code editor: get in, make change, get out. Consider vim koans, which are a fun little read. You can throw coc.nvim at Neovim, along with a few other bits to give you a Good Enough setup, but vim isn't and will never be an IDE.

I just did a fresh reinstall of CoC, on a newer version of Neovim. I'm now seeing something I hadn't seen before, which CoC calls "inlay hints". They look like this:

I'm currently on an old setup (using coc and polyglot) and nvim v0.6.1. I'll be updating to a more modern setup within next year, using the native lsp and building nvim more frequently. But that's not today.

coc.nvim

There are some plugins which have the best documentations I have ever seen, but you need to read it from the Vim.

Example of coc.nvim: https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim/blob/master/doc/coc.txt

Actually you can with coc.nvim & coc-sh. So long as shellcheck is also installed and in PATH, it'll integrate with coc/vim just fine.

When you install an extension it runs an npm install or yarn, iirc, which is going to be problematic for you being offline. I was going to say you could copy that ~/.config/coc folder directly to the other machine but yeah, Windows, no idea. You see here https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim/wiki/Using-coc-extensions

You can try https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim, the pre-requisite is to install nodeJS, then to install all the languages LSP. This works for me for Angular, Rust, JavaScript, Vimscript, etc
