  • Help needed with setting up inlay hints
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 6 Jun 2023
    Thanks for the reply! I also wanted to make it work with clangd, but it won't. I stumbled upon this issue. Maybe you have enough knowledge to figure this out, I don't know how to set up this compilation database. I installed clangd using Mason, and configured it via lspconfig basically the same way as the guy in the issue I linked did. Also, I'm using the newest nightly.
  • Forking of rust-tools.nvim
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 25 May 2023
    I don't understand why inlay hints must be implemented in a rust-specific plugin. https://github.com/lvimuser/lsp-inlayhints.nvim exists, has support for inline inlay hints (on a separate branch for now) and works with rust (and should work any language server since inlay hints are part of the spec). Am I missing something?
  • feat(ui): inline virtual text #20130 just merged
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 22 May 2023
    To use inlay hints in typescript an rust you would need this plugin: https://github.com/lvimuser/lsp-inlayhints.nvim It provides example in the readme on how to setup inlay hints for typescript and rust. For now the master brach has "old" inlay hints implementation but there is a branch that implement new one. And of course you will need nightly version for that for now.

  • How to enable inlay hints for ocamllsp?
    1 project | /r/neovim | 10 May 2023
    But it doesn't seem to work. I also tried lvimuser/lsp-inlayhints.nvim with no luck. Any advice of how to properly enable this feature when ocamllsp server is attached? Thank you in advance.
  • Help with finding a plugin & workflow
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 8 May 2023
    I have inlay hints working in nvim with lvimuser/lsp-inlayhints.nvim, no special configuration other than the LspAttach block from their README. The caveat is that your LSP server has to support inlay hints.
  • Please inform me of the plugin(s) enabling these two features

    The second one might be https://github.com/lvimuser/lsp-inlayhints.nvim
  • tsserver configuration options
    6 projects | /r/neovim | 24 Mar 2023
    you can use nvim-lspcofig for LSP support, mason.nvim for installing LSP servers, linters, formatters and debug adapters. nvim-cmp for completions, luasnip for snippets, null-ls for configuring your formatter and linters , lsp-inlayhints for inlay hints.
  • getting inline rust analyzer error hints with neovim
    5 projects | /r/neovim | 12 Mar 2023
    Inlay hints are available through rust-tools.nvim, or lsp-inlayhints.nvim.
  • Is it possible to get inlay hints with Omnisharp?
    1 project | /r/neovim | 12 Mar 2023
    iirc, inlay hints aren't supported by nvim's built-in LSP, but you can get them with the inlay-hints plugin: https://github.com/lvimuser/lsp-inlayhints.nvim (if the LSP for omnisharp also supports them)

  • Using a venv with Neovim's Python LSP
    2 projects | dev.to | 5 Apr 2024
    I recently started coding with Neovim using kickstart.nvim as the template for my editor configuration. I downloaded the python-lsp-server package using Mason, but I was disappointed to discover that the IntelliSense on my third party dependencies didn't work. The LSP was resolving to my global Python installation, which did not have the packages from my virtual environment (venv) installed.
  • Do I need NeoVIM?
    11 projects | /r/neovim | 7 Dec 2023
    https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp This is an autocompletion engine https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter This allows NeoVim to install parsing scripts so NeoVim can do things like code highlighting. https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim Not strictly necessary, but allows you to access a repo of LSP, install them, and configure them for without you actively messing about in config files. https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig Also not strictly necessary, but vastly simplifies LSP setup. https://github.com/williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim This lets the above two plugins talk to each other more easily.
  • Do I need a plugin manager ?

    I'm using mason.nvim to install my dependencies, I've this snippet at nvim/plugin/mason.lua so after cloning my dotfiles I can just run:
  • Mason can't install gopls (or gofumpt, or goimports)

    The suggestion from this thread fixed it for me. I just needed to unset GOOS and GOARCH then restart neovim.

  • How do you enable semantic highlighting for Python?
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 7 Jul 2023
    I have pyright installed via mason which apparently support "semantic token highlighting" but have been having a hard time getting these colors to show up in a buffer. It seems Neovim has changed how it handles semantic highlighting a few times so there's still some conflicting information online. It's hard to know what's current and what's not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  • language server not installed or missing from path

    Use mason to install the language servers you want.
  • Why is nobody using CoC anymore?

    Because null-ls.nvim & mason.nvim together do everything I wanted CoC for
