neovim-qt VS clangd

While we are on the subject, there's also neovim-qt: https://github.com/equalsraf/neovim-qt

There's an issue here about "Invalid Font Height" but It seems already fixed.

Otherwise it's recommended to do it on UIEnter

:X, for one, which was rejected for idiotic reasons. I was also stupid errors from my vimrc, from bugs that were closed without fixing. Just no point trying to figure out how to get Neovim to behave like Vim when I already have Vim. *shrug*

Neovim in tmux, or neovim-qt if I don't need to be able to attach to the session remotely. I occasionally bounce back to Emacs, but that's becoming less often now that the TreeSitter and LSP plugins for Neovim have gotten so good. All of that lives in an Xorg session managed by i3. Docs live in zeal.

So apparently this is an open issue on github, hopefully it gets solved. At least I know its not my computer doing weird things

I prefer using neovim in a ui most of the time. Neovim-Qt served me quite well. For ligatures you have to use the latest release but it is easy to compile and install.

I'm still waiting for clangd support, e.g. [0] before trying modules.

I know one way to do this, but hoping there's something simpler or more general. clangd (C++ LSP server) is over-aggressive about adding "helpful" #includes during completion. The way to turn that off is to pass -header-insertion=never on its cmd line.

Install the clangd language server using your system package manager, e.g. sudo apt-get install clangd

> As a side note, I despise things like imports and aliases. I'd prefer that when I do jump to a function, I can read it without having to check if anything is imported or not.

One idea might be to use an LSP (Language Server Protocol) interface. It could describe the fully qualified symbol for you when you, say, select the abbreviated symbol or press a keyboard shortcut. I've been working on a moderately large C program with Emacs and clangd[1] recently and have been amazed at how 'immersive' it feels, and that's from someone who's used to the comfort of a Lisp REPL!

FWIW, recent clangd also has this feature: "unused" as of 14, "missing" as of 16, works better in snapshots.

You need to install CMake (and use it to build your project - which you should do in any case) and clangd.

First we would need the Clangd extension as well as the LSP itself You can download the extension from #here The extension provides its own Clangd LSP but in case of issues with that we would like to download and setup the clangd package from the official site for both Windows and Linux I daily drive Linux on my laptop, thus this guide works well for linux users, Windows users can use programs like Cygwin to replicate the process

Few days ago I found a bug while using clangd LSP with neovim, and submitted a bug report to clangd: https://github.com/clangd/clangd/issues/1640

Come to the light side: VSCodium with clangd
