nimlangserver is an implementation of Language Server Protocol with the goal to make nim IDE experience more mature. The main difference between nimlangserver and the existing nimlsp is that nimlangserver runs nimsuggest in a separate process and that nimlangserver is using a newly introduced version of nimsuggest v3(see bellow). nimlangserver is currently integrated in VScode via vscode-nim and in Emacs via lsp-mode but adding integraion with other editors should be trivial.

You may fare better hooking VSCode to nimlangserver:

admittedly the editor support is far away from perfect, but that particular issue just sounds like https://github.com/saem/vscode-nim/issues/80

To all those wondering about IDE support , the actively maintained VSCode extension is :

https://github.com/saem/vscode-nim

The default extension suggested by VSCode which have over 43k downloads in un-maintained for Eons and it won't work.

Here is the link : https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=nimsaem....

@dom96 can you pin this somewhere on the forum or website ?
