nvim-lint VS kickstart.nvim

Personally, i think nvim-lint is the best alternative currently, specially so because it has no dependencies on external binaries. This guide assumes you already have your LSP set up with nvim-lspconfig (or an alternative like lsp-zero). You should also have an way to install the linters you are gonna need, i highly recommend Mason with mason-lspconfig.

Try out https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-lint for linting tools, it integrates with nvim diagnostics module, might cover all use cases of null-ls for someone shopping around.

People looking for alternative can check these projects: - nvim-lint - formatter.nvim

For linting, I would recommend nvim-lint. Again the same step as before, a little bit of setup code to register your linter and you're good to go!

This will be the third linting solution to make use of the [Neovim Diagnostic] module after null-ls and nvim-lint. All can co-exist, all have the pros and cons.

I use nvim-lint (https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-lint), but I still don't know exactly how to achieve your goals with it. My hunch is that it should be somewhat straightforward, since Lua code could be used to provide the executable command (i.e. if in poetry project then cmd =poetry run ...else if ... then ... end)

It's not obvious from the website, but this is the blog of GitHub user @mfussenegger, who is a Neovim core member, one of the primary maintainers of Neovim's LSP client implementation, and the other of several excellent plugins.

https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-lint works with the diagnostics API that was created after LSP was added, to allow non-LSP to use diagnostics API. Meaning you can see LSP and linting in the same interfaces if you use this API.

As part of my work-in-progress Neovim [plugin]([https://github.com/nat-418/tcl.nvim)(https://github.com/nat-418/tcl.nvim)) for Tcl development, I added support for Nagelfar syntax checking in the nvim-lint plugin. This provides inline checking for errors as seen in the attached screenshot. If anyone has any ideas on how to create a Tcl Language Server, or knows of a project already working on one, I would be very interested to know about it.

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.

First thing I did was get kickstart.nvim. I had heard it was extremely useful (and it was). It was very easy to install. I start reading through init.lua, and it told me to run :Tutor, which is almost 1,000 lines of learning how to use Neovim, to which I obviously ran that command and started reading. Obviously, it takes a bit of time to complete :Tutor, but it's well worth it. "hjkl" wasn't too hard to get used to, also repeating motions by using numbers was useful, such as using '5dd' to delete 5 lines. I highly suggest reading this file, especially since I didn't really know about the different modes, which is probably why I failed to switch the other times. You would start writing your code, then Neovim would say that it can't find that command, you would accidently type an i and then start typing, and so on, it was a nightmare. For those that don't know the modes, here is each mode and how to get between them.

I also suggest against using distributions. Instead of learning how to configure nvim itself you're learning to configure that specific distro.

I suggest to take someone's lua config and start from there. Kickstart.nvim is a good one: https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim

1) the option I wouldn’t chose, use Kickstarter. It’s a minimal starter config, using a single init.lua that helps you build a config slowly. https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim

I highly recommend Lazyvim for if you want to have a VSCode (ish) like experience that still exposes you to configuring in Lua. Or Kickstart.nvim if you want a more "from scratch" experience

In case it is helpful, I am using kickstart.nvim with only minor modifications.

One of the project goals is to become something like kickstart.nvim. Or, to be a reference if someone doesn't know how to do something.

Hey guys! I don't use the "./" path at all since I see it useless, I would love to remove it to be kind with my own soul, I'd love some help with this. My nvim setup is kickstart.nvim with Lua of course.
