  • Looking for a cursor highlighting plugin posted recently
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 31 Jan 2023
    These days though I'm using the https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-refactor plugin. It goes one step further and only highlights the matches that are in the same scope. Makes a big difference in a lot of programming languages where you use the same variable named in a lot of smaller functions/methods right next to each other.
  • Anything like Blockman in Neovim?
    10 projects | /r/neovim | 14 Dec 2022
    My desires are not sated, but it seems quite nice. (I recall treesitter-refactor has a similar scope highlighter, but it could be a bit aggressive near root scope -- this might be a more gentle version.

  • Very slow input latency for haskell when treesitter highlighting is enabled
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 8 Aug 2022
    Treesitter performance is a hard problem. First, check the following: 1. Do you use nvim_treesitter#foldexpr()? Try not to use foldmethod=expr in insert mode. Or just switch to nvim-ufo. 2. Do you use nvim-treesitter-refactor's highlight_definitions or highlight_current_scope? These features do slower the performance. Try to disable these features. 3. I've heard some language parser is not good in terms of performance. Since I don't write haskell, I can't help you here. But you can create issue in nvim-treesitter.
  • Looking for treesitter-based (but not LSP-based) plugins with commands like "hover documentation"
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 7 Jul 2022
    For instance, with plugins like nvim-treesitter-refactor and ray-x/navigator.lua, you can use a bunch of commands like "go to definition" and "smart rename" without an LSP server.

  • Is there any plugin to highlight occurences of a value under cursor?
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 17 Feb 2022
    If you have treesitter, you can use nvim-treesitter-refactor. It has the highlight_definitions option that will highlight the definitions of a variable.

    Oh! I've actually never tried Emacs text navigation. My brief stint with Emacs was with Spacemacs (w/ the evil-mode plugin). If I knew any lisp when I had given Spacemacs a whirl then there's a chance I may have stuck with it. I've played with Clojure a bit. Ah, it appears that you're a data-eng -- heavy on the Python. Are you trying to mimic something that PyCharm provides? I'm just happy that LSP has come where it has in such little time and that's already improved working with code in various languages quite a bit. Neovim moves incredibly fast and having LuaJIT with support for Lua had completely opened the floodgates for ports of old Vim plugins and made way for newer ones with floating windows/floating terminals. There are two projects each with hundreds of stars on GitHub meant to mimic or one-up org-mode (one has an entirely new spec) with immense development activity. The one-up that Neovim has over Vim presently is tree-sitter (because the core team wrote a wrapper) and exposes a Lua interface for plugin devs that want to use it. It's been neat for themes and my new favorite find-and-replace plugin (https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-refactor). Because there's type data coming from the AST, it's much less likely to have accidental replacements (if at all). It looks like Emacs is making some headway here, though: https://github.com/emacs-tree-sitter

    I suggest looking for blog posts about this, you're gunnuh wanna pick out a plugin manager and stuff. It's kind of like a package manager for neovim. You can install everything manually but usually you manually install a plugin manager and it gives you commands to manage the rest of your plugins.

    These two plugins are the bare minimum in my view.

    https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter

    Treesitter gives you much better syntax highlighting based on a parser for a given language.

    https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig

    This plugin helps you connect to a given language LSP quickly with sensible defaults. You more or less pick your language from here and copy paste a snippet, and then install the relevant LSP:

    https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/doc/ser...

    For Python you'll want pylsp. For JavaScript it will depend on what frontend framework you're using, I probably can't help you there.

    pylsp itself takes some plugins and you'll probably want them. https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server

    Best of luck! Happy hacking.

    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.

  • Getting Treesitter to work for Windows 10

    Change the compiler to use 'llvm' and install visual studio build tools command line stuff - at least that is what worked for me without problems. If you are using c++ then I would assume you have visual studio installed already. If you need more info follow the treesitter windows support

  • nvim-treesitter erroring on Windows 11 Pro
    1 project | /r/neovim | 5 Jul 2023
    I've followed the official guide for nvim-treesitter support on Windows, but I'm having problems making it work. I keep getting a compilation error for any parser I try to install using TSInstall. If instead I use TSInstallSync I don't get errors but the parser is not correctly installed. My setup uses lazyvim and I installed LLVM using winget to have a C compiler.
  • Neovim can't find C compiler
    1 project | /r/neovim | 2 Jul 2023
    I have read that gcc in windows doesn't always provide the necessary support for treesitter. I have seen ppl prefer clang over gcc in Windows. Please see also Windows support in treesitter's repo. Unfortunately I cannot help further as I don't use Windows for coding, but hope you can deduce something to solve your problem from the above link (if you haven't already read through it).
