overseer.nvim VS nvim-spectre

When working on multiple projects it might be useful to define some local configuration that should be automatically loaded. This e.g. includes customized LSP configuration or adding build tasks for task runner plugins like overseer.nvim. To do that you can create .nvim.lua in your project directory and define your local settings there.

I use https://github.com/stevearc/overseer.nvim, a task/job runner kinda like the one in VS Code. You can run your builds, tests, lints, etc. with it.

overseer.nvim

There's overseer.nvim to run all sorts of things and neotest to run tests. In general, you can check awesome-neovim or TWiN to look for plugins.

Here's an example of how to configure your vim_ui_select picker for the amazing task managing plugin overseer.nvim!

I use overseer for this https://github.com/stevearc/overseer.nvim

I would like to call out that "make compiler plugins async" sounds like a simple change, but quickly becomes quite complex. Let's say you do an async :make, now you have a background process. How do you cancel it? How do you view the output? Can you hide it and then come back to it? Can you run more than one at a time? Can you view all running tasks? If you want to have only very basic controls you could do what vim-dispatch is doing, but I personally don't think it's very good. I think any solution shy of VS Code style tasks control will be insufficient, but I think the appetite for adding something that complex to core Neovim is quite low. That said, this (and more) is something I really wanted, which is why I wrote overseer.nvim

I still can't get testing and debugging tests down, so I am going back to intellij or goland to do that. I have been at it for about 3 weeks now. I spent so much time setting up my config. haha. Having said that, I really like Overseer https://github.com/stevearc/overseer.nvim

nvim-spectre is a pretty decent one

Re 3., I asked about this idea in the spectre repo initially but then started muren: https://github.com/nvim-pack/nvim-spectre/issues/125

The only must have feature that was missing for me is VSCodes powerful project wide search. Fortunately nvim-spectre does exactly that

i am a bit at a loss. I want to replace a string in all files, the tool in question is spectre, provided per default by lazyvim.

https://github.com/nvim-pack/nvim-spectre is really nice

Check out nvim-spectre.

I'd suggest checking out nvim-spectre. It's a powerful search and replace tool.

Use this plugin nvim-spectre, it is awesome! https://github.com/nvim-pack/nvim-spectre
