neovim-config VS nvim-compe

Ultimately, only you know what works best for your workflow. And your ideal setup will be one that you write yourself. But that doesn't mean you should stay away from other people's configs. Search this subreddit. Try some out. See how other people live. The most obvious things will be the different plugins. You may know how to edit in vim but it's not clear to me if you're already familiar with things like registers, buffers, macros, quickfix lists and other built-in functionality. That stuff is important to learn. These are my dots if you're curious. https://github.com/rebuilt/neovim-config. As for writing in lua vs vimscript, more setup guides include information for vimscript because it's been around longer. But if you're moving to neovim to take advantage of lsp and treesitter and luajit then you might as well go with lua. This is assuming you don't already know vimscript.

If you're migrating from vs code you might feel at home with this set of configs. https://github.com/ChristianChiarulli/LunarVim

I have it set up in my configs using completion-nvim. https://github.com/rebuilt/neovim-config

I use https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-compe and https://github.com/simrat39/rust-tools.nvim along with the built in LSP and auto completion works really well. You will want treesitter and all that setup too.

I want to share my code for my migration from nvim-compe (deprecated) to nvim-cmp. Though, I would describe myself as an experienced Vimmer I am not very familiar with the whole Lua thing (although I really appreciate it and hope that Lua's first class citizen can compete with the elisp ecosystem^^).

Wrong, plain and simple. A total misconception.

compe.nvim

For autocomplete/intellisense: https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-compe

But nvim-compe already exists.

completion-nvim OR nvim-compe

Here's some setup idea: - packer for package manager - clangd language server - nvim-lspconfig, required for navigator.lua - navigator.lua for enchanced IDE experience. This is a like adding a sugar to coffee. - completion-nvim OR nvim-compe for enchanching autocomplete & dropdown menu suggestion. - nvim-treesitter for better syntax highlighting. - telescope.nvim for amazing extensible & configurable fuzzy finder, you can also use fzf if you want. - Any custom color scheme you want (preferably one that supports tree sitter, like aurora )
