    Treesitter is a syntax parser that'll build a tree-like structure to enable anything from excellent syntax highlighting through to complex refactoring. There are so many creative ways you can use Treesitter, from jumping around text objects to commenting sections of code, it's a must-have in my books.

    refactoring.nvim is, that I know of, the closest we have to IDE-like refactoring features such as this, but does not have this feature. It would make C development much nicer imo. Perhaps a feature request there may gain traction.
  • What does it mean if TSNode:has_changes() returns true? (implementation of command-preview for refactoring.nvim)
    1 project | /r/neovim | 30 May 2023
    I'm trying to make a naive implementation of command-preview for refactoring.nvim. Currently, my naive implementation is working (since the changes made to a buffer for previewing are discarded by neovim, I'm executing the plugin regularly in order to preview the changes and when the user submits the command to make the changes).

    refactoring.nvim is one option. Unfortunately what powers VSCode is the proprietary PyLance and AFAIK there is no way to "Move symbol to file (method will be moved) [and have imports renamed subsequently]".

    Just a heads up, I added a lot of Ruby support in ThePrimeagen's Refactoring.nvim plugin some time ago. Covers a lot of what you've created and has support for lots of other languages too

    1 project | /r/neovim | 3 Feb 2023
    It's a pain to learn. I used the online playground and also read a lot of the queries from popular plugins. I contributed Ruby support to refactoring.nvim which helped me learn a tonne too
  • neovim-related: Are there good refactor plugin for elixir?
    2 projects | /r/elixir | 22 Dec 2022
    You might be able to take the ruby one and make an elixir one. It uses tree-sitter queries which you would need to align up with the elixir, but the syntax is kinda close. See https://github.com/ThePrimeagen/refactoring.nvim/blob/master/lua/refactoring/treesitter/langs/ruby.lua

    However, I made it faster for my use-case by changing some settings. Neovim allows to have these settings in the setup function for LSP. I was trying to figure out how do I change these settings with doom emacs. Pyright docs suggest to have these settings in pyrightconfig.json.

  • How do you enable semantic highlighting for Python?
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 7 Jul 2023
    Unfortunately, pyright explicitly stated that they are not interested in inlay hints or other language server features, that those will only be added to pylance. That's why I added it myself instead of submitting a pull request to pyright. See https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/issues/4325

    I prefer jedi over pyright as pyright has crippled documentation support outside of VSCode. I also found jedi is make correct suggestions based on inferred type in some situations where pyright would need type annotation to provide completions, pyright is significantly faster though. Jedi with mypy and flake8 is comparable to pyright I think, but unfortunately mypy wasn't working over tramp. Also isort wasn't working over tramp, but jedi, black, importmagic and flake8 all worked.
