rust-tools.nvim VS helix

This is not a robust solution to the problem. I haven't worked on a large Rust project, so I do not know if this is valid for all kinds of Rust projects. Maybe there is a better debugging config setups/plugins out there (simrat39/rust-tools.nvim is one from what I have searched for). I plan to keep using this config, till it breaks; and try and fix it when it does.

rust-tools is what I'm currently using, https://github.com/simrat39/rust-tools.nvim

I then took the snippet from, I also changed the path to the correct install path of the above. https://github.com/simrat39/rust-tools.nvim/wiki/Debugging

rust-tools.nvim and crates.nvim should be helpful for you. :)

I'd start with nvim-treesitter, nvim-lspconfig, and use rust-tools.nvim as an accelerant. Any remaining advice I'd have is about Neovim but not about Rust. That advice would also be mostly questions of taste for this-or-that decisions.

Are you using https://github.com/simrat39/rust-tools.nvim/ ?

TIL that if you install Rust via Homebrew (like brew install rust), auto formatting (or more specifically, lsp formatting) doesn't work properly. I used both Rust Analyzer and rust-tools) to setup rust lsp and configured it with tons of options, thinking maybe something will work but somehow, one thing never did - auto formatting. This is the command I use for setting up auto formatting via lsp:

neovim + native lsp with rust-tools.nvim, running nixos so I use flakes for my dev environments

I opened an issue https://github.com/simrat39/rust-tools.nvim/issues/369 after searching for such behavior in existing ones. But I also ask here in case it's a known problem.

Nice post. Obligatory Helix plug: For anyone interested in taking this further, there are whole editors designed around multi-cursor editing.

I could never turn it off completely but I do sometimes use the Acme theme during the day (it's too bright in the evening), which highlights just comments, strings, and errors.

You can use a snippet LSP to work around Helix not having a built-in LSP manager. They're listed in https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/395

I'm probably not the average python programmer.

But I normally just create two terminals (I have a tiling window manager) and in one I open a python file under /tmp/ write my code and execute it in the other terminal.

I would probably use a REPL if it was integrated in my favorite editor ( https://helix-editor.com ).

Wow, that's been there a while: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/commit/35c974c9c49f912...

Wonder how I missed that. I'm getting a re-education in helix today -- thank you! I'll go through `hx --tutor` again before I insert any more feet in my mouth.

Interesting to see how they are gonna approach integrating plugins/extensions system, because this is likely gonna be one of the major factors affecting adoption and ecosystem growth.

Helix devs, for instance, lean towards a Scheme-like implementation. [1]
