supertab VS tagbar

vim-lsp and ccls, supertab for auto-completion

supertab? (one of the "install and forget" plugins I'm using for years)

Extra: for extra intellisense, you can use https://github.com/dense-analysis/ale (I don't - I like to stick to vanilla Vim as much as possible), https://github.com/ervandew/supertab (for completions using TAB instead of Ctrl-P), and https://github.com/jiangmiao/auto-pairs (automatic bracket insertion).

Currently I use supertab : https://github.com/ervandew/supertab

There are plugins that may improve this experience for you, like supertab, vimcompletesme, or vim-mucomplete. You can find more completion plugins here.

Check this plugin: https://github.com/preservim/tagbar

Are you looking for https://vim-taglist.sourceforge.net/ or https://github.com/preservim/tagbar

I ended up finding https://github.com/preservim/tagbar and like it so far

I also recommend you https://github.com/preservim/tagbar with https://ctags.io/ installed , it will map definitions (functions, enum, struct etc..) to tags and tagbar plugin allows you to open a split window with the mapped list and navigate through your file, it also enabled more advanced features for quick navigation .

Also not that useful for text files I think, but I sometimes use something like https://github.com/preservim/tagbar to get an overview of the structure of the file, especially in unfamiliar documents. This is a quite old plugin of this nature that depends on ctags, there are more modern plugins that depend on treesitter. However for C++, I found the treesitter based bar plugins not as helpful, they need language specific settings, and the ones I tried didn't have them for C++ at the time.

Having said this, there are some useful language independent extensions: jiangmiao/auto-pairs, tpope/vim-commentary, preservim/tagbar, junegunn/vim-peekaboo

Hey, I checked out tagbar plugin. It's really cool. It supports most of the languages. But the ones that needs to be configured, are mentioned in their wiki. It mentions vimscript in it. What will be the lua version of following vimscript?
