  • Compiler plugin and Errorformat for CMake
    1 project | /r/neovim | 24 Mar 2022
    I haven't actually tried this myself but I think you will need to add patterns to errorformat to match against the CMake error/warning output. There are plugins that parse CMake output and add entries to the quickfix list like vim-cmake. I'm not sure if they are using additional errorformat patterns or parsing the output independently but it's worth a look.

  • New year and new vim (aka NeoVim)
    15 projects | /r/neovim | 1 Jan 2023
    The plugin is here and adds features like kits, customizable build types, support for running ctest, automatic updates/restarts of clangd LSP server and also provides some functions that allow cool plugin customization. Basically, you get features that are mostly equivalent with features from the plugin I used in vim, but implemented in Lua. Feel free to test it out. Note that I only tested it on my machine (M1Pro mac) and in one Linux container, so expect bugs, crashes and various errors. Feel free to post issues and PRs with fixes.
  • New plugin for gtest integration with vim
    4 projects | /r/vimplugins | 12 Nov 2022
    The plugin depends on cmake4vim (a plugin for CMake integration with Vim/Neovim), this allowed to have deeper integration of gtest-vim for CMake projects (you can just switch between CMake targets in order to run different tests).
  • CMake4Vim update
    5 projects | /r/vim | 16 Aug 2021
    Around the year ago, I have posted the last post about cmake4vim plugin updates.
  • Can you recommend a good Vim configuration for C++ Development for a complete rookie?
    5 projects | /r/vim | 2 Aug 2021
    CMake integration: https://github.com/ilyachur/cmake4vim
  • Creating shortcuts for Dispatch
    2 projects | /r/vim | 22 Feb 2021
    Not sure if you want to add a other plugin, but I've had good results with cmake4vim. It integrates with Dispatch if it's installed.
  • Is there a way to get command mode out colour output like on the terminal?
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 19 Jan 2021
    Good question! And for Cmake projects I really like the cmake4vim plugin from ilyachur. https://github.com/ilyachur/cmake4vim
  • Equivalent method for IDE "run" with Vim / general help
    1 project | /r/vim | 6 Jan 2021
    I think, that you can do such 'advanced' features without used plugins. Concerning my C++ workflow, I'm using it with Cmake and https://github.com/ilyachur/cmake4vim plugin adds the possibility to compile it in a few commands. Also, I've added a feature to run the CMake target with the use of one command and hope, that soon it will be merged.
  • Cmake4vim Plugin Which Integrates Cmake Into Vim
