vim-go VS lsp-zero.nvim

There are a handful of really good go plugins that take care of this for you, such as https://github.com/ray-x/go.nvim or https://github.com/fatih/vim-go

With vim-go and snippets, neovim has almost the same functionality as GoLand

Neovim with its lsp integration. Yes, my configuration breaks whenever neovim is upgraded (it is < v1 after all). But usually I wait a little while, and then update plugins and I’m good to ‘go’. One very very good plug-in is https://github.com/fatih/vim-go. The wiki page has a suggested vimrc, which works very well to integrate things like identifier highlighting, and references.

with this wonderful plugin: https://github.com/fatih/vim-go

At first Ihad struggled with some common "IDE" tasks. But then I discovered vim-go and realized that it could do pretty much everything that I need and even more.

I use vim as an editor, and I think that vim-go (https://github.com/fatih/vim-go) is a huge help, if you use the "gd" shortcut to take you to where a variable, type or function is defined, and the ctrl-T shortcut to take you back. Use goimports (https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports) as the vim-go code formatter. This will keep imports up-to-date. There are some other vim-go features that may be helpful. You can have it highlight syntax errors, for example. Not every feature is helpful to every programmer, however.

Maybe there's a reason why this isn't possible, but if I compare this work-flow with something like https://github.com/fatih/vim-go I can use go-to-definition for everything (whether it be a third-party package or a standard library feature such as fmt.Printf).

Personally, i think nvim-lint is the best alternative currently, specially so because it has no dependencies on external binaries. This guide assumes you already have your LSP set up with nvim-lspconfig (or an alternative like lsp-zero). You should also have an way to install the linters you are gonna need, i highly recommend Mason with mason-lspconfig.

I went with a minimal approach ... I still use my `.vimrc` file, removed all code completion stuff and added LSP https://github.com/VonHeikemen/lsp-zero.nvim/blob/v2.x/doc/m... ... next step treesitter but i'm in no hurry :)

For those new to neovim, the documentation in lsp-zero has a tutorial that shows a configuration from scratch. It shows how to get a plugin a manager, a colorscheme, and setup lsp-zero.

https://github.com/VonHeikemen/lsp-zero.nvim for the win!

For neovim, you can still use the same extensions; however there's also a built-in LSP client. The downside of using the built-in is you'll need to have more extensions installed/configured to get all the features out of the box...BUT projects do exist to help simplify that, like lsp-zero.

lap-zero.nvim - default config for nvim-lspconfig, mason.nvim, nvim-cmp.

In version v2.x the keybindings you set on the "global" on_attach of lsp-zero should work without any extra config. v2.x also has a tutorial on how to work with nvim-jdtls: setup with nvim-jdtls

Creator of lsp-zero suggested a complete solution to use ray-x/lsp_signature in this issue: https://github.com/VonHeikemen/lsp-zero.nvim/issues/69.

I use lsp-zero which lets me handle lsp and completition easily as it bundles a bunch of plugins such as lsp-config, cmp and Mason. Here it is: https://github.com/VonHeikemen/lsp-zero.nvim
