vim-python-pep8-indent VS lsp-format.nvim

Interesting. I’ve always used default auto-indenting and explicitly turn it off in Treesitter as I’ve found it messes it up. The ultimately improvement for me has been this plugin.

Use Vimjas/vim-python-pep8-indent and forget about all your Python headaches.

I've always been very happy with vim-python-pep8-indent. But you need to enable additional_vim_regex_highlighting in treesitter which currently does not play well with spell being on. Alternatively you can rely on the indent feature of treesitter but it's currently experimental and has some issues with python: * https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter/issues/4651 * https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter/issues/4650

Try this plugin for python indentation

A good old indentation plugin vim-python-pep8-indentation

The only thing that worked really well for me and which I still use is https://github.com/Vimjas/vim-python-pep8-indent

https://github.com/Vimjas/vim-python-pep8-indent works well, but it's slow.

Python requires a third party plugin to be usable, WTF?

suffice it to say, I haven't needed to mess with it in a very long time, and it works very nicely and smoothly. I based it on https://github.com/lukas-reineke/lsp-format.nvim back before he extracted that plugin from his dotfiles, but over time I added a lot.

Ok guys I solved it by using this wonderful plugin https://github.com/lukas-reineke/lsp-format.nvim . Apparently it had something to do with setting up my autosave from null-ls but can't be sure. Anyways, solved.

My first reaction is to set a buffer-exclusive autocmd on lsp attach to call vim.lsp.buf.format(), that should work if you don't want depdenencies. Another way to go is https://github.com/lukas-reineke/lsp-format.nvim, it's a thin wrapper around nvim's format and can provide format on save.

Use lsp-format.nvim and put null-ls on the blacklist.

If you already use metals as a language server, it looks like scalafmt support is already built in. If you're using metals in Neovim but not getting formatting, check your lsp configuration. Alternatively, use lsp-format.nvim to ensure formatting happens. That goes for using it with null-ls, too.

Thanks! One additional question, I'm using lsp-format. And to use it, I just

My plugin lukas-reineke/lsp-format.nvim does that. It wraps around the built-in LSP formatting with a couple opinionated improvements.

You can take a look at my plugin LSP-format.nvim for a bit more robust solution to async format on save. But it will also write the file twice. There is currently no other way to do this.

I recommend instead using lsp-format.nvim to manage multiple LSP clients trying to format.
