vim-quickui VS sidebar.nvim

I agree with the article. Turbo Pascal was terrific. There is some kind of psychological thing that has me using neovim in a terminal all the time for many years.

I guess it's convenient for ssh. But I miss the conveniences of Borland IDEs. Even last night I was working on a web application and was tempted to add a menu at the top of the page, remembering how useful they were back in Turbo Pascal and such.

I did a Google search and found this https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui

skywind3000/vim-quickui

You can see this project to base yourself: https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui

maybe not directly related to the question, this project makes vim look like TurboC, the author mentions, that he has configuration that does so. https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui

would love to see - cascading menu - ability to click in menu like in https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui/

Are you familiar with https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui ? Maybe you will find some inspiration there.

I assume you mean something similar to the GUI menubar in emacs? Currently this isn't possible in rust, which is what we use, but its somewhat possible within vim as well (https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui). Considering vim is very keyboard centric, a gui menu doesn't appeal to me much

I guess he was using this plugin: https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui

Maybe this will help a bit, this person made a lot of really cool Vim UI components, like a Preview window. https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui#preview-window

A file tree doesn't really provide me with any important information and I think that's the case with most people. I looked for a plugin that would help me build my own sidebar and I discovered sidebar.nvim. It isn't the most actively developed plugin out there, but I haven't ran into any issues either. The plugin basically allows users to build a sidebar similar to how lualine builds statuslines.

Maybe you can use ldelossa/litee.nvim or sidebar-nvim/sidebar.nvim

I'm not sure, and I'd like to know myself. You might, however, be interested in sidebar.nvim.

There is Litee's Calltree but I couldn't make it work. For C/C++, there is the Vim-Ccls plugin that adds those functionalities (although I don't like the UI). But in order to use it I had to switch from Clangd to Ccls and it broke the symbol tree of 2 plugins I had : Sidebar.nvim (which I actively used) and symbols-outline.nvim (an old plugin I tried to use again, but is broken by the change as well).

Oh gosh… make it compatible with sidebar's sections. You'll get plenty of content automatically.

If it's the same issue as in this issue , then it should be fixed in the dev branch.
