vim-sleuth VS nvim-treesitter

In addition to setting tabstop and shiftwidth, you might also like this plugin: https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth

vim-sleuth auto detects tab size so...

Just add https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth and never worry about it again.

At the end of the day I don't really care which a project goes with, I've always just used vim-sleuth to automatically set my tab key to input whatever the current file's indentation is.

VsCode has an internal function from auto-detecting indentation, while my config uses vim-sleuth with indent-blankline.nvim.

If you work a lot on legacy codebases, https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth is probably more what you need than editorconfig, as it will work even when one is not present.

The primary advantage of using it is that it has built in heuristics for detecting line wrapping when opening a file (with some Treesitter magic for Markdown to make it more accurate), and also allows for manual swapping between wrapping types. You can think of it as the wrapping equivalent to vim-sleuth.

I just found about Tim Pope's sleuth: https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth It supports editorconfig but it also seems to have just better heuristics when an editorconfig file isn't present, so I just decided to replace `editorconfig-vim` with it.

Another solution is try sleuth.vim, that sets automatically your indentation based on the project, buffer and editorconfig

I suggest looking for blog posts about this, you're gunnuh wanna pick out a plugin manager and stuff. It's kind of like a package manager for neovim. You can install everything manually but usually you manually install a plugin manager and it gives you commands to manage the rest of your plugins.

These two plugins are the bare minimum in my view.

Treesitter gives you much better syntax highlighting based on a parser for a given language.

https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig

This plugin helps you connect to a given language LSP quickly with sensible defaults. You more or less pick your language from here and copy paste a snippet, and then install the relevant LSP:

For Python you'll want pylsp. For JavaScript it will depend on what frontend framework you're using, I probably can't help you there.

pylsp itself takes some plugins and you'll probably want them. https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server

Best of luck! Happy hacking.

It was changed in https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter/commit/78b54eb

https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp This is an autocompletion engine https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter This allows NeoVim to install parsing scripts so NeoVim can do things like code highlighting. https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim Not strictly necessary, but allows you to access a repo of LSP, install them, and configure them for without you actively messing about in config files. https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig Also not strictly necessary, but vastly simplifies LSP setup. https://github.com/williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim This lets the above two plugins talk to each other more easily.

Change the compiler to use 'llvm' and install visual studio build tools command line stuff - at least that is what worked for me without problems. If you are using c++ then I would assume you have visual studio installed already. If you need more info follow the treesitter windows support

After a lot of time spent yesterday I took a fresh look today and then thought to myself - what if this is what TS does by design? A few clicks later and I found this https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter/issues/1327

I've followed the official guide for nvim-treesitter support on Windows, but I'm having problems making it work. I keep getting a compilation error for any parser I try to install using TSInstall. If instead I use TSInstallSync I don't get errors but the parser is not correctly installed. My setup uses lazyvim and I installed LLVM using winget to have a C compiler.

I have read that gcc in windows doesn't always provide the necessary support for treesitter. I have seen ppl prefer clang over gcc in Windows. Please see also Windows support in treesitter's repo. Unfortunately I cannot help further as I don't use Windows for coding, but hope you can deduce something to solve your problem from the above link (if you haven't already read through it).
