    Also, I'm using vim-snipmate style snippets in LuaSnip. How can I import snippets in javascript.snippets in html.snippetswithout having to copy everything.
  • Can anybody give me some review of coq_nvim :>
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 3 Dec 2022
    cmp works fine and I was able to trivially make it only suggest lsp completion for me by only including lsp sources. The setup is significantly more complicated with having the install 7ish plugins instead of just 3 for coq. I don't think I would've had the patient to go through the setup when I was just starting to use neovim. cmp also have much nicer UI (e.g. it shoulds documentation and sometimes function signiture as you browse through the suggestion.) With snippet you can find something like https://github.com/honza/vim-snippets which have more than what I need. You also need to choose a snippet engine so that's more decision to make.

  • Is There a Snippet Collection for LuaSnip?
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 29 Apr 2022
    Since LuaSnip also supports snipmate I'm using vim-snippets since it's offering a lot of snippets I'm using often without having to write my own. But as @eliizaak said: it's not Lua and perhaps I'll find the time and energy to learn a bit more about LuaSnip and write my own snippets ... ;)

  • Do Vim Snippets work in Obsidian?
    2 projects | /r/ObsidianMD | 24 Oct 2021
    Skimming over the blog post you linked, it appears that the author uses Vim plugins to get some of the snippets working, which I'm near-certain is impossible with the Vim features available to Obsidian. I don't think installing Vim plugins with vim-plug (as used by both myself and the author of the linked blog) is possible in Obsidian, for example. Without some way to manage installing Vim plugins, you won't be able to get plugins which enable vim snippets as used in the blog post.

  • How to automatically include C headers in vim?
    2 projects | /r/C_Programming | 29 Jul 2021
    Auto adding include files or a specific non-static function is generally a bad idea, but I use yasnippet on Emacs for copyright/licensing info, this seemingly has the same purpose but oriented towards vim users, which makes file templates trivial (on Emacs at least, I don’t usually use vim unless I can’t use Emacs or mg for some reason).

  • Any Suggestions Apart from vscode for Terraform ?
    1 project | /r/Terraform | 2 Jul 2023
    The person who mentored me the most when I was getting started with Terraform used VIM with pathogen but honestly this isn't a great idea unless you're really invested in a VIM workflow.
  • pathogen-vim for Vim-airline plugin
    1 project | /r/vim | 31 Dec 2022
    I'm no networking expert, but I think something is wrong with the URL being accessed to download the file. To simplify, just go inside the ~/.vim/autoload folder, create a file named pathogen.vim, open the file, paste the contents of this file and save.
  • Vim or Emacs?
    2 projects | /r/vim | 30 Dec 2022
    I am a bit confused. What has this anything to do with your original question? vim-pathogen is for Vim editor itself, not for PyCharm. I don't know much about MacOS, so not sure how to help. Did you try the installation steps at https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen ?
  • Usage of 'after/ftplugin' directory for filetype-specific configuration
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 2 Sep 2022
    Back in the old(ish) days of Vim, usage of tpope/vim-pathogen to manipulate runtimepath was a popular way to install plugins. As it got update 9 days ago, it might be still used by some.

    To install any plugin using Pathogen plugin manager, you need to configure PAthogen in your vimrc if you have not done it already. You can find the installation docs on Pathogen.vim. After Pathogen has been configured in your vimrc, you can clone the git repository of that plugin into your local machine and then activate it using Pathogen.

    With vim 7.4, there was some tuning to do to manage the runtime path, that's why there are a bunch of plugin managers out there, like the minimalistic, solid vim-pathogen by Tim Pope (again!), vundle, then asynchronous and fast dein, and my favorite Vim-Plug.
  • I am new to Vim and my directory is a mess

    I think that's it... it's a very easy and light-weight setup using pathogen in my opinion. Vim now has its own package management built-in, but I still find pathogen easier. Also, you can skip the $HOME env var if you want... I just like giving Vim and other $HOME respecting programs their own place because c:\Users\ is usually filled with other junk.
