vimr VS lsp-zero.nvim

For the commenters here: do we have something like VimR [1] for OSes other than the Mac that provides a file explorer sidebar with smaller font size (probably sans)?

I'm loading sessions at BufReadPost (also tried BufReadPre, which didn't work) instead of VimEnter because I couldn't find a way to find out the "true" CWD at VimEnter. I use VimR, which seems to launch nvim without any arguments even when I launch it from the command line like vimr path/to/file.ext or opening a file in macOS Finder, and set the CWD to $HOME instead of path/to. So at VimEnter, I'm only able to restore a session saved for $HOME, but not my project directory.

https://github.com/qvacua/vimr and https://github.com/qvacua/neovim/tree/5f8dd8c4a33203277cf6058f559383626411693d are good places to start

I've never tried a GUI version of Neovim, and this is the first I've heard of MacVim. Are you referring to VimR? If so, it seems like the problem could have been with the third party GUI software instead of the core Neovim software.

I'm using lsp-zero and i followed this tutorial https://github.com/VonHeikemen/lsp-zero.nvim/blob/v2.x/doc/md/guides/setup-with-nvim-jdtls.md and i have essentially just copy pasted the code from there into ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugin/jdtls.lua

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.

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.

Try https://github.com/VonHeikemen/lsp-zero.nvim, a great introduction and it is pretty usable without any further config

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.
