Vim distros: LunarVim, AstroVim, IdeaVim, … how they differ one each other?
3 projects | /r/vim | 24 Mar 2023

The only Vim distro I'm aware of is SpaceVim (https://spacevim.org/). I just tested it for a short time but it couldn't compete with my hand crafted settings ;-) But I'm using some of the plugins of SpaceVim in my setup, eg. vim-which-key and vista.vim.
is anyone using preservim/tagbar with typescript?
3 projects | /r/neovim | 5 Mar 2023

Once you have LSP setup, vista can display known LSP symbols like tagbar should.

Does anyone have tailwindcss lsp working properly?
2 projects | /r/neovim | 25 Apr 2023

I use navgiator.lua to manage my lsp servers. You can find my lsp file here. I have the tailwindcss lsp server loaded, but I don't see any auto-completion. I even tried to manually load it with lspconfig like: lua require("lspconfig").tailwindcss.setup({}) and it still doesn't work. I then watched this video to see if I'm doing anything wrong, and it looks like I'm not. Can someone show their config with a working tailwindcss lsp server?

Multi-cursor in place renaming symbol with preview
2 projects | /r/neovim | 7 Nov 2022

navigator.lua used to override vim.ui.input with guihua.lua input window to provide a GUI prompet for renaming. Inspired by inc-rename plugin smjonas/inc-rename.nvim, now, user can preview rename in the current buffer will be displayed in runtime with navigator.lua.
Is there a plugin like navigator.lua without the full LSP package?
2 projects | /r/neovim | 2 Nov 2022

I really want to try the LSP refernces window in navigator.lua but I don't want it to "take over" my lsp setup. Is there an alternative plugin?

https://github.com/ray-x/navigator.lua also provides treesitter/Lsp outline.
Looking for treesitter-based (but not LSP-based) plugins with commands like "hover documentation"
4 projects | /r/neovim | 7 Jul 2022

[ray-x/navigator.lua](https://github.com/ray-x/navigator.lua) requires LSP for lots of things, including go-to-definition (ABICT from [looking at the code](https://github.com/ray-x/navigator.lua/blob/4c5d0e67d0ca05dbbf6cdcc89b0546a5872bdbca/lua/navigator/definition.lua#L150-L162)). Even the docs seem to say that an LSP server is required.
What is the most impressive usage of Treesitter have you ever seen?
6 projects | /r/neovim | 5 Jul 2022

navigator.lua: use treesitter to analysis symbol scope/context, Also a treesitter based folding (a modified version of official ts folding) foldts it provides a vs-code style of folding. Document treesitter symbol outline etc.
