vlime VS sidebar.nvim

https://github.com/vlime/vlime works for me fine

You should try out Vlime, it is a bit janky but it beats copy-pasting into a terminal any day.

Maybe you should stick to one new thing at a time. Vim is more than capable of handling Common Lisp. Look at Slimv and Vlime for vim-style SLIME. Focus on CL first. You can come back to Doom / Emacs later.

Neovim works just fine. I use Neoterm to send-to-repl, here's what my config looks like. Your other options include vlime and slimv. I switched to neoterm because it's simple, explicit, and doesn't create unpredictable windows. Works for any other language just as well.

A proper Neovim client for Slime or Sly. The closest is Vlime, but its UI is really janky.

Join me vim brother and don't settle for forcing yourself to use emacs while developing in CL when you don't have to! You even have two vim options! https://github.com/kovisoft/slimv and https://github.com/vlime/vlime with a great comparison of the two: https://susam.net/blog/lisp-in-vim.html

If you're interested more in Common Lisp, there's both vlime and vim-slime however I don't have any experience with them.

I think I'll dig at vimtutor within a few days, then. I've seen it mentioned a few times already, so now's a good time I reckon. Like you said, I'll be avoiding plugins, but with the guide I referenced, vlime is mentioned. You don't think that'll be too problematic on Windows, do you? I recall seeing that plenty of plugins don't work outside of linux. Thanks again, btw!

That's quite a tough question because different people appreciate different things about Emacs. Personally I use Neovim as my text editor with Vlime for live Common Lisp integration (works with Vim as well). Vlime uses the same backend as Slime for Emacs, so the features should be the same, even if the interface is different. I know there is also Slima for Atom, but I have never used Atom, so no idea how well it works.

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.
