nvim-config VS nvim-dap

If u decided to keep using nvim, u can checkout my config here. I wrote a util that makes it ez to setup lsp, and i put them in my dotfiles repo which makes it ez to sync between my mac and school ubuntu server. There’s also lsp-zero which sets up completion and lsp all at once for u. There’s also many distros u can use which provide a starting point with preconfigured plugins and stuff.

Well after rewriting my config from scratch after using neovim for almost a year, my config is actually stable and pretty organized. I tried lsp-zero but i found it hard to fine tune the ui stuff, so i wrote a little util that’s basically lsp-zero without cmp. Here’s my config.

Modified, One Dark Pro (love the vscode theme but the nvim plugin got some sus highlights so i modified it)

There are DAP extensions for both Vim (e.g. https://github.com/puremourning/vimspector) and NeoVim (https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap). I can't speak as to the experience in detail (I think I briefly played with nvim-dap a year or two ago), but I suspect that for most it will be good enough.

Also, you can set up debugger integration with https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap .

You could use nvim-dap with nvim-dap-python.

I'd suggest starting with a Neovim distro that makes things work for you and as you get familiar you can transition to a more custom configuration as you see fit. If you want to do it by yourself then the most popular plugin for debugging in Neovim is nvim-dap and there is also an extension for Python to give you a more ready to go config instead of doing it yourself. You should read the docs of those 2 to see how you should customize accordingly your configuration.

(neovim only) nvim-dap

https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap + https://github.com/theHamsta/nvim-dap-virtual-text should be able to do it, I think?

If you want to debug types in TypeScript, you could use marilari88/twoslash-queries.nvim. If you would like to debug TypeScript/JavaScript code, then you need mfussenegger/nvim-dap, you could read this article: Debugging using DAP to understand how to set up it.
