    Funny thing, I have totally found it out by accident, while looking through ycmd PRs and issues to check whether it supports LSP CodeActions provided by clangd. In this PR, which doesn't seem really ground-breaking, the maintainer mentioned that the code actions will be exposed via FixIt subcommand. I immediately switched to Vim to check whether it actually works, and BAH! There it is!

  • How to improve your vim/nvim coding experience with vim-easycomplete?

    There are many excellent vim auto-completion plugins such as nvim-cmp, vim-lsp, YouCompleteMe and coc.nvim etc. I used coc.nvim for a long time. It’s experience is good. But there are a few things I don’t like. These plugins tend to have too much dependencies and do not have minimal configuration. For example, I don't want to install Node when programming c++ or golang. In my opinion vim is more lightweight than vscode so I don’t need the fully integrated features of it. Besides other completion plugins neither have good experiences enough nor compatible with vim and nvim at the same time. Therefor I created vim-easycomplete according to my personal habits.
