  • How to configure vim like an IDE
    44 projects | /r/vim | 27 Jun 2023
    I'm not a fan of debuggers and whatnot, so I don't have anything for that, but I use zig.vim for Zig/C/C++/Obj. C/anything else integration like highlighting. Additionally, vim-scripts/a.vim can be used for alternating between implementation/header files. I don't use it myself but vim-snippets can be used for common snippets.
  • Porting a simple Mark-Sweep Garbage Collector to Zig

    Out of the box Vim works well enough as an editor for Zig but the experience is a bit underwhelming. So I installed the Vim configuration for Zig plugin get syntax highlighting.

    About the fast zig check, looking around the the zig.vim plugin code, I think it would be zig fmt --ast-check.

  • Set compiler from lua
    1 project | /r/neovim | 20 Aug 2021
    Currently there is no lua api for this command, so if you want a lua solution you would need to reimplement the functionality or reimplement the stuff inside this folder https://github.com/ziglang/zig.vim/tree/master/compiler

  • I use the default file browser in vim (netrw). I know there are plugins that a lot of people like. Should I switch?
    9 projects | /r/vim | 29 Jun 2023
    I personally use nerdtree. Add nerdtree-git-plugin too, that's nice when looking at your project (for files, use vim-gitgutter).

    2) Syntax check https://github.com/vim-syntastic/syntastic 3) File navigation https://github.com/preservim/nerdtree 4) Autocomplete There are many autocomplete extensions. I haven't found one that I feel comfortable to recommend. Another way is to create a txt file with all the key words and lines in the languages you use, make an autocommand that adds the txt file to the buffer, and then use ctrl-n or ctrl-p to autocomplete. You can also use ctrl-x-ctrl-l to autocmplete entire lines. 5) Running code Add commands in your .vmrc to run the current file as a a whatever file. I use :J to run java files, :P to run python files, :C to run c files and so on. For example, this is my command to run a java file: command J execute "!java %:t"

    My basic vim workflow is that I open vim, which opens NerdTree for me by default. I can find the file I want in NerdTree, or I can hit Ctrl+p to open a file with fuzzy searching.
  • How do you work with buffers?
    16 projects | /r/neovim | 1 Feb 2023
    What's also useful is to have a tree plugin (such as nvim-tree or nerdtree), so you can just open any file in the workspace (or outside it) if needed. That way, even if you delete a buffer, you can just come back to a file whose buffer you deleted.

    Worth noting Nerdtree’s repo is now at https://github.com/preservim/nerdtree and not at https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree
