  • 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.
