  • neovim

    Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability

  • You can get inline hints in neovim using https://github.com/lvimuser/lsp-inlayhints.nvim with a patched version of neovim (patch https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/20130 into latest nightly)

  • lsp-inlayhints.nvim

  • If I understand correctly what you ask for, there's this plug-in: https://github.com/lvimuser/lsp-inlayhints.nvim. There's even a branch for anticonceal (between words instead of end of line) but it does not seem to be maintained anymore.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • lsp_signature.nvim

    LSP signature hint as you type

  • Tried poking around, but could make anything work. I even installed ray-x/lsp_signature.nvim by mistake, and kept it because it's pretty good.

  • clangd_extensions.nvim

    Clangd's off-spec features for neovim's LSP client. Use https://sr.ht/~p00f/clangd_extensions.nvim instead

  • There are a plugins like clang extensions that offers such features.

  • nvim-lspconfig

    Quickstart configs for Nvim LSP

  • It was an example, here’s a list

  • inlay-hints.nvim

    almost not wip

  • Another I haven't tried and probably dead project: https://github.com/simrat39/inlay-hints.nvim
