Vim – Minimal Setup Explained

• vim-sensible

  27 5,055 0.0 Vim Script

  sensible.vim: Defaults everyone can agree on

• fzf.vim

• ctags

  33 6,304 9.7 C

  A maintained ctags implementation

  

Vim supports ctgs[0] lookup out of the box which fits your need somewhat.

I tend to use FZF[1] which has functions for leveraging ripgrep and silver surfer for searches. It can also use find. FZF also has dialogues for paring down results in real time (i.e., as you type)

There are also plugins that are much more nuanced and more involved for searching symbols and providing autocomplete. Duoplete, vimcomplete, youcompleteme spring to mind.

• vim-gutentags

  18 2,260 1.3 Vim Script

  A Vim plugin that manages your tag files

You can then use :cnext and :cprev (or focusing the window and selecting an entry) to navigate between them.

As others have stated, you can also use ctags (plugins like https://github.com/ludovicchabant/vim-gutentags are useful for refreshing tags in a project), but for some languages you may need to add a tag definition (e.g. for something like rust or zig). For older languages like C you should be fine.

• vimrc

  1 131 1.8 Vim Script

  Basic vim configuration for your .vimrc (by sheerun)

• nvim-lspconfig

  523 9,585 9.7 Lua

  Quickstart configs for Nvim LSP

  

> And neovim is heavily embracing the LSP paradigm, where you'd use something like gd to jump to definition when on top of a function and a language specific LSP server will tell Neovim where to jump to.

This x100. I switched to neovim+pylsp a few months ago, and it's been an absolute delight. I use lspconfig [1] and pyslp [2] since most of my time is spent developing Python code. Not only can I navigate more quickly and easily, I also find myself catching more silly errors before run-time due to better linting from the lsp.

It used to be that I wouldn't use vim beyond quick edits on single files. Although I still prefer to use vim style bindings in IDEs, I can go much further before I feel the need to fire up an IDE in the first place.
