  • nvim-cmp

    A completion plugin for neovim coded in Lua.

  • For autocompletion I use the nvim-cmp plugin. If you're not coding, it might be overkill. But during writing it helps me a lot, because it autosuggests words that I used in the current buffer, too. The most popular autocomplete plugins should be compatible with the most popular snippets engines like vim-vsnip.

  • awesome-neovim

    Collections of awesome neovim plugins.

  • Read at least most of the manual for Neovim and for your terminal emulator or GUI and look over the plugins in awesome Neovim. That should solve everything you’re asking for. If you’re just starting with n/vim for any reason, whether it’s writing or programming, that’s what you should be doing

  • 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.

    Snippet plugin for vim/nvim that supports LSP/VSCode's snippet format.

  • For autocompletion I use the nvim-cmp plugin. If you're not coding, it might be overkill.

  • LanguageTool.nvim

    Discontinued An asynchronous grammar checker for Neovim using LanguageTool

  • For grammar/spell-checking I use LanguageTool as a standalone tool, but there's a neovim plugin for it, too.

  • vim-fountain

    A VIM syntax highlighting plugin for the Fountain screenplay format

  • goyo.vim

    :tulip: Distraction-free writing in Vim

  • For centering text(?) goyo.vim might be what you're looking for.

  • vim-synonym-lookup

    Synonym finder plugin for Vim

  • For synonyms you'll need a separate plugin. I don't personally use this functionality so not sure what plugins are good but a quick google came up with https://github.com/pixelneo/vim-synonym-lookup and https://github.com/beloglazov/vim-online-thesaurus.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
