This has less to do with vim than with Terraforms poor LSP support. Vim/Neovim has had LSP support for some time with plugins and now built in natively. I use COC vim as it's the fastest to get started and I rarely have to do much config as it's based on VSCode and comes with sane bindings for go-to-def, refactoring and more. https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig You can try to use either of these implementations: https://github.com/juliosueiras/terraform-lsp https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-ls These are both fairly limited but you can see every editor (except intellij) uses this under the hood. I've used them at companies with 300+ terraform repos and have never had much of an issue navigating/understanding TF through Vim.

I don't see why you would write a plugin in VimL nowadays. I mean even VimL's author decided to just create a new language — vim9 script — instead of fixing this one [1]. With neovim rpc you can write glorious plugins in TypeScript and Python such as coc.nvim [2]. Other than that, I'm inspired by amount of work you put in the project.

ducktective·Jan 26, 2021Recommendation phrase
For anyone who is new to vim and wants a more-or-less OOTB auto-complete, auto-format experience, I recommend https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim As for neovim, personally, I don't find a reason to switch. They say integrated LSP is coming in their next release but I don't see how that approach could be better than CoC's tracking of VSCode as upstream and bringing all the goodies of that high man-hours product. What makes me consider switching, is a practical exclusive feature like that Tree-Sitter algorithm for syntax-highlighting that neovim team is touting or at least a concrete and reproducible performance benchmark against the regular vim in their usecase scenarios (startup-time, long logs, diffs, binary editing, etc).
