vim-lsp

I use a plugin[0] for LSP in vim and it's pretty easy to setup there too. Installing and configuring the lsp software itself take more time as I'm constantly moving between OS. Also, Emacs and Vim is very much about making the tool your own. I don't mind shaving the yak every now and then, because once an inconvenience is solved, it stay solved.

I have https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp in my minimal config and pretty much the default configuration for it. I only use LSPs for completion, auto imports, rename, and goto definition (less useful when the project is small) and that has been enough for me.

Anyone who wants to get started with LSP in Vim8/9, I've found following plugins useful. a. https://github.com/yegappan/lsp [this is newer plugin and hence there few issues] b. https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp

Did you misspell "editor with language intelligence?" Because yeah, vim won't beat IntelliJ, but you can get it to be pretty decent with LSP: https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp

For the people responding to you who are saying you can get all the same things in vim, they're right of course, but a lot of this modern functionality is now built on top of the Language Server Protocol[1], which is an open standard created by microsoft for VS Code. Kudos on the people who have ported this to Vim[2], but I suspect the support for LSP features will still be better in VS Code [1] https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/ [2] https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp

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.

Multiple plugins are available to add LSP support in vim, such as coc.nvim (uses node.js, more features) or vim-lsp (lighter, written in vimscript). Neovim is also going to add native LSP support as well as tree-sitter in their 5.0 release, it's already available in nightly builds. The most straightforward option is probably coc.nvim, which tries to give a similar experience to VS Code out of the box. https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig https://github.com/neovim/neovim

If you keep up with the LSP space, this is now possible with Vim https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse.jdt.ls https://github.com/georgewfraser/java-language-server Are both good examples. You'll need a corresponding client like this one https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp There are others, but this one is pretty good. Next release of Neovim will have one built into the editor. Frankly, it's a bit of a hassle but once you get an LSP provider set up you can get one for just about any language you're using

There are a lot of ways to skin this particular cat. I've found vim-lsp is probably the best starting point, as you can plug any server you want into it, and have a consistent interface. https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp/wiki/Servers-Pytho...

nvim-langserver-shim internally uses an older version of https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp I'm hoping in couple of weeks vim-lsp will be stable and so that I can start contributing to nvim-langserver-shim. Currently I'm developing vim-lsp independently. It already works asynchronously in neovim and vim on windows, mac and linux. You can follow up with the discussion at https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/5522 (you can see some of the progress in thread in gifs)
