Installation

This plugin doesn't work if zah's nim plugin is installed.

Dependencies

• Linux (OS X and Windows untested at the moment)

• Nim (0.13.0)

• Nimsuggest (0.13.0)

• Neovim (1.2) or Vim (7.4)

  • NOTE: Vim is not currently supporting async features

• Optional: vim-operator-user for defining routine text object

• Optional: unite-outline for jumping to symbols inside module

• Optional: YouCompleteMe for jumping to symbols inside module

• Optional: Neomake for compilation errors

Configuration

Easiest way to install this plugin is with a plugin manager:

vim-plug

Plug "baabelfish/nvim-nim"

neobundle

NeoBundle "baabelfish/nvim-nim"

pathogen

Caveats (Will be fixed asap)

• No support for main/project file yet
• Launching new nimsuggest for every completion
• Using stdio to communicate with nimsuggest
• Docstring is still missing
• Completion is a bit wonky with plain vim. Works well with YouCompleteMe

Planned features

• Debugger support
• Async autocomplete with deoplete (maybe a seperate plugin)
