@pardom thanks! Yeah I’m transitioning to another company (away from Clojure/Clojurescript [unfortunately]) and to Kotlin / JS / React. I know they’re all using IntelliJ over there and figured I’d go that route…

Yeah, IntelliJ + Vim Emulation is pretty terrific. I do use Vim for browsing Kotlin code or making quick edits, though.

Yeah that’s what I figured I’d be doing. That’s awesome, I appreciate the heads up. I don’t think I could hack it without a little vim in my life…. 😉

@pardom another stupid question, I’ve never used IntelliJ, does everyone have to purchase it [or subscribe]? I’m sure my new job will, but for personal use I’m still a little confused. And honestly a little lazy just looking at their offerings…

No, the Community Edition is free and has just about anything you’ll want.

If you require plugins for frameworks like Spring, you’ll need the paid version.

Gotcha! Thanks for the tip, much appreciated!!

(definitely scared of living in a vim-less world over here)

@hunter you should check out https://github.com/Valloric/dotfiles/blob/master/intellij/ideavimrc and https://github.com/junegunn/dotfiles/blob/master/ideavimrc for some ideas on how to manage it

@jacob nice thanks!

ok, thanks to some pretty brilliant work from fwcd and georgewfraser, I've managed to use their languageserver impl to get autocompletion and errors etc. in vim now: https://github.com/fwcd/KotlinLanguageServer

I’m using this plus https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp/

hi

I actually joined here just for asking about the Langauge Server and how to successfully have it running in vim

is installing the plugin through Vundle not enough? like here https://vimawesome.com/plugin/kotlinlanguageserver

do I still have to go through this? https://github.com/fwcd/KotlinLanguageServer/blob/master/BUILDING.md

Is there a way to find out and configure, which version of Kotlin does this language server uses? https://github.com/fwcd/kotlin-language-server

I'm using https://github.com/fwcd/kotlin-language-server, mostly for code completion, and I noticed that for me, the language server doesn't find any

kotlin.test.*

imports. I thought I would open an issue on the github page, but to be a bit more constructive, I also thought I would try to fix the issue, offering up a pull request. From what I can see in the server code, the server both checks the project files (I'm using Gradle) and the installation path of

kotlinc

to find dependencies to add to the analyzer's classpath, but I'm unsure of the order and conditions for this process. Could someone give me a hint? Btw, if someone knows of a better chat channel for kotlin-language-server questions, either in this Slack or somewhere else, please provide it and I'll go there instead.

this is nice http://karolis.koncevicius.lt/posts/porn_zen_and_vimrc/

wondering what the heck is going on with the second tip, it doesn’t read like it would do what its description says

you write Kotlin for the server @Hans Ellegard?

Hi all! I'm quite happily using kotlin-vim (with coc set up) but there is one annoying thing, I wonder if others are seeing this also:

Basically, with triple-quoted multi-line strings containing json the highlighting fails.

While this is something I could live with normally, it has an effect on other plugins I do rely on a lot, like vim-easy-align.

Does anyone know this problem, and maybe a fix for it?

It must have to do with the quoting, because if I just use some "regular" text like lorem ipsum the problem doesn't show.

fwiw this helps: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27235102/vim-randomly-breaks-syntax-highlighting

In java,

import foo.bar.Baz

tells me that I can find the

Baz

source code in

…/foo/bar/Baz.java

. However, in Kotlin I might have multiple classes per file, or maybe I'm importing an extension function, it's no longer clear which file I actually have to look in to find the definition. How do you handle this? This is really more of a #codingconventions question, but I suspect I'm going to get a bunch of "it doesn't bother me; I just

<Ctrl-b>

in IntelliJ" answers, whereas folks here might care more.

I assume this is the channel for the ideavim plugin? Anyone knows how can I map normal mode in kotlin notebook to simply pressing "enter" key?
