neovim
support for the Lean Theorem Prover <https://leanprover.github.io/lean4/doc/>
_.
https://github.com/Julian/lean.nvim/assets/329822/87f773a1-17b9-4938-b933-4f260f4228cd
lean.nvim
supports the latest stable neovim release (currently 0.10.x) as well as the latest nightly.
This matches what neovim itself supports upstream, which often guides what plugins end up working with.
If you are on an earlier version of neovim, e.g. 0.9.5
, you can have your plugin manager install the nvim-0.9 <https://github.com/Julian/lean.nvim/releases/tag/nvim-0.9>
_ tag until you upgrade.
Install via your favorite plugin manager.
For example with lazy.nvim <https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim>
_:
.. code:: lua
{
'Julian/lean.nvim',
event = { 'BufReadPre *.lean', 'BufNewFile *.lean' },
dependencies = {
'neovim/nvim-lspconfig',
'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim',
-- you also will likely want nvim-cmp or some completion engine
},
-- see details below for full configuration options
opts = {
lsp = {},
mappings = true,
}
}
or with vim-plug <https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug>
_:
.. code:: vim
Plug 'Julian/lean.nvim'
Plug 'neovim/nvim-lspconfig'
Plug 'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'
" Optional Dependencies:
Plug 'hrsh7th/nvim-cmp' " For LSP completion
Plug 'hrsh7th/cmp-nvim-lsp'
Plug 'hrsh7th/cmp-buffer'
Plug 'hrsh7th/vim-vsnip' " For snippets
Plug 'andrewradev/switch.vim' " For Lean switch support
Plug 'tomtom/tcomment_vim' " For commenting motions
Plug 'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim' " For Loogle search
lean.nvim
already includes syntax highlighting and Lean filetype support, so installing the lean.vim
(i.e. non-neovim) plugin is not required or recommended.
Abbreviation (unicode character) insertion (in insert mode & the command window accessible via q/
)
An infoview which can show persistent goal, term & tactic state, as well as interactive widget <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NUBQEZYuis>
_ support (which should function for most widgets renderable as text)
Hover (preview) commands:
:LeanGoal
for showing goal state in a preview window
:LeanTermGoal
for showing term-mode type information in a preview window
switch.vim <https://github.com/AndrewRadev/switch.vim/>
_ base definitions for Lean
Simple snippets (in VSCode-compatible format <https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/userdefinedsnippets#_snippet-syntax>
, usable with e.g. vim-vsnip <https://github.com/hrsh7th/vim-vsnip>
)
Lean library search path access via lean.current_search_path()
, suitable for use with e.g. telescope.nvim <https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim/>
for
live grepping.
See the wiki for a sample configuration <https://github.com/Julian/lean.nvim/wiki/Configuring-&-Extending#live-grep>
.
If telescope.nvim <https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim>
_ is present a :Telescope loogle
command is available as a frontend for the Loogle <https://loogle.lean-lang.org>
JSON API.
If satellite.nvim <https://github.com/lewis6991/satellite.nvim>
__ is present an extension is registered for showing progress information for the whole document.
Otherwise, we show progress information in the sign column.
The short version -- if you followed the instructions above for lazy.nvim
, simply ensure your opts
table contains at least an lsp
table defining on_attach
to be your preferred LSP attach handler, and mappings = true
to enable key mappings, as shown in the example above.
Note that in particular your on_attach
handler should likely bind things like vim.lsp.buf.code_action
(AKA "the lightbulb") to ensure that you have easy access to code actions in Lean buffers.
In particular, Lean (or really Std
) uses code actions for replacing "Try this:" suggestions, which you will almost certainly want to be able to perform.
If you do not already have a preferred setup which includes LSP key mappings and (auto)completion, you may find the fuller example here in the wiki <https://github.com/Julian/lean.nvim/wiki/Getting-Started-From-the-Ground-Up>
_ helpful.
If you are using another plugin manager such as vim-plug
, after following the installation instructions, add the below to ~/.config/nvim/plugin/lean.lua
or an equivalent:
.. code:: lua
require('lean').setup{ mappings = true }
More detail on the full list of supported configuration options can be found below.
(If you find you can't modify your source files due to the nvim E21
error, this might be due to lean.nvim's effort prevent users from accidentally shooting themselves in the foot by modifying the Lean standard library. See the definition of nomodifiable
below.)
Lean 4 supports semantic highlighting <https://leanprover.github.io/lean4/doc/semantic_highlighting.html>
_, in which the Lean server itself will signal how to highlight terms and symbols within the editor using information available to it.
Note that even though neovim supports this highlighting, you still will want to map the semantic highlighting groups to your color scheme appropriately.
For a sample setup, see the wiki <https://github.com/Julian/lean.nvim/wiki/Configuring-&-Extending#semantic-highlighting>
_.
If you've set mappings = true
in your configuration (or have called lean.use_suggested_mappings()
explicitly), a number of keys will be mapped either within Lean source files or within Infoview windows:
In Lean Files ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The key binding <LocalLeader>
below refers to a configurable prefix key within neovim.
You can check what this key is set to within neovim by running the command :echo maplocalleader
.
An error like E121: Undefined variable: maplocalleader
indicates that it may not be set to any key.
This can be configured by putting a line at the top of your ~/.config/nvim/init.lua
of the form vim.g.maplocalleader = ' '
(in this example, mapping <LocalLeader>
to hitting the space key twice).
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| Key | Function |
+========================+====================================================+
| <LocalLeader>i
| toggle the infoview open or closed |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| <LocalLeader>p
| pause the current infoview |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| <LocalLeader>x
| place an infoview pin |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| <LocalLeader>c
| clear all current infoview pins |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| <LocalLeader>dx
| place an infoview diff pin |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| <LocalLeader>dc
| clear current infoview diff pin |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| <LocalLeader>dd
| toggle auto diff pin mode |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| <LocalLeader>dt
| toggle auto diff pin mode without clearing diff pin|
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| <LocalLeader><Tab>
| jump into the infoview window associated with the |
| | current lean file |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| <LocalLeader>\\
| show what abbreviation produces the symbol under |
| | the cursor |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
.. note::
See :help <LocalLeader>
if you haven't previously interacted with the local leader key.
Some nvim users remap this key to make it easier to reach, so you may want to consider what key that means for your own keyboard layout.
My (Julian's) <Leader>
is set to <Space>
, and my <LocalLeader>
to <Space><Space>
, which may be a good choice for you if you have no other preference.
In Infoview Windows ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| Key | Function |
+========================+====================================================+
| <CR>
| click a widget or interactive area of the infoview |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| K
| click a widget or interactive area of the infoview |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| <Tab>
| jump into a tooltip (from a widget click) |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| <Shift-Tab>
| jump out of a tooltip and back to its parent |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| <Esc>
| clear all open tooltips |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| J
| jump into a tooltip (from a widget click) |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| C
| clear all open tooltips |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| I
| mouse-enter what is under the cursor |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| i
| mouse-leave what is under the cursor |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| gd
| go-to-definition of what is under the cursor |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| gD
| go-to-declaration of what is under the cursor |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| gy
| go-to-type of what is under the cursor |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| <LocalLeader><Tab>
| jump to the lean file associated with the current |
| | infoview window |
+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+

Particularly if you're also a VSCode user, there may be other plugins you're interested in. Below is a (hopelessly incomplete) list of a few:
actions-preview.nvim <https://github.com/aznhe21/actions-preview.nvim>
_ for showing a preview of what a code action would change
nvim-lightbulb <https://github.com/kosayoda/nvim-lightbulb>
_ for signalling when code actions are available
goto-preview <https://github.com/rmagatti/goto-preview>
_ for peeking definitions (instead of jumping to them)
lsp-status.nvim <https://github.com/nvim-lua/lsp-status.nvim>
_ for showing LSP information in your status bar
Contributions are most welcome. Feel free to send pull requests for anything you'd like to see, or open an issue if you'd like to discuss.
Running the tests can be done via just <https://github.com/casey/just>
using the adjacent justfile <../justfile>
:
.. code:: sh
$ just
which will execute against a minimal init.lua
isolated from your own setup.
After running the test suite once, you can save some time re-cloning dependencies by instead now running:
.. code:: sh
$ just retest
You can also run single test files by running:
.. code:: sh
$ just retest lua/tests/ft_spec.lua
Some linting and style checking is done via pre-commit <https://pre-commit.com/#install>
_, which once installed (via the linked instructions) is run via:
.. code:: sh
$ just lint
or on each commit automatically if you have run pre-commit install
in your repository checkout.
You can also use
.. code:: sh
$ just nvim '{ lsp = { enable = true }, mappings = true }'
to get a normal running neovim (again isolated from your own configuration), where the provided argument is a (Lua) table like one would pass to lean.setup
.
Any further arguments will be passed to nvim
.
