Feature: Give the option to use Neovim as a backend #1043

Open Tylerc230 opened 7 years ago

Tylerc230 commented 7 years ago

Neovim is able to be used as a headless backend without a UI. This means that it may be possible to route keypresses from xcode to neovim and show neovim's buffer in xcode. This would allow access to all vim plugins and built in features in Xcode.

JugglerShu commented 7 years ago

Yea that kind of thing is considered. Actually it is possible to pass all the buffer to Neovim or Vim and execute command and apply back the result to Xcode, but I think this is not really smart solution since this would be disable to use Xcode features like auto complete. That is the main reason I'm not doing it.

Tylerc230 commented 7 years ago

Yeah makes sense. I guess the tradeoffs are using vim/neovim plugins in xcode but not xcode auto complete features.

I think it might be a great time to revisit this idea with the new architecture of xcode forcing your hand at a full rewrite? It would be really nice to have a full featured, full vim as a backing to xcode. Couldn't there be an intercept layer that dispatches xcode specific features before sending the buffer to neovim or having neovim act on the on disk buffer?

Tylerc230 commented 7 years ago

Some of Xcode's completion engine is open source. It's a matter of creating the vim plugins for it.

ah yeah. I have used sourcekitten for completion before for completion in emacs.

Tylerc230 commented 7 years ago

Yep built in source kit. I would love to collaborate with some folks on building some vim plugins for swift.

there is this https://github.com/mitsuse/autocomplete-swift

and https://github.com/keith/sourcekittendaemon.vim

Tylerc230 commented 7 years ago

Yeah there's also deoplete-swift. I don't think either supports multiple files/Xcode workspaces
