Vim and CoC

Vim is my editor of choice. I’ve tried to switch, and although Vim-mode plugins for editors like Visual Studio Code allow you to use your well-earned muscle memory, nothing quite matches the snappiness of Vim in the terminal.

CoC comes pretty close to providing a nice IDE-like experience in Vim. Here are some handy commands…

Handy commands for COC

• gd - go to definition
• ctrl-o - return (:help jumplist)
• :CocConfig - will bring up the coc json config file
• :CocList snippets - list snippets for current file type

Getting python linting working:

We need to make sure it picks the right interpreter. To do this, do:

:CocCommand python.setInterpreter

And pick the interpreter.

It also needs to pick the correct workspace file. You can do it manually like:

• Run :CocList folders.
• Press <cr> and edit the path to correct folder.
• Run :CocRestart to restart service.
• Save a session file to persist workspaceFolders.

But that’s a pain because you need to manually do it each time. Instead, we have set our coc-config to look for Pipfile and package.json since they will work well in our monorepo.

CoC Config

We can always do :CocLocalConfig and put a settings file in each project if we need to.
