But eventually wasn't able to get the same code completion, and searching was also a bit more painful.
How do you go about that? Would you mind sharing your setup? :)
Thanks for sharing!
The intro looks great I will definitely check this out.
It's conceptually similar to sketching out the design of your code with a pen and paper or whiteboard. First write it quickly, then make it correct.
Anyway, if you don't care about all that, you can get a similar effect by turning off intellisense (or equivalent) in your IDE while you write, then turn it back on at the end to get what you just wrote to compile. I do this sometimes in Android Studio.
The VSCode Neovim extension makes neovim run as its backend, while giving you all the IntelliSense etc of VSCode. I can’t tell exactly you how it affects responsiveness as I only toy around with it, but it does feel noticeably better in some aspects...yet maybe occasionally glitchy?
Anyway it’s pretty interesting, especially if you’re already using neovim anyway.
