VIM

This repo contains my vim configuration, hope it will be useful for you.

Snippets

TODO in ALE

Linters / fixers & LSP

Linters and fixers needed to be installed for each language used.

Python

For python, you need to have python-lsp-server.

It can be system wide, or just in a virtualenv.

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install pyton-lsp-server[all]

Formatter

By default my config add autoformatting on save on each filetype, you just need a LSP server for the filetype.

But if it's not working you could use vim formatting ggvG=, = is vim command for formatting text.

VM

To code on a virtual machine, I use sshfs, it just mount the system of the vm on my machine and tada!

sudo mkdir /mnt/vm
sudo sshfs -o allow_other -p 22 user@localhost:/home/user/ /mnt/vm/
