"std::print" not recognized in vim using Coc

https://preview.redd.it/g26y9g9hs24g1.png?width=1171&format=png&auto=webp&s=fbedb6cb48c439b1ce5224a8d38a69d568cdda7f


Hi, I recently started learning how to code using C++ and tried configuring my vim to support modern C++ features (-std=c++23) using coc.nvim plugin. I am not able to understand why "std::print" is not being recognized when using clangd. Can I get some help in understanding what I missed in my configuration? My :CocConfig are as follows ->

{ "clangd.path": "~/.config/coc/extensions/coc-clangd-data/install/21.1.0/clangd_21.1.0/bin/clangd",
"clangd.fallbackFlags": [ "-std=c++23", "-fexperimental-library" ] }

Use unoptimized Colemak bindings or go back to QWERTY?

Grew up with bad typing habits and was staring at keyboard too much until a few years ago, when I decided to learn proper techniques, touch typing and etc - I went cold turkey with "ergo" setup: split columnar keyboard + Colemak.

Since then I have enjoyed every moment of typing using Colemak, and I would not think twice about my choices if the only thing I did was typing and using regular shortcuts...

...the problem arises not necessarily when I have to use someone else's setup, but when I don't have all my custom configs with bindings in apps, like Vim, which ranges from a simple HJKL navigation bindings to more drastic changes.

I have made my peace with being a bad typer if I had to use QWERTY, but I feel like I just shot myself in the foot by further complicating my setup with all of the custom bindings.

I don't want to be reliant on always needing to set up the environment on each system and not being able to "just use it barebones".

I wonder if I should simply cut back on bindings and configs, use unoptimized QWERTY-to-Colemak bindings and other defaults... or should I go further and just say goodbye to Colemak.

It has been awhile since I have started considering both options, but to this day I have changed nothing.

So, I'm very curious of community's experiences and solutions, especially if they are identical to mine.

Thanks

How to become faster in Vim ?

Hello,
I’ve been using Vim daily since last year for programming, taking notes, etc., but I still can’t get comfortable with it.
I feel like I’m not “fast enough” when it comes to manipulating text with keybinds, and I’ve never used any macros.
I've already went through vimtutor a couple of times but never found an occasion to use the stuff I learned while I'm using it.
May I get some advises and tips ?

How to get Vimium to work on all tabs

Mostly just wanting to cycle between all tabs, for example PDF's, Gmail and New Tabs don't work on Firefox because the browser doesn't seem to allow me to use extensions / noscripts on those ones, any advice to get around this so I can use Shift + (J or K) to cycle tabs.

VimTex 'Compiler did not start successfully!' error

Hey y'all! I'm having a terrible time trying to get VimTex to compile my .tex file. I can compile it fine in the command prompt using latexmk -pdf but when I use the vimtex-compile command I get the output below.

It's weird because it tells me the file name of the file it apparently can't find and lists it when I use the vimtex-info command? I can change the name of the file and it'll print that name whether it is 'main' or 'test' or whatever. Could VimTex not be passing the file location correctly to latexmk? How could fix that if that is the case? Additionally, when I run VimtexCompileSS it says compilation completed but no new files are produced anywhere.

I've tried searching everywhere and I can't find anyone having this issue. I'm guessing I just missed something super simple somewhere as I'm just trying to jump into vim and LaTex as of today. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

This is my first time actually making a post asking for help so not sure if this is a good place. Would it be better if I took this issue to the VimTex Github?



Output when I run vimtex-compile:

Initial Win CP for (console input, console output, system): (CP437, CP65001, CP1252)
I changed them all to CP1252

NERDTree -- how to descend into a directory?

Perhaps it's an oversight on my part, but in spite of having looked at the built-in help page, looked around on the web, and read a handful of Reddit threads that seemed to be somewhat relevant, I can't figure out how to do a very simple thing, namely how to descend into a subdirectory when navigating with NERDTree.

By descending into a subdirectory, I mean that NERDTree would take that subdirectory as the new root of the tree it's showing, and redraw based on that. I am of course aware of "e" and "t", but those open the subdir in another window or new tab respectively. I'm looking for the functionality that does what "e" and "t" do but in the same NERDTree window that I'm already in.

I find it puzzling that this functionality -- which is surely elementary for a file-system navigator, right? -- would be so difficult to find. But hey, maybe it's me and it's right there in my face and I'm just not seeing it. Do let me know.

HACK: vim using terminal app window panes and git repo aware viminfo contexts

In case anyone else is interested. I've setup my terminal workflow to use my terminal app window panes rather than vims and have "project" viminfo context based on git repos. I use ghostty, so I can create a new pane via "<meta-D>e<Enter>" where "<meta-D>" creates a new pane and "e" is a bash alias that restores the previous vim file/line of the same git repo (which has an acceptable keystroke count for me). Viminfo files are copied depending on the git repo your in, so yank/jump lists are specific to that context.

I've added these hacks to my vimrc/zshrc:

vimrc:

nn <C-w>v :echo "disabled"<CR>
nn <C-w>s :echo "disabled"<CR>


" git directory aware vim contexts. Preserves viminfo and jumps in each git repro
fu! GitPath() " Get git file path and hash it to map filenames to repros
let dir = trim(system('git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null'))
return '/tmp/'.(v:shell_error ? 'global' : trim(system('echo ' . dir . ' | md5')))
endf
fu! OnBlur() " write git repo aware viminfo
let f=GitPath()
exe 'wviminfo! '.f.'.viminfo'
call writefile([expand('%:p').":".line('.')], f.'.file')
endf
fu! OnFocus() " write last opened file in repo and restore git aware viminfo.
sil! exe 'rviminfo! '.GitPath().'.viminfo'
endf
fu! OnEnter() " open last opened file in repo and restore git aware viminfo
let f=GitPath()
if get(argv(), 0) == 'restore' && filereadable(f.'.file')
let [p, l] = split(readfile(f.'.file')[0], ':')
exe 'e '.p | call cursor(l, 0) | filetype detect
endif
sil! exe 'rviminfo! '.f.'.viminfo'
endf
au TextYankPost,VimLeave,FocusLost * call OnBlur()
au FocusGained * call OnFocus()
au VimEnter * call OnEnter()

zshrc:
`alias e='vim restore'`

`alias E='vim -c "Explore"'`

gitlog-vim a wrapper to view git logs without plugins

took me a while to tidy it up to this level of polish but here it is, it may be a small wrapper but it provides a lot of functionality for those that are constantly checking the git logs and wish to view them inside vim (or neovim).

vim9noscript style guide?

I've stumbled on the google vimnoscript style guide a while back

https://google.github.io/styleguide/vimnoscriptguide.xml

Was wondering if there was a vim9noscript version that anyone was working on that I might just have failed to find on github / elsewhere on the internet?


Don't want to go too far down the path but figure I'd ask the community here since tree-sitter grammar not properly defining vim9noscript syntax and the realities of there not being a ton of folks writing it


\----

For my part I'd be happy to take a stab at the first pass of some sort of guide that could serve as a spiritual successor to the google vimnoscript guide (casual in nature)

How does vimwiki work?

I need a program/plugin that will go over a file (markdown, html, whatever) and either insert hyperlinks to all other files ("articles") that i have either after command/keybind or will do it automatically when i save.

Basically every word that is a name of a file/"article" becomes hyperlink.

Can vimwiki do that?

Vim shortcuts in Android Studio

When using Vim in the terminal, I can visually select an arbitrary (continuous) set of lines and do z-f to create a new fold consisting of those lines.

While using the Vim plugin on Android Studio, I can fold things like class/function definitions using z-c and open them using z-o. This is already quite helpful. But I do not seem to be able to create new folds involving an arbitrary set of lines. For example, I might want to fold a group of commented out lines or fold up a long multi-line list of parameters. Also, doing something like z-UP doesn't work.

1. Is there a way to enable this kind of functionality?

1. Is there an rc or config file I can edit to make these things happen? What changes do I need to make to the config file?

I tried asking this in the Android Studio sub, but got zero responses.

I think later will share distribution using another OS, here MacOS as example, but I think someone searched for it.
