Setting Up Neovim for Python/C/C++ Development

Neovim is a powerful, modernized fork of Vim that is designed for developers who want a lightweight, yet extensible text editor. Its speed, versatility, and rich plugin ecosystem make it an excellent choice for Python development. In this blog post, we'll walk through the steps to set up Neovim for a seamless Python development experience.

Screenshots

Getting Started

First we need to get the latest stable version of Neovim ( currently 0.10.0 ). We can also install using the system package manager (apt/yum/zypper) install neovim or we can get it from github.

cd ~/bin
wget https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/download/v0.10.0/nvim.appimage
mv nvim.appimage nvim
chmod +x nvim
export PATH=$PATH:~/bin #  add ~/bin to your PATH . Add this line to your ~/.bashrc

Dependencies :

To add support for many of the Language Server Protocol (LSP)

features i.e., Formatting, Code action, goto documentation we need

few packages which add this functionality. Programming Languages

that I use.

Language Package How to Install
c/c++ clangd (apt/yum/dnf/zypper) install clangd
Lua lua_ls https://luals.github.io/#neovim-install
Bash bashls https://github.com/bash-lsp/bash-language-server
Vim Script vimls https://github.com/iamcco/vim-language-server
Python pylsp pip install python-lsp-server[all]
CMake cmake pip install cmake-language-server
Latex texlab https://github.com/latex-lsp/texlab
Text textls https://github.com/hangyav/textLSP

List of Neovim Plugins

There are thousands of Neovim Plugins available in github. Only use the one that you need. Here are the plugins that I use.

 lazy.nvim                              # Plugin Manager


 • Comment.nvim                         # shortcuts to comment a section of code
 • alpha-nvim                           # Startup screen
 • coq_nvim                             # Autocomplete suggestions
 • indent-blankline.nvim                # Shows nice indentation levels of code 
 • lualine.nvim                         # Status line
 • nvim-autopairs                       # Automatically insert (){}[] 
 • nvim-lspconfig                       # This configures LSP
 • nvim-treesitter                      # Faster/Modern Syntax highlight
 • nvim-web-devicons                    # Provides icons 
 • plenary.nvim                         # Lua functionality
 • rose-pine                            # Theme That I use
 • telescope.nvim                       # Fuzzy finder for files or LSP objects

Install this config

  1. clone the repo

    cd ~/.config/
git clone https://github.com/srbhp/nvim.git

  2. Install Plugins

    Launch Neovim and run the following command to install the plugins:

    :Lazy

  3. Install coq_nvim dependencies: This need python3-venv package to be installed.

     :COQdeps

  4. Check Neovim Health.

    :checkhealth

    This will give you current status of the Neovim and report if there is any missing depndencies.
