  You can test vim-easycomplete If you want use vim write nim language

  Works well, can autocomplete functions variables macros ...

  How to install

  
  Plug 'jayli/vim-easycomplete' # vim plugs
  nimble install nimlsp # nimble
  # OK, you can write nim code comfortably using vim now :)
  # (don't set dict, It is easy to delay popmenu)
  Run

  I use neovim, but it seems to be compatible. Thanks!

  Thanks for the updates.

  For auto-completion (based on nimsuggest) and linting I was using this setup:

  
  call plug#begin()
  
  "Autocompletion
  Plug 'alaviss/nim.nvim'
  Plug 'prabirshrestha/asyncomplete.vim'
  
  #Linting and syntax
  Plug 'baabelfish/nvim-nim'
  Plug 'dense-analysis/ale'
  
  call plug#end()
  
  au User asyncomplete_setup call asyncomplete#register_source({
      \ 'name': 'nim',
      \ 'whitelist': ['nim'],
      \ 'completor': {opt, ctx -> nim#suggest#sug#GetAllCandidates({start, candidates -> asyncomplete#complete(opt['name'], ctx, start,>
      \ })
  
  inoremap <expr> <Tab>   pumvisible() ? "\<C-n>" : "\<Tab>"
  inoremap <expr> <S-Tab> pumvisible() ? "\<C-p>" : "\<S-Tab>"
  inoremap <expr> <cr>    pumvisible() ? asyncomplete#close_popup() : "\<cr>"
  Run

  but there is no detailed documentation how to configure everything for Nim to have the same (or almost) experience, as for VSCode (jump to symbol docs).

  There's a manual on how to setup auto-completion based on nimlsp on https://github.com/PMunch/nimlsp , but I failed to configure it.

  If you have complete init.vim for Nim in NeoVim, I would very appreciate.

  this nim.vim haven't autoload & omnifunc, But have color syntax ... good for other plugin together use. ( For example vim-easycomplete )

  my nim.vim + vim-easycomplete

  No dependency libraries, Not need add vimrc code ( you can bakup and remove other complate plugin & maps code , Experience how it feels to use them )

  Nice! Recently I started using VS Code for the only reason that the only good Nim plugin was for it!

  That's great! I recently began using VS Code myself, mainly because it has the best Nim plugin available. However, I must admit that my preference still lies with Vim/Neovim. There's just something about the simplicity and flexibility of Vim that I find incredibly appealing. But it's wonderful that you found a good Nim plugin in VS Code. It's all about finding the tools that work best for you!
