Neovim

Neovim is a modal text editor forked off of Vim in 2014. Being modal means that you do not simply type text on screen, but the behavior and functionality of the editor changes entirely depending on the mode.

The most common and most used mode, the "normal mode" for Neovim is to essentially turn your keyboard in to hotkeys with which you can navigate and manipulate text. Several modes exist, but two other most common ones are "insert mode" where you type in text directly as if it was a traditional text editor, and "visual mode" where you select text.

Neovim seeks to enable further community participation in its development and to make drastic changes without turning it in to something that is "not Vim". Neovim also seeks to enable embedding the editor within GUI applications.

Support question: lazy.vim and ansible-language-server (feddit.de)

I'm trying to use LazyVim https://www.lazyvim.org/ to create and edit ansible playbooks and roles, but for the live of my I don't understand how to enable ansible-language-server.

The installation of lazyvim went flawless and after starting nvim I used the command :Mason to install:

ansible-language-server
ansible-lint
yaml-language-server
yamllint

but still, when opening a task or playbook file in nvim, i don't get any of that cool features like snippets and automatic syntax checking like I hoped.

Can anyone give me a hint how to enable those? Mason says the plugins are installed, is it only a problem of nvim not recognizing the filetype as ansible? Do I need to enable some plugins via .config/nvim/lua/plugins? I'm out of my element here, help would be much appreciated.

I created an auto command for this

-- Ansible file pattern
  vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ "BufRead", "BufNewFile", "BufEnter" }, {
    group = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("Ansible", { clear = true }),
    pattern = {
      "*/roles/*/*/*.yaml",
      "*/roles/*/*/.yml",
      "main.yml",
      "main.yaml",
      "Debian*.yaml",
      "Debian*.yml",
      "*/ansible-devbox/*.yaml",
      "*/ansible-devbox/*.yml",
      "group_vars/*.yml",
      "group_vars/*.yaml",
      "files/*.yaml",
      "files/*.yml",
      "environments/*.yaml",
      "environments/*.yml,",
    },
    callback = function()
      vim.opt.filetype = "yaml.ansible"
    end,
  }),

it's working now but ill try that. looks like a better solution then my current .config/nvim/ftdetect/ansible.vim hack. your snipped goes into .config/nvim/init.lua i guess?

[–] SpunkyIceke42@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It’s going in my .config/nvim/lua/config/autocmds.lua

I use lazyvim
