Question 1

How do I install v-vim in Neovim?

Accepted Answer

Use a plugin manager like vim-plug: add 'Plug \'ollykel/v-vim\'' to your init.vim, run :PlugInstall. The README provides similar instructions for Vim, ensuring compatibility with Neovim's configuration.

Question 2

How to enable automatic formatting in v-vim?

Accepted Answer

Set 'let g:v_autofmt_bufwritepre = 1' in your vimrc, as per the README. This triggers `v fmt` before saving files, but ensure `v fmt` is installed and in your PATH for it to work.

Question 3

Does v-vim support code completion for V?

Accepted Answer

No, v-vim primarily focuses on syntax highlighting and formatting; it doesn't include autocompletion or intelligent code suggestions, so you might need additional plugins for that functionality.

Question 4

v-vim vs other V plugins: which is best for Vim?

Accepted Answer

v-vim is the dedicated plugin for V language support in Vim, offering accurate highlighting and formatting. Compare it to alternatives like generic syntax files, which may lack V-specific features or error detection.

Question 5

Is v-vim compatible with Vim 8 and newer versions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, v-vim is designed for Vim and Neovim, as indicated by the installation instructions using standard plugin managers. It should work with Vim 8+ and recent Neovim releases, but check the repository for any version-specific issues.

Question 6

How to disable trailing whitespace highlighting in v-vim?

Accepted Answer

Add 'let g:v_highlight_trailing_whitespace_error = 0' to your vimrc, as shown in the README options. This allows customization to reduce visual noise if you prefer different whitespace handling.
