Unfortunately " split windows and the project drawer go together like oil and vinegar" and it can result in painful experience or, which is even worse, avoiding built in functionalities, because these do not mix well.

Even if syntax colouring isn't your thing then I would still recommend installing it as it provides other things that it provides few other niceties that I will describe later.īut how to install it? In truly minimal setup you can just create pack/elixir/start directory within your ~/.vim folder ( $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/nvim in case of NeoVim) and clone given repository there, however I am using vim-packager which is based on minpac and is truly minimal package manager (it is important distinction from vim-plug or others that also manages plugin loading, these plugins only manage fetching) which even do not need to be loaded during "normal" runtime, only when you are updating plugins. Vim doesn't (as ) support Elixir out of the box, so what we need is to install vim-elixir plugin which will provide niceties like syntax colouring and indentation. If you will encounter any problems, then please let me know. I am using NeoVim 0.3.4, but almost everything I will describe there should work in Vim 8.1+ as well. You should use whatever you like (even if I do not like what you use) as long as you understand what you use and why you use that.Īny sufficiently complicated set of Vim plugins contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Vim's features. Here I will try to describe how I use Vim for Elixir and Erlang development, you can find some nice ideas and tips that may help you, but by any means I do not mean that this is configuration you should or should not use. This isn't "introduction into Vim" article neither "how to configure Vim for Elixir development". This results with configuration I understand and control in all means. By no means I am "minimal" Vim user, I currently have 48 plugins installed, I just very carefully pick my plugins (few of them I have written myself) to use only plugins that I understand and I can fix on my own in case of problems. I am quite orthodox Vim user and I like to know everything that is happening in my editor configuration.
