Support for use of floating windows for completion menus landed
upstream. It introduced a new feature but also broke things. Having
native_menu set completely breaks auto completion.
While at it, add mapping for scrolling docs. Also add support for it
in color scheme.
The signature help sometimes stays open even after moving away from
the function. Sometimes it conflicts with the auto completion pop-up
making it difficult to see one of the two windows.
nvr seems to allow opening a file at specified line just like with
regular nvim which seems to not work for floaterm. So when in neovim
terminal vgrep -s opens the file at correct line while in floaterm it
just opens the file and puts us at the first line. Basically something
like nvim +99 file.c does not work for floaterm.
For the most part adapted from
https://gavinhoward.com/2020/12/my-development-environment-and-how-i-got-there/
Also contains support for opening current line in neovim.
This assumes we are running inside neovim terminal and hence the use of
nvr viz. neovim-remote. We will try adding support for kitty window and
single instances later if possible.
termdebug seems good enough so just drop this. Or we will use nvim-dap
if needed. However, termdebug should be enough really. We also just
found gdb-dashboard which seems great adding just the necessary UI bits.
The required capabilities to be set are already correctly set by
nvim-cmp, no need to set them again. We had added that to enable rust
snippet expansion earlier.
Also see older revisions of this document.

vim.diagnostic framework is now available and can be used outside of
LSP. This means the same functions can now work for plugins providing
diagnostics via this framework like nvim-lint and null-ls.
With LSP providing formatting have not used this in more than a year.
Just drop it. Also it is pretty stupid to look for everything global &
not use language build tool to pick the correct formatter and its
configuration.
Now that we have migrated to clang LSP for C, the only reason for
keeping it around was using it to find files in gst-build repository
which was structured in such a way that fzf and rg could not be used.
Now that GStreamer has moved to monorepo setup, we can use fzf and
rg just like in any project. No need for cscope anymore.
With the move to nvim-cmp these vsnip key mappings are not required
anymore. The completion and expansion gets taken care of by nvim-cmp.
Just move the vsnip_filetypes settings to init.
For some reason without adding the snippets to the runtime path,
snippets do now show up in completion.
Found the solution here though the issue is on Ultisnips
https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp/issues/241
nvim-compe has been deprecated. While we tried to make it a few days
without any completion support, in javascript/typescript could not get
the default omnicompletion to work at all. It is possible that this
could be due to nvim-lsp-ts-utils/null-ls but who is gonna debug.
Also tried MUcomplete but it just would not work. There are open issues
on this. See https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/12390 and also
https://github.com/lifepillar/vim-mucomplete/issues/179.
So here we are with nvim-cmp. Some observations in comparison to compe
before. Using buffer completion seems not possible as most of the times
LSP completion items then do not turn up. Do not know if this is server
specific but at least it is the case with Rust. compe seemed better
performance wise especially in tsserver and considering the buffer
problem mentioned above. Also, even with vsnip added as the completion
source can't seem to get any snippet specific completions working.
Could have ditched all completion support if I did not have to use
tsserver but need it for work currently. So we will stick to enabling
this and hopefully it improves in future.
Fuck nodejs, javascript and typescript.

47b1578 did not actually fix it. We need to keep using 'gq' but actually
correctly specify whether we want normal or visual mode. Also disable
range formatting explicitly for tsserver.
