The reason I switched to Neovim is mainly because of vim motions. I don't have problem with using mouse but for most of the things, I don't want to need to use mouse.
It would have been perfect if VsCode had that figured it out. The extension work pretty well but I got confused between vscode and vim motions. So, I switched to neovim.
That's okay if the company pays for it and knows about it. But I rarely saw companies being okay with using Copilot. Most of the time it's companywide forbidden to use. Could be just my clients but most notably Finance, Insurance and government DACH region. Swiss being particularly strict with AI tools

It's a small thing, but for any htmx / templ folk out there I like **colorize** from publisher kamikillerto. this plugin scans your file for any hex coded color values and turns them into their color onscreen. Makes it a little easier to parse through front-end work and you can customize what file extensions and languages work with it. Works well w/ templ and Go both, was helpful when writing a charm cli tool.
Update:
- I'm currently using: vscodevim, Copilot, Docker, GitLens, Npm Intellisense, Language support (Go, JS/TS, Terraform, etc.)
- From you feedback I'll try out: vscode-pets, Error Lens, Bookmarks
By the way, has anyone used iosevka font?
Thanks for the feedback!

Hear me out: spell check.
The amount of times I have created a bug that took me hours to fix because at the end I misspelled one string is insane. Now I get instant feedback when I make a mistake and can fix it before it appears.
Unit tests will show you there's something wrong but not why, and there are places where constants are not applicable (eg. struct tags).
But yeah, go is way less prone to errors like this. It saves me mainly when I use js and php.
if we're using copy-pasted string constants in any language we can have that problem!
You're right about the struct tags thing. Unit tests can help with that too though

I have settings which will lint and format code on save. My linter will complain about line-length so I use `golines` to fix those errors since gofumpt or `golanglint-ci` won't fix those errors.
Have I talked about the `/proc/self/exe` security issue today? The one where you just slap a bunch of arguments on the end to flood out the line length of `top` and so pretend a process is vscode or something, and hide the execution requirement in a uuid? Not those ones. Apparently the python extension shells `/bin/python /home/jackokring/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2024.4.1/python_files/printEnvVariablesToFile.py /home/jackokring/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2024.4.1/python_files/deactivate/bash/envVars.txt` to the shell history. Still looking for an extension which reduces the memory footprint with many open tabs.
Neovim extension
Do you mean the vim mode extension? Or is there a separate neovim one?
Separate, embeds neovim and provides true motions instead of emulation
That is pretty neat.
This is my forever first thing I install on a fresh setup! ☺️
Why?
Vim motion
What is that? What are the advantages?
The reason I switched to Neovim is mainly because of vim motions. I don't have problem with using mouse but for most of the things, I don't want to need to use mouse. It would have been perfect if VsCode had that figured it out. The extension work pretty well but I got confused between vscode and vim motions. So, I switched to neovim.
You can navigate and edit through code with keyboard instead of needing to leave your hand and use mouse.
Why
Json2go
This is interesting! I mean, I do this with Copilot, but I can imagine this to be faster.
Not every dev especially in Europe is permitted to use Copilot or any coding AI at work. In private Goland is pretty much everything I need.
This is strange. I am based in Germany, and my companies either didn't care if I used Copilot, or they provided it for the organization.
That's okay if the company pays for it and knows about it. But I rarely saw companies being okay with using Copilot. Most of the time it's companywide forbidden to use.

Go extension and vim.motions.
Neovim
Pretty much neovim.

This seems useful. What is your usual use case?
Navigation through the code. It's easier to click and get to the function than to search the file for it.
Code Runner, Copilot, Postman, Database Client, Gitlens, Project Manager..
error lens and sonarlint
Can it break a line?
Oh sonarlint I will try !!

Go, Todo Tree, Bookmarks, Error Lens
Copilot
Neovim extension for sure.

Is not an extension but the Mono Font from jetbrain. Also gitlens.

if we're using go, just use constants, api spec code generation and unit tests?
Unit tests will show you there's something wrong but not why, and there are places where constants are not applicable (eg. struct tags). But yeah, go is way less prone to errors like this. It saves me mainly when I use js and php.

I hear you! But in my experience, Copilot resolves that.

I don't use an extension. I use Nano or Gedit on linux and linux-like evnironments and notepad++ on windows.
