I saw an awesome [tool](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/neovim-languageserver-jl/37286/7) for neovim.
Is there any similar thing for vim or neovim?
Also, I’d like to how to setup such tools.
Please help me 🙂
Thanks.

neovim **is** plain vim, it’s not vim+something, it’s a different plain vim.
But I thought last time I checked LS stuff works on Vim too.

Do yiu know some reference for vim that I may be able to follow easily?

there is a tutorial in the repo? [Vim and Neovim · julia-vscode/LanguageServer.jl Wiki · GitHub](https://github.com/julia-vscode/LanguageServer.jl/wiki/Vim-and-Neovim#languageclient-neovim)

I’ve tried it but it does not work. I may have to try it again.
EDIT: well, some error occurs ☹
I gave up. I’ve tried somethings including implementing it with neovim but I failed it.

I’ve decided to use neovim and coc cuz it’s faster than vim and very convenient.
Here’s a guideline.
In your configuration file (such as `~/.config/nvim/init.vim`), add them (using `vim-plug`):
```julia
Plug 'JuliaEditorSupport/julia-vim'
Plug 'neoclide/coc.nvim', {'branch': 'release'}
Plug 'fannheyward/coc-julia'
```
That’s it.
+) One more thing: [coc-julia](https://github.com/fannheyward/coc-julia) and [julia-vim](https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/julia-vim) may be conflicted with each other when using TAB completion for LaTeX-to-Unicode transformation. I avoided this issue by changing `julia-vim` configuration to LaTeX-to-Unicode via keymap.

Does this setup work out of box? I get some “Missing reference” warning which are wrong.

OK. Installing coc and coc-julia in vim works. My mistake is that
1. I did not put my source file in a project.
2. I did not explicitly add packages which I use, such as LinearAlgebra in my project.toml
That’s why I got a tons of “Missing reference”.
