Hello !
In my day to day work I often have to write small snippets to illustrate ticket tech strategy.
I was wondering if you guys knew a cool way to have quick scratchpad where I could manipulate the snippet, format it, and have minimal syntax coloration.
This is usually handled by LSP, but sometimes having a full lsp running is not practical, with all the overhead of typescript config for example.
Main formats are JSON, typescript and soon Rust.
Cheers
I think
Neoformat
lets you format a buffer without saving it, without the need for an LSP. So you could::enew :set syntax=json (Write some code) :Neoformat <formatter-name>
Wow it actually looks like exactly what I am looking for. Thanks !
You’re welcome! Glad I could help.
I almost always have a terminal open so I just open Vim run
:set ft=json
(or whatever format) write what I need then just:gg
shift-v
G
Y
and paste it where I need. You do need
set clipboard=unnamedplus
in your vimrc so Vim uses your system clipboard.
