Difficulty Getting Started From Neovim

Open FOSSilizedDaemon opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hello,

I have been eyeing lem for awhile and now that I am family making the jump to nyxt I decided I wanted to do the same with lem. The biggest issue I am having is that I like to heavily configure my text editors, but cannot find solid documentation on much. I am trying to start by porting my neovim configuration, or what of it applies, but aside from jumping through the source tree I cannot seem to make any real headway. Are there any plans to better documentation? I am having a hard time seeing what is even supported at the moment.

Thank you for your feedback. I know I need documentation, but I haven't been able to get started.

I think that frequently used symbols should be documented preferentially, but I don't write extensions so I don't know. What use cases do you need?

I want to move to more common-lisp programs. Currently, I use neovim, but the only things keeping me there are UI related. I was considering moving to GNU Emacs, but it is too GUI oriented. I want to try lem, but the main issues I am having is figuring out what options are built into lem and what I need to port function wise.

Maybe now with the webpage and the keybindings is more easy to use.

I also invite to test directly from Lem. It is discoverable: what functions are related to "line"? Type (line and tab-complete. Go to a symbol definition (M-.) and have a look at the other functions, etc.

I'll close this issue, as is not really an issue, but more of a question. Feel free to open it if the issue is not solved :+1:
