Maybe a Vim expert can help me out. I’ve used Vim for a long time, but never with any plugins, and only a few lines in my .vimrc.
My problem is that the syntax highlighting, specifically for TypeScript is pretty bad. I have a regular expression (for parsing front matter) that seems to cause Vim’s syntax highlighting to go haywire (it stops and sometimes crashes).
Is anyone aware of a way to get more reliable syntax highlighting in Vim, ideally with a minimum of fuss?
Oh, my initial research (reading the Neovim docs) indicated that setting up Neovim would require a lot of manual configuration for getting an LSP working. I will give it another look, thanks!
Most blog posts I found seemed to assume you already had a gigantic custom config, plug-in manager, etc. I couldn’t find a “how to set up better highlighting and/or an LSP for people who know Vim but don’t know anything about configuration” guide.
