Helpful VIM tools for Fuchsia development

Features

• Configure YouCompleteMe to provide error checking, completion and source navigation within the Fuchsia tree.
• Set path so that :find and gf know how to find files.
• Fidl syntax highlighting (using /lib/fidl/tools/vim/).

Installation

Make sure env.sh is being called in your login scripts. This code depends on variables set in env.sh and by the fset command.

Add this to your vimrc:

if $FUCHSIA_DIR != ""
  source $FUCHSIA_DIR/scripts/vim/fuchsia.vim
endif

Optionally install YouCompleteMe for fancy completion, source navigation and inline errors.

TODO

In the future it would be nice to support:

• YCM support for magenta (dbort is looking at this)
• Fidl indentation
• GN highlighting and indentation
• Dart, Go and Rust support
• Build system integration
• Navigate between generated files and fidl source
