Using Chisel with vim

[Bruno Ferres]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if any of you was using Chisel in vim, and if any plugin was available to do so.

From what I found, one could install scala plugins to begin with, but if any of you have a Chisel specific one, it would be great.

Thank you for your answers,
Bruno

Your best bet is going to be using Scala metals with Vim. That will give you "go to definition" (including jumping into the actual Chisel front end source code) as well as info about APIs, etc. It's a full IDE experience. See: https://scalameta.org/metals/docs/editors/overview.html

If you're working with FIRRTL directly, Adam has a FIRRTL syntax highlighting plugin that helps: https://github.com/azidar/firrtl-syntax

FWIW, a lot of people are using IntelliJ which may give a more integrated experience. I've been recently happy with Emacs + metals.

Hi Schuyler,

Thank you for your quick answer. Guess I'll give a chance to metals, and move to IntelliJ if not satisfied.

Thank you again,

Bruno

Hi Bruno,

I'm pretty happy with comrade neovim [1]. It links a running instance of
IntelliJ with neovim. So anything you do in either of those also happens
in the other.

Cheers,

Bastian
