Manual

Clone extensions/vim-writ into your Vim runtimepath, or symlink it:

ln -s /path/to/writ/extensions/vim-writ ~/.vim/pack/writ/start/vim-writ    # Vim
ln -s /path/to/writ/extensions/vim-writ ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/writ/start/vim-writ  # Neovim

Configuration

Pass options to require("writ").setup() (Neovim only):

require("writ").setup({
  lsp_cmd = "writ-lsp",        -- path to the language server binary
  hot_reload = {
    enabled = true,             -- enable hot reload on save
    mechanism = "socket",       -- "socket" or "file"
    address = "127.0.0.1:7777", -- host:port for socket, or file path for file
  },
})

Requirements

• Neovim 0.10+ for LSP and hot reload features
• writ-lsp on your $PATH for LSP features
• Traditional Vim supports syntax highlighting and filetype settings only
