Does the completion engine handle macros? So that: let x = vec![1] x.//auto complete here Will work? If it beats Emacs for Rust overall (I assume IntelliJ has full Vim support) I'd definitely buy it.

Think they both use racer

  The intellij plugin doesn't use racer, it's custom.

    I added PoC racer support in the plugin one evening, but got bored and did not pursue it further. It's just calling racer and parsing the output. The built-in completion is a bit rudimentary at the moment.

You likely don't need to. Almost all the community plugins work with the free version of IntelliJ.

IntelliJ has great Vim support, and the community edition is free. I've used IntelliJ for Scala for 4 months, which has been excellent, but never found any need for the paid features, so I'd say go ahead and download it today.

  IntelliJ has great Vim support Are ex commands supported too?
  - throw_away 10y ago
    ex mode is not supported (Q or q:), but I never really used that anyways. Many of the command line mode commands are supported (:s, :map, :his), but others are not (sadly not :r or :w).

      :w seems to work fine for me in IdeaVim.
      - weitzj 10y ago
        And macro recording works quite well.
      - throw_away 10y ago
        :w is kindof weird in itself in IntelliJ as IntelliJ saves automatically. I just tested it and :w in IdeaVim does not seem to update the timestamp like it does in vim if there are no changes to the file. I was specifically thinking about :w <filename> which I find quite useful in vim.

I'm not a rust programmer but I installed the tools and the plugin to Intelij (latest version) and when I typed the x. auto completion was not shown.

  did you install Racer? https://github.com/phildawes/racer https://github.com/phildawes/racer
  - EugeneOZ 10y ago
    Racer is not required for this plugin.

EugeneOZ 10y ago
no, it wouldn't work. But this plugin is free and can be used with free version of IDEA :)

Unfortunately they don't let you "buy" anymore. It's a yearly fee a la adobe creative cloud and as soon as you stop paying they "de-update" you a year.

  I assume this works fine with intellij community edition, which is free and apache licenced OSS.

  Their website seems to indicate that if you pay for 12 months in a row, then you get a perpetual fallback license.
  - xiaoma 10y ago
    The "fallback" means downgrading. E.g., if you pay for a year now, you get updates for a year. If you don't pay again in July 2017, then you have to downgrade to the July 2016 version, which you may use in perpetuity. It's designed such that not only do you stop getting new things when you stop paying, you lose some of what you already have.
