I just really find visual debuggers to be a modern miracle.

I’m a veteran, but I run into that every time. I use nvim and pycharm.

Are there new developments that could change my mind? I love the idea of all of this.



I use nvim-dap for python and go multiple times a week. It's basically the same as VSCode's debugger and I'm a huge fan.


use vscode with the neovim plugin. it has visual debugging built in and you can bind whatever command in vscode to a command in neovim if you want.


I've had great luck with nvim-dap and nvim-dap-ui.


vimspector is a cool DSP for vim.

I only use vim for editing, but I reach for Chrome or VS Code for my debugging - I don't love the UI, but I don't do it that often and it's fine enough


> I reach for Chrome

Did you check the Vimium extension for Chrome?

lol, here's me 13 years ago on that repo filing an issue about google reader support (!)

anyway, yeah I'm aware of it haha

edit: my fork is still alive! Here's a commit from 2011 that I never filed a PR for that includes a news.yc submission keyboard shortcut for vimium: https://github.com/llimllib/vimium/commit/59e3d7f7aa01bb032d...


Using DAP (debug adapter protocol), you should be able to run a debugger similar to what most GUI editors have in any editor with client support.
