nim-mode

An emacs major mode for the Nim programming language.

• Install Nim
• Install nim-mode.el via MELPA.

Nimsuggest

In nim-mode repository, some *.el files depend on nimsuggest (not nim-suggest.el), so if you want to use more integration in Emacs, please visit the link to install nimsuggest.

Brief descriptions for the nimsuggest related files:

1. nim-company.el: auto completion feature
2. nim-thing-at-point.el: thing-at-point for nim
3. nim-eldoc: show information in minibuffer

After you install nimsuggest, you may need following configuration.

(setq nim-nimsuggest-path "path/to/nimsuggest")

Note that above nim-nimsuggest-path variable is automatically set result of (executable-find "nimsuggest"), so if you can get value from the executable-find, you might don't need above configuration.

company-mode

If you use company-mode then add company-nim to company-backends like:

(add-to-list 'company-backends
               '(company-nim :with company-nim-builtin))

nim-eldoc

This feature is automatically turned on if nim-suggest-path is non-nil.

auto-indent mode

If you use auto-indent-mode, you need to add nim-mode to the list of auto-indent-multiple-indent-modes:

(add-to-list 'auto-indent-multiple-indent-modes 'nim-mode)
