What inspired me to do this was to being able to use lspkind-nvim, which really looked amazing, there’s something nice when you’re able to visually determine what the autocompletion options mean.

In practice this post is a followup of my previous posts:

1. Neovim Basic Settings
2. Neovim Look and Feel Plugins
3. Neovim Productivity Plugins
4. Neovim Go Plugins

In the end the following gist, covers the configuration I was able to make it work:

1. To install packer use: git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim ~/.config/nvim/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim, I got this tip from From init.vim to init.lua - a crash course
2. I had to use tami5/lspsaga.nvim instead of glepnir/lspsaga.nvim because there seems to be an issue with the Code Action feature.

In the end it really looks amazing:

Mission accomplished. 🙃 Gist in case anyone is interested https://t.co/XaRVcDoULp #golang pic.twitter.com/VzvTg4rY7T
