DEPRECATED! Use nvim-treesitter instead.

Issues: see gitlab

clangd-nvim uses Neovim's build- in Language Server Protocol to enable clangd's support for semantic highlighting.

Left: clangd-nvim + nvim-lsp; Right: no plugin

• Implement basic semantic highlight support
• Implement highlight groups
• Enable/Disable semantic highlighting
• Change highlight color

• Semantic Highlighting for c,cpp

• clangd (Version >= 9.0)
• Neovim (Version >= 0.5)
• nvim-lsp

• With vim-plug:

" Required
Plug 'neovim/nvim-lsp'
" Plugin
Plug 'robert-oleynik/clangd-nvim'

Add to init file:

lua << EOF
local clangd_nvim = require'clangd_nvim'

require'nvim_lsp'.clangd.setup{
    capabilities = {
        textDocument = {
            semanticHighlightingCapabilities = {
                semanticHighlighting = true
            }
        }
    },
    on_init = clangd_nvim.on_init
}
EOF

Enable semantic highlighting

Enabled by default

lua require'clangd_nvim'.enable()

Disable semantic highlighting

lua require'clangd_nvim'.disable()

Reload current buffer's semantic highlight

lua require'clangd_nvim'.reload()

Clear current buffer's semantic highlight

lua require'clangd_nvim'.clear_highlight()

1. Add to init file (init.vim)

augroup ConfigSetup
    autocmd!
    autocmd VimEnter,ColorScheme * runtime syntax/custom_colors.vim
augroup END

2. Add to neovim config folder syntax/custom_colors.vim-File (on Linux ~/.config/nvim/syntax/custom_colors.vim)
3. Change Colors by:

hi! default link <clangd-syntax-highlight-group> <vim-syntax-highlight-group>
" Example:
hi! default link ClangdClass Type

Note: :so $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/hitest.vim lists all available syntax highlight groups with colors.
