please add 'String' in ktType @ line 21 of kotlin.vim

It would be great if vim could give you basic Kotlin syntax highlighting out-of-the-box. Any interest in sending a patch to add syntax into https://github.com/vim/vim/tree/master/runtime/syntax?

I just installed your plugin and started vim with a Kotlin file.
First thing happening is this:

$ vim build.gradle.kts
Fehler beim Ausführen von "~/.vim/plugin/kotlin-vim/syntax_checkers/kotlin/kotlinc.vim":
Zeile   99:
E121: Undefinierte Variable: g:SyntasticRegistry
Betätigen Sie die EINGABETASTE oder geben Sie einen Befehl ein

Can the grammar color be more beautiful?……^_^

fun foo() {
    /*
    println()
    */
    <caret>

Press } at the caret position in the source above.

Expected result:

fun foo() {
    /*
    println()
    */
}

Actual result:

fun foo() {
    /*
    println()
    */
    }

Triple-quoted strings in Kotlin do not do any escape processing so backslash-character should not be interpreted as an escape sequence.

E.g. my TeamCity config contains lines such as

        scriptContent = """tools\bin\make -C workdir myapp"""

...and the backslash-b is highlighted as if it is valid while backslash-m is highlighted as an error. Neither of these should be highlight.

I believe that the fix is to simply remove the ,ktSpecialChar,ktSpecialCharError bit from the end of the line in syntax/kotlin.vim for ktString start='"""' but I'm not sure if that's entirely correct.

I reference the information about "raw strings" on https://devtut.github.io/kotlin/strings.html#string-literals

How do you feel about adding support for appropriate makeprg into this plugin?
Something like this should do:

:setlocal makeprg=java\ -cp\ .:/usr/local/Cellar/kotlin/1.3.10/libexec/lib/kotlin-stdlib.jar\ %:r:gs?^.?\\u&?Kt

(
% filename
:r remove extension
gs?^.?\\u&? - capitalise first letter (hello - Hello) - same as in /^./\u&/gs
Kt - add to the end
)

This will cover scripts without specified package:
:!java -cp .:/usr/local/Cellar/kotlin/1.3.10/libexec/lib/kotlin-stdlib.jar HelloKt

But sure this can be extended with something like :echo substitute(getline(1), ‘package ‘, ‘’, ‘’).

I'm not totally clear on how to get kotlin stdlib path. We can try to guess it or require user to set env variable to the kotlin install dir.

Vim 8.1 does not detect *.kt nor *.kts files as kotlin.

Would you consider sending this plugin upstream to https://github.com/vim/vim/ ? All that's needed is for you (the author) to create an issue at https://github.com/vim/vim/ , point to this repo and say that you are the author and you would like it to be included.

I think this should probably be:

$ git clone https://github.com/udalov/kotlin-vim ~/.vim/bundle/kotlin-vim

otherwise it will attempt to clone into the ~/.vim/bundle directory directly, which fails if there are already other bundles installed.

I've installed the plugin using Vundle
Plugin 'udalov/kotlin-vim'

Then I've made sure to run PluginInstall. Everything went fine and I've restarted the editor several times. But I get not syntax highlighting at all.

I'm a noob with Vim package managers, but I noticed Vim 8 packages are not mentioned in README. What about them? Do you support them? How to install using that?

This may not be an issue but a configurations error instead, I'm new to vim, I already searched for related solutions to my issue but I find none. I directed here to find some answers.

There are no errors - tried disabling all other plugins but no cigar. No errors or warnings either.

I've come across a bug in the indent/kotlin.vim file. The way it currently handles indentations does not account for C style/Javadoc comments like so:

/**
 * Comment
 * Stuff
 */
fun doSomething(): Int {
    
}

The problem:

When using the formatoptions r flag, Vim allows auto placement of comment blocks with a return line. For example, in normal Java, this will look like:

/**

Then pressing enter will give:

/**
 *

With the default configuration of the comments option in Vim. Kotlin's current indentation vim script ignores these settings, and places:

/**
*

This cannot be fixed unless the indentation script is modified. My current work around has been to remove the indentation script.

Let's have Kotlin completions!!! 😄

I've forked this repo to start working on completions, but it would be nice to collaborate on a feature branch here. I've never written a Vim plugin, so I'm using this as a guide: https://github.com/artur-shaik/vim-javacomplete2

They're using an AST parser, which Kotlin provides as an embeddable dependency (I've used it here: https://github.com/notion/kotlin-format). If this doesn't fit into the scope of this repo, I can close this issue and start a new project.

Function name highlighting is implemented in both rust.vim and vim-cpp-enhanced-highlight, and rust.vim has highlighting for names of structs too, which is really nice (would be highlighting of class/interface/etc. names here). I'm not sure if this is wanted in this particular plugin, but I figured I'd throw it out there since it helps readability and makes things look nicer IMHO.

This could be implemented multiple ways too. For example, python-syntax only highlights the names of functions when they are defined, but not called (as far as I've noticed). I think always highlighting function names (on both calls and definitions) looks nicer, but of course opinions on this will vary.
