I have a problem with Vim in Insert Mode and JS dot chained functions indentations.
I will try to show a problem with a few code examples & screenshots:
In all modern editors:
document
.querySelector('.btn-roll')
.addEventListener('click', play)
cursor position
in Vim:
document
.querySelector('.btn-roll')
.addEventListener('click', play)
cursor position
Does anyone know is there a way to fix it?
UPDATE
I think I found a solution with this plugin pangloss/vim-javascript
But is there any other solutions?

The cursor blinking is off by default in Neovim and I want it back. I have tried to apply different arguments to guicursor, but didn't succeed. Since I want it to blink the same way in every mode, I think, I need something with the letter 'a' in it.
Here's what I have tried so far:
:set guicursor=a:blinkwait700-blinkon400-blinkoff250 (I also tried with 'i')
:set guicursor=a:blinkon100 (as the opposite of a:blinkon0 which switches it off)
I've already looked into the help but it didn't help me unfortunately.
Update:
What is peculiar is that :set guicursor=a:blinkon100 enables the blinking in gVim, but not in Neovim.
From neovim 0.2 onwards, setting guicursor does achieve the desired effect:
" Enable blinking together with different cursor shapes for insert/command mode, and cursor highlighting:
set guicursor=n-v-c:block,i-ci-ve:ver25,r-cr:hor20,o:hor50
\,a:blinkwait700-blinkoff400-blinkon250-Cursor/lCursor
\,sm:block-blinkwait175-blinkoff150-blinkon175
Find more by typing :help 'guicursor' from inside nvim.

Finally, if you use st, you can patch it to get this working:
https://st.suckless.org/patches/blinking_cursor/
EDIT: I noticed from the comments of the first answer that OP was talking about nvim-qt, for those interested in that, a fix for it has been merged at the beginning of this year.
If you are using the st terminal by Suckless then that does not support cursor blinking I belive, otherwise if your terminal does support it try setting the option let $NVIM_TUI_ENABLE_CURSOR_SHAPE=1 in your init.vim file. You could also pass that on the command line such as NVIM_TUI_ENABLE_CURSOR_SHAPE=1 nvim.
I want vim to autocomplete my braces, eg. when I input ( , vim should auto type ) and move the cursor to the middle of the braces automatically for me, just like all the other text editors do.
This seems easy but I haven't found a proper way. I installed YouCompleteMe but it doesn't seem to solve my problem. What can I do to get the feature I want?
Have a look at the Automatically append closing characters page on the Vim Tips Wiki. It describes some simple setups, and has a list of plugins that offer this functionality. I personally use the AutoClose plugin, but only occasionally, as I don't find this functionality very helpful.
How do I emulate Sublime text's auto complete behavior for curly braces {} on vim? Basically, when a parenthesis is opened, it should auto close in the same line, and when <CR> is pressed the cursor should go to the next line with a block indentation and } should fall in line with the original indention of the line containing the {. If my question is not clear, this is the default behavior of most code editors when dealing with {}.
The Automatically append closing characters page on the Vim Tips Wiki has everything from simplistic mappings to complete plugin solutions. There seem to be issues with the latest Vim 7.4 version, though.
There exist many plugins with similar features as Ingo pointed out.
lh-brackets, that I'm maintaining, has the features you describe:
{ inserts {} and moves the cursor in between (and also inserts a placeholder after the closing bracket
hitting <cr> while within a pair of curly-brackets will insert another newline in-between (and indent correctly)
During a research for useful vim plugins I found a screenshot of a vim window showing some kind of dotted guides highlighting either indentation or folds. I'm not sure about what they highlight actually.
Does anyone know which plugin generates these guides and what their purpose is?
You can find the screenshot right here: http://oi54.tinypic.com/2yysefm.jpg
If you use tabs to indent your code, you can use the 'list' option to make your tabs visible.
In your ~/.vimrc:
set list
set listchars=tab:┊\ <-- don't forget the trailing space.
Obviously, this will work only if Vim supports utf-8.
I'm trying to achieve something simple, usually called "function hints". For example, scintilla-based editors have it:
You type a name, and just get the prototype. There are a few problems with that in vim:
You have to rebuild the ctags to keep it up to date
You can't type C-X C-O after the (, you'll just get "Pattern not found"
You can't type C-X C-O in normal mode, the cursor will just jump around
You get the annoying preview window at the top
I've tried a few plugins; most of them mess things up even more [^1].Can anyone recommend a simple way to get just that ? A simple rectangle containing the function prototype and nothing more.
[^1] It's really mind-numbing how idiotic some of these plugins are. One plugin (I won't mention it) actually contained in the .vim file a list of functions from libc.
ctags for autocompletion is a mess. I suggest you try a compiler based plugin such as clang-complete or gcc-sense (haven't tried this one). Advantages are:
more accuracy as what they do is pretty much compiling
compile errors are marked on the fly over the source code
You have to rebuild the ctags to keep it up to date
you don't need to deal with ctags (they are still useful to jump around though)
You can't type C-X C-O after the (, you'll just get "Pattern not found"
what would you expect?
You can't type C-X C-O in normal mode, the cursor will just jump around
you can always remap that sequence if you think it's a frequent mistake (something like nnoremap <C-x><C-o> a<C-x><C-o>)
You get the annoying preview window at the top
You can disable this by removing preview fromcompleteopt option. see :help completeopt
I'm using the following setup:
clang-complete for completion
supertab to complete with tab key
ultisnips for function signature placeholders. (also works with snipmate)
and some vimrc settings:
set pumheight=10 " so the complete menu doesn't get too big
set completeopt=menu,longest " menu, menuone, longest and preview
let g:SuperTabDefaultCompletionType='context'
let g:clang_complete_auto=0 " I can start the autocompletion myself, thanks..
let g:clang_snippets=1 " use a snippet engine for placeholders
let g:clang_snippets_engine='ultisnips'
let g:clang_auto_select=2 " automatically select and insert the first match
Enjoy!
Try to use eclim (plugin for integration with Eclipse).
This solution is overheaded a lot but it works in all cases.
