What?
Just use a real IDE or some meme.js editor if you need plugins.

C/C++ (ms-vscode.cpptools)

>>60114509
also learning C.
when reading from pointers, do you guys copy its contents first and then access members via struct.member or are accessing members via struct->member?

Cvim makes vim better than any ide

Why do you want to copy the member (by accessing with ->) and not just use it with ->

>>60114788
you mean the chrome extension?

>>60114509
You don't really need one, just set filetype true and syntax true in your .vimrc and you are good to go

Vundle/Dein/whatever vim package manager

You are doing it wrong, just install the public domain MicroGnuEmacs and start coding right away, don't waste your time adding plugins to a shit editor.

When learning C, using a text editor only might actually be beneficial. It forces you to write everything, use a compiler and learn how to use it, create makefiles, use valgrind etc.

Your question is weird. If you got

int variable = 5;
int *p_var = &variable;

you can just do

*variable

to access the value. If you want to modify it, it's the same shit.
For a structure, if the members of the structure are variables and you do a

Struct mystruct;
Struct *p_struct = &mystruct;

if the member is a simple int, just access it via

 p_struct->var;

no need to copy or this kind of shit.

Best thing is to create a .c file, and try a lot of things and see by yourself what works and what doesn't.

Never understood how to get youcompleteme to work

>>60114509
Just use Sublime.

>>60114509
If you can't figure that out you shouldn't use vim

if your learning a new language, why are you also choosing to learn the most unintuitive editor known to man at the same time

just use google drive notepad, it has a clipboard manager, find/replace, and syntax highlighting, all you really need

syntastic won't hurt neither

syntastic will save you a lot of time
git gutter if you're learning git too
