I just started a new job where I have to ssh into a remote linux vm to work on a qt driven c++ project. I don’t really have a lot of leeway on what can be added to the remote environment, and I don’t think local development is possible. The vm has vim and qtcreator.
I’m from a Java background and I’m learning c++ for this role, while I’m comfortable in vim, I’d really like to have a tool that can give me autocomplete, jump to definition and linting. I know these things can be set up in neovim, but I asked about having that put on the box and was not given a good reaction.
I also know tools like vscode and possibly clion can be set up to do remote work via ssh. Does anyone have experience with this and suggestion on a good setup?
Depending on what restrictions you have, you could try VSCode? That’s what students were told to do at my university for remote C / C++ development off the school’s servers

I’m not familiar with the others, but for vscode
><in the bottom leftI think some people here are using vscode, I’ve not been a huge fan of it in the past but I should probably look into their workflow.
You can add a vscode-vim plugin and use it mostly like vim.
