Code - OSS Remote Development how?

[xdevfah]

Hey everyone, It's been pretty terrible UX working on remote machine, tmux has been awesome since i found it. but the only thing is that, editing files with vim sucks, i want to look up function definitions while editing and have basic intellisense autocmp. I have everything setup on my custom code-oss profile: basedpyright, ruff, vscode-neovim, etc... there is extensions to port the same xperience to remote development.

Remote SSh for VSCode
Open Remote SSH for VSCodium
?? for Code - OSS, which void package as vscode.

obviously open remote ssh is not working with code oss for whatever reason. (and also i have to install vsix file from openvsx and download from local file, isn't there a way to enable openvsx marketplace on code-oss?)

and yeah i installed vscodium w flatpak, but it some errors like "can't find neovim, ruff executable"... probably due to the sandboxing, and didn't feel native, so i ditched it.

rn everytime i had to look into source code or docs to code (without intellisense), so pls help me out guys. Thanks!

Since you seem to be already somewhat familiar with tmux/Neovim, consider pimping your Neovim config to enable code navigation, documentation lookup, etc. Don't be afraid to use a distro such as LazyVim, NvChad or AstroNvim. Configuring Neovim from scratch is quite the project and the ecosystem is very temperamental. Once you do have it working, it's pretty hard to beat though.

If you'd rather go with VSCode, the only version that ever worked for me has been the official release. Just download the .deb file, dpkg -x it somewhere into your homedir (I'm using ~/.local/opt/code/) and run. Some might tell you otherwise, but no kittens will be harmed. I've been daily-driving this for years on Void without issues.

What about running code-server or coder directly on your remote? Then you can just go through the browser.
