Editor Setup

clice implements the Language Server Protocol, so any editor with an LSP client can use it. The editors below fall into two groups: editors with an official clice plugin, and editors configured through their generic LSP client.

All setups assume:

• The clice executable is on your PATH (or use an absolute path in the snippets below).
• Your project provides a compile_commands.json (by default clice searches the workspace root and build/).

Official Plugins

Visual Studio Code

Install the clice extension from the marketplace. The extension downloads a clice binary automatically; set clice.executable to use your own build.

Neovim

clice ships an LSP config for Neovim ≥ 0.11 in editors/nvim. Copy doc/clice.lua into your config's lsp/ directory, then enable it:

vim.lsp.enable('clice')

Zed

The Zed extension lives in editors/zed.

Generic LSP Clients

Helix

Add to ~/.config/helix/languages.toml:

[language-server.clice]
command = "clice"
args = ["server"]

[[language]]
name = "cpp"
language-servers = ["clice"]

[[language]]
name = "c"
language-servers = ["clice"]

Emacs

With the built-in eglot:

(with-eval-after-load 'eglot
  (add-to-list 'eglot-server-programs
               '((c-mode c-ts-mode c++-mode c++-ts-mode)
                 . ("clice" "server"))))

Sublime Text

Install the LSP package, then add to its settings:

{
  "clients": {
    "clice": {
      "enabled": true,
      "command": ["clice", "server"],
      "selector": "source.c | source.c++"
    }
  }
}

Kate

Open Settings → Configure Kate → LSP Client → User Server Settings and add:

{
  "servers": {
    "c": {
      "command": ["clice", "server"],
      "url": "https://github.com/clice-io/clice",
      "highlightingModeRegex": "^(C|C\\+\\+)$"
    }
  }
}

Vim

With vim-lsp:

if executable('clice')
    au User lsp_setup call lsp#register_server({
        \ 'name': 'clice',
        \ 'cmd': {server_info->['clice', 'server']},
        \ 'allowlist': ['c', 'cpp'],
        \ })
endif
