Brief descriptions for the nimsuggest related files:
- nim-company.el: auto completion feature
- nim-thing-at-point.el: thing-at-point for nim
- nim-eldoc: show information in minibuffer
After you install nimsuggest, you may need following configuration.
(setq nim-nimsuggest-path "path/to/nimsuggest")Note that above nim-nimsuggest-path variable is automatically set
result of (executable-find "nimsuggest"), so if you can get value from
the executable-find, you might don't need above configuration.

(add-to-list 'company-backends
'(company-nim :with company-nim-builtin))nim-eldoc
