Installation

vim-plug

Plug 'silq-lang/vim-silq'

lazy.nvim

{ 'silq-lang/vim-silq' }

Manual

Copy the three directories into your ~/.vim/ (Vim) or ~/.config/nvim/ (Neovim):

ftdetect/silq.vim
syntax/silq.vim
indent/silq.vim

Notes

Vim's indentexpr returns a single integer (the target column), which cannot separately encode structural tabs and alignment spaces. To work around this, lines requiring alignment (i.e. then/else) return -1 from indentexpr and are instead handled by a custom s:ApplyIndent function that writes the correct tab+space prefix directly. This is hooked into <CR> in insert mode and ==/= in normal and visual mode.
