Hello.
I often use phoenix for developing web application. My main text editor is vscode because I don’t know a way to write elixir codes with vim… and I don’t know any people who use vim for writing elixir around me.
Does anyone use vim when you write elixir?
I’m interested in .vimrc for elixir.

If you’re already familiar with Vim, please go ahead and try some of the above suggestions.
Though, if you’re very new to Vim, I’d suggest to try out Vim with minimal setup, so you get the basics right and then add configurations later.
Also, if you can be more specific about what you’re looking for in Vim with regards to elixir, like auto-completion, code snippets, etc., that’d be great for people helping you.
Hope the below articles might help you a bit:

Depending on how advanced your Vim requirements are, you may be happy with Vim emulation in VS Code, which still gives you the benefits of the VS Code environment.
