Use your own editor autocomplete

[yevgenybulochnik]

Hello, wanted to first thank the marimo team for developing such a fantastic product!

I typically code in neovim + tmux and was very excited with the addition of file watching #3437 and auto run on editor change #3753. These two PRs vastly improve the ability to use your own editor.

One thing I noticed is each marimo cell is defined in a function. Since all variables become locally scoped, autocompletion in neovim gets severely limited unless you import packages within every cell and then comment them out when you run the cell.

Nvim-otter solves this problem for quarto, but I suspect this wont work for marimo. Are there other ways to tap into the autocompletions marimo provides in its UI?

@yevgenybulochnik - we are experimenting with something now by making marimo it's own LSP that you can connect your editor too. Still very much in the experimental phase, but can update you as we learn more.

It looks like nvim-otter also creates an LSP, so hopefully on the right track

Have been playing around with otter.nvim and marimo notebooks as markdown. Autocompletion appears to be working well!
