A Vim plugin that integrates the clang-format tool for formatting C, C++, Objective-C, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Protobuf, CUDA, and Vala code. It offers commands and operator mappings for whole-buffer, visual-selection, and auto-format-on-write, with style options configurable from .vimrc.

Use cases

  • format C++ code in vim with clang-format
  • auto-format buffers on save in vim
  • format only selected lines in visual mode
  • customize clang-format style options from vimrc
  • use clang-format without the python interface
  • map a key to format code as an operator

When to choose

  • you use Vim/Neovim and want deep clang-format integration with operator mappings
  • you cannot rely on the Python interface required by clang-format.py
  • you want style options configurable directly in .vimrc

When to avoid

  • you use another editor like VS Code or Emacs with native clang-format integrations
  • you need a formatter for languages outside the C family and clang-format's supported set
  • you want an actively developed plugin with recent releases
