Semantic Highlighting in Neovim

What is Semantic Highlighting?
Default Highlighting
Using LspTokenUpdate for Complex Highlighting
- Highlighting Based on More Than One Modifier
Dealing with Ambiguity

Code is clean if it can be understood easily – by everyone on the team. Clean code can be read and enhanced by a developer other than its original author. With understandability comes readability, changeability, extensibility and maintainability.

General rules

Follow standard conventions.
Keep it simple stupid. Simpler is always better. Reduce complexity as much as possible.
Boy scout rule. Leave the campground cleaner than you found it.
Always find root cause. Always look for the root cause of a problem.

Design rules

Step 1 - Make a Discord Webhook

Find the Discord channel in which you would like to send commits and other updates
In the settings for that channel, find the Webhooks option and create a new webhook. Note: Do NOT give this URL out to the public. Anyone or service can post messages to this channel, without even needing to be in the server. Keep it safe!

Step 2 - Set up the webhook on Github

Navigate to your repository on Github, and open the Settings

To remove a submodule you need to:

Delete the relevant section from the .gitmodules file.
Stage the .gitmodules changes git add .gitmodules
Delete the relevant section from .git/config.
Run git rm --cached path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
Run rm -rf .git/modules/path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
Commit git commit -m "Removed submodule "
Delete the now untracked submodule files rm -rf path_to_submodule

	I needed to install vim with lua support because I wanted to use neocomplete in my recently installed 15.04 distro. Also, this has python3 enabled by default.

	Tested on 16.04 now

	Update: This has been tested and verified to work on Ubuntu 16.04 as well. Also, if you wish to use particular branch/tag, you can get the version and then checkout appropriately.
	The following (based upon https://gist.github.com/jdewit/9818870) should work though I copied it from history:

	sudo apt-get remove --purge vim vim-runtime vim-gnome vim-tiny vim-common vim-gui-common
	sudo apt-get build-dep vim-gnome
	sudo apt-get install build-essential liblua5.3-0 liblua5.3-dev python-dev ruby-dev libperl-dev libncurses5-dev libgnome2-dev libgnomeui-dev libgtk2.0-dev libatk1.0-dev libbonoboui2-dev libcairo2-dev libx11-dev libxpm-dev libxt-dev
