A Zero to Hero Vim + Metals setup for Scala
summary
Quick runnable setup that installs Metals automatically via COC.nvim extension, configures mappings, imports build interaction and works with bloop and sbt; provides rename, find references, code actions (bring into scope, implement members), a tree view, worksheets with virtual-text output in Neovim, and a doctor check. Debugger/inspector integration is landing soon. Claims setup takes minutes, aims for parity with VS Code features, and notes about 30% of Scala users already using Metals in recent surveys.
