This has less to do with vim than with Terraforms poor LSP support.

Vim/Neovim has had LSP support for some time with plugins and now built in natively.

I use COC vim as it's the fastest to get started and I rarely have to do much config as it's based on VSCode and comes with sane bindings for go-to-def, refactoring and more. https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig

You can try to use either of these implementations: https://github.com/juliosueiras/terraform-lsp https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-ls

These are both fairly limited but you can see every editor (except intellij) uses this under the hood.

I've used them at companies with 300+ terraform repos and have never had much of an issue navigating/understanding TF through Vim.

By no means am I placing the blame at vim's feet. I know it is a terraform problem.

Do those projects allow me to follow a user defined variable to its definition?
