# [Blogs](../blog/) >> Use Vim as a Kotlin IDE
This is a general guide for using SpaceVim as a Kotlin IDE, including layer configuration and usage.
Each of the following sections will be covered:
<!-- vim-markdown-toc GFM -->
- [Enable language layer](#enable-language-layer)
- [Code completion](#code-completion)
- [Syntax linting](#syntax-linting)
- [Jump to test file](#jump-to-test-file)
- [running code](#running-code)
- [Code formatting](#code-formatting)
- [REPL support](#repl-support)
- [Tasks manager](#tasks-manager)
<!-- vim-markdown-toc -->
### Enable language layer
To add Kotlin language support in SpaceVim, you need to enable the `lang#kotlin` layer. Press `SPC f v d` to open
SpaceVim configuration file, and add the following snippet:
```toml
[[layers]]
name = "lang#kotlin"
```
For more info, you can read the [lang#kotlin](../layers/lang/kotlin/) layer documentation.
### Code completion
`lang#kotlin` layer will load the Kotlin plugin automatically, unless it's overriden in your `init.toml`.
The completion menu will be opened as you type.
### Syntax linting
The [checkers](../layers/checkers/) layer is enabled by default.
This layer provides asynchronous syntax linting for kotlin.
The default plugin is [neomake](https://github.com/neomake/neomake),
and the default lint command is [ktlint](https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint).
In the Windows system, `ktlint` can be installed using [scoop](https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop):
```
scoop bucket add extras
scoop install ktlint
```

### Jump to test file
To manager the alternate files in a project, you need to current a `.project_alt.json` in the root of your project.
Within the `.project_alt.json` file, the definitions of alternate files should be included.
For example:
```json
{
"src/*.kt": {"alternate": "test/{}.kt"},
"test/*.kt": {"alternate": "src/{}.kt"}
}
```
With this configuration, you can jump between the source code and test file via command `:A`
### running code
To run current kotlin script, you can press `SPC l r`, and a split window
will be openen, the output of the script will be shown in this window.
It is running asynchronously, and will not block your Vim.

### Code formatting
The [format](../layers/format/) layer is also enabled by default.
With this layer you can use key binding `SPC b f` to format current buffer.
Before using this feature, please install [prettier](https://prettier.io/):
```
npm install --save-dev --save-exact prettier
```
### REPL support
Start a `kotlinc-jvm` inferior REPL process with `SPC l s i`. After the REPL process being started, you can
send code to inferior process. All key bindings prefix with `SPC l s`, including sending line, sending selection or even
send whole buffer.

### Tasks manager
Create `.SpaceVim.d/task.toml` file in the root of your project. and add all the task command into it.
```toml
[gradle-build]
command = 'gradlew'
args = ['build']
```
For more info about task configuration, please checkout the [task documentation](../documentation/#task)
