After failing to get some plugins to work with VS Code I decided that perhaps a simpler editor like Neovim would be a nice candidate for simple programs. after watching a few tutorials and getting myself familiar with the plugin manager ecosystem, I decided to settle on vim-plug.

The thing is, I can't get Mason to work at all. People recommended it as a simple solution for managing LSPs and it seemed reasonable enough to try. Mason installs, but no Mason-specific command is recognized by Neovim. I can launch the UI manually with require("mason.ui").open(), but that's that. No list of LSPs I can download, just a blank UI. I have tried reinstalling, downloading an older version, sanity checking everything 10 times. All other plugins I have work as expected. The only other thing which doesn't seem to work is showcmd which, in theory, should suggest commands as I type them out.

I can't find any open issue on github regarding this problem. Google search didn't yield any usef
