YouCompleteMe VS deoplete.nvim

For vim specifically, I've been using coc.nvim, which works pretty well for my needs, and I know its quite popular. Another fairly popular one is YouCompleteMe, which I had taken a look at for some other languages; but ended up just using coc as I can't justify using YCM once a year (if that) -- too much "headache" for not a lot of use, you know?

YouCompleteMe. A pretty good autocompletion plugin, though vim does have its own, somewhat useful built-in auto completion that requires more keystrokes

There are plugins to do semantic highlighting. I don't use any of them because I'm satisfied with Vim's native syntax highlighting and with tree-sitter (and also because I don't use LSPs), but searching for "Vim semantic highlighting" on DuckDuckGo yields this: https://github.com/ycm-core/YouCompleteMe. The highlighting used in its demo is too baroque for my taste, but looking at your VSCode screenshot, it looks like it would be right up your alley.

The plugin that is requiring Python3 is You Complete Me here is the link!! The Vundle link I was looking at is also in the body of my post.

I use vim for C++ coding, however it is a bit difficult to set up to make it productive. I use YouCompleteMe [0] for autocompletion, Vimspector [1] with the C++ plugin for debugging, ALE [2] for linting, along with a few other general plugins (such as NerdTREE for file view).

I didn't make a complete list of requirements :) This issue makes YCM uninteresting to me, so I've not dug too deep into it.

my favorite is YouCompleteMe.

I think in-the-wild examples like Ultisnips deoplete semshi (although they are advanced and somewhat complex) would also be good examples to learn how one can use python for writing plugins.

If you post your issue on https://github.com/Shougo/deoplete.nvim/issues, Shougo might be able to better assist you.

I have a problem with Deoplete and Vim-LSP completion (Python's Pylsp and Jedi-Language-Server). The suggestion is much less, and it also misses a lot of opportunities to suggest compared to Deoplete-Jedi, which literally defeats the former by a large margin. Is there a setting to make this duo works like deoplete with deoplete-jedi?

Someone made an issue on this question, with the author suggesting float-previewnvim.

This exactly why I keep using deoplete! Other completion plugins don't handle middle of word completion correctly.

As we can see, it's a deoplete issue. By reading the docs at https://github.com/Shougo/deoplete.nvim, under the requirements section, it needs nvim to be compiled with python support.

Hmm. Maybe I don't know what to look for (not an expert at vim), but I have searched the deoplete documentation and I can't see any options to allow as-you-type omnicompletion. There are things like external sources, but I don't need that. Everything is available from , I just need that to be automatic.

For me I've been using deoplete.nvim for everyday use and for a long time and will probably transition to [ddc.vim](https://github.com/Shougo/ddc.vim] which is the next iteration after deoplete from the same author and is very similar to cmp in terms of setup with user customization.

To my knowledge thats not possible with omnicompletion. For this you would have to use an auto-completion plugin. I am using compe because its fast, minimal and integrates well with the builtin nvim-lsp but there are many others. The most popular is probably coc. You could also check out deoplete.
